"How much does a drone shoot cost?" is usually the first question we get — and the honest answer is: it depends on what you need. Here's a straightforward look at what drives aerial pricing on Long Island so you can budget with confidence.
What affects the price
- Type of project — a quick listing shoot, a full event, or an ongoing inspection contract are very different jobs.
- Deliverables — photos only, video, or a full package with edits and vertical cuts.
- Time on site — a single home vs. a large estate, commercial site, or multi-building property.
- Add-ons — twilight sessions, rush delivery, mapping, or recurring flights.
Real estate is the most predictable
Listing shoots are the easiest to price because the scope is consistent — a defined set of exterior photos and a short video, delivered fast. That's why our real estate packages are flat-rate and MLS-ready.
The value side of the equation
Aerial content helps listings sell faster, helps businesses win attention, and helps property owners avoid costly surprises on a roof or job site. For most clients, the question isn't really the cost — it's the return.
