High winds
Rain or poor visibility
Safety concerns over the operation area
Your safety and quality imagery are our top priority.

Absolutely. We encourage sharing your vision, preferred perspectives, or key focal points in advance to ensure your expectations are met.
What formats are the final deliverables?
Photography & Videography delivered via secure online download links, typically in .jpg format.
Mapping data includes georeferenced orthomosaic maps, point clouds, and 3D models, maps are typically .tiff format, and 3D models in .obj format.
Raw footage/files available upon request for advanced use.
What’s involved in your workflow for mapping & modeling?
Flight Planning & Route Definition – automated with customizable parameters (speed, altitude, direction)
Data Collection – using 5-directional oblique capture for optimal coverage
Quality Review – ensuring centimeter‑level precision before processing
Data Processing – via DJI Terra or similar for final 2D/3D outputs
How is my data kept secure?
