What Services Does Aeolus Aerial Media Offer to Bring Your Vision to Life?

How Can Aerial Perspectives Benefit My Business?


1: What is a drone operator, and why would I need one?

A drone operator is a licensed professional who flies drones for various purposes, such as aerial photography, videography, inspections, and surveying. You may need a drone operator to capture unique perspectives for marketing materials, real estate listings, events, or to gather data from hard-to-reach areas.

2: What types of drones do you operate?

We operate a variety of drones including Mavic-style drones for cinematic shots and FPV drones for immersive, high-speed footage. Mavic drones are ideal for smooth, stable shots, while FPV drones provide dynamic, first-person views for more creative and action-oriented content.

3: How do FPV drones differ from Mavic-style drones?

FPV (First-Person View) drones are designed for agile, immersive flying and provide real-time video feed through goggles, offering a unique and highly interactive flying experience. Mavic-style drones are typically used for smooth, cinematic shots with stable, GPS-assisted flight.

4: Do I need to provide the drone, or do you provide one?

As a professional drone service, we provide all necessary equipment, including drones, cameras, and other accessories required for the job. This ensures you get the highest quality results without worrying about the technical setup.

5: Can drones fly indoors?

Yes, drones can fly indoors, but they require careful handling. Indoor flying often involves more obstacles, so the operator must be skilled in maintaining control. We can assist with indoor drone flights for events or content creation.

6: How do you ensure safety when flying drones in crowded or public areas?

Safety is our top priority. We follow all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines, use prop guards when necessary, and ensure the flight area is cleared and secure before taking off. We also use drones equipped with advanced sensors to avoid obstacles.

7: Do you need special permits to fly drones commercially?

Yes, as a Part 107 certified drone operator, we are licensed by the FAA to fly drones commercially. This certification ensures that we adhere to all regulatory standards, including airspace restrictions, flight safety, and operational procedures.

8: How long can a drone fly on a single battery charge?

The flight time of a drone depends on the model and the conditions, but Mavic-style drones typically fly for 25-35 minutes on a full charge, while FPV drones may last 10-15 minutes depending on the battery size and flight style.

9: What kind of footage can you capture with a drone?

We can capture a wide variety of content, including high-resolution images, 4K video, 360-degree panoramas, and immersive FPV footage. Whether it's for real estate, events, or action sports, we can tailor the footage to your needs.

10: What are the benefits of using a drone for real estate photography?

Drones offer unique, high-quality aerial views that provide a sense of space, location, and context for real estate properties. This perspective helps potential buyers visualize the property better than traditional photography, making it a valuable tool for marketing.

11: Can drones be used for inspections?

Yes, drones are highly effective for conducting inspections of hard-to-reach areas such as rooftops, towers, and bridges. Drones reduce the need for ladders or scaffolding, making inspections quicker, safer, and more cost-effective.

12: How do drones handle in windy conditions?

Drones are equipped with sensors that help them maintain stability in moderate winds, but they do have limitations. In extreme winds, the drone's stability may be compromised, and we will assess weather conditions to ensure safe operation.

13: What is the maximum distance a drone can fly?

Mavic-style drones typically have a range of up to 5-7 miles (8-12 km), while FPV drones have a shorter range due to their reliance on line-of-sight control, usually up to 1-2 miles (1.5-3 km). However, local regulations may restrict how far drones can legally fly.

14: What happens if the drone loses signal or crashes?

If the drone loses signal, most modern drones have a “return to home” feature, which automatically brings the drone back to its takeoff point. Additionally, we ensure all equipment is in top condition to minimize the risk of malfunctions.

15: How do you ensure high-quality aerial footage in challenging lighting conditions?

We use professional-grade drones with advanced cameras capable of shooting in low light, bright sunlight, and even at night. We also adjust settings such as exposure, ISO, and shutter speed to achieve the best results in any lighting condition.

16: How do you prepare a location for drone flight?

We scout the location beforehand to assess any potential obstacles, such as power lines, trees, or restricted airspace. We also ensure that we have proper permissions and safety measures in place for the flight.

17: Can drones capture audio?

No, drones do not capture audio due to the noise from their propellers. However, we can add audio or music in post-production.

18: Do I need to book the drone service in advance?

Yes, it's recommended to book drone services in advance, especially for events or projects requiring specific timing. However, we can accommodate last-minute bookings depending on availability.

19: Can drones capture thermal or infrared images?

Yes, drones equipped with thermal or infrared cameras can capture images and videos showing temperature differences. This is especially useful for applications such as building inspections, search and rescue operations, and wildlife monitoring.

20: Are drones allowed to fly over private property?

Drones are subject to FAA regulations, and we respect private property rights. We obtain permission from property owners when required and ensure that we stay within legal boundaries.

21: How do you handle drone footage editing?

We offer post-production services to edit drone footage, including color correction, stabilization, audio enhancement, and custom video sequences. The final product can be tailored to suit your specific needs, whether for a promotional video or a highlight reel.

22: What is your pricing structure for drone services?

Our pricing depends on the type of service you require, the complexity of the shoot, and the time involved. We offer competitive pricing and customizable packages to meet your budget. Contact us for a detailed quote based on your project.

23: Can drones fly in bad weather?

Drones should not be flown in severe weather conditions, including heavy rain, snow, or high winds. We monitor weather forecasts and only proceed with flights in safe conditions. Your safety and the safety of the drone are our top priorities.

24: Are drones loud?

Drones can produce a moderate amount of noise, especially when flying at higher speeds or altitudes. Mavic drones are relatively quieter compared to FPV drones, which can produce more noise due to their faster, more agile flight capabilities.

25: What is the process for booking a drone service?

To book our drone services, visit our website and schedule through our Google Calendar. Once booked, a Google Meet video meeting will be scheduled to discuss project details and scope. A 35% deposit is required to secure the booking, and we will determine the best days for filming during the consultation.
