What Affects Pricing?
Property/Site Size
Larger properties require more flight time and processing. Sites over 5 acres may require multiple flights or full-day operations.
Deliverable Type
Photos are faster than video. Orthomosaics require more processing than standard photos. 3D models and mapping add complexity.
Turnaround Time
Rush delivery (same-day or next-day) is available for an additional fee. Standard turnaround is 24-48 hours for most services.
Location & Airspace
Most LA locations are included. Complex airspace near LAX, BUR, and SMO may require advance authorization scheduling. Remote locations may have a travel fee.
Ongoing vs. One-Time
Regular documentation schedules (weekly, monthly) receive volume discounts. Multi-property portfolios get preferred pricing.
Time of Day
Twilight shoots and event-scheduled flights carry a premium over standard daytime operations due to setup and timing requirements.
Common Questions
How much does drone photography cost in Los Angeles?
Residential real estate drone photography in Los Angeles typically runs $249-$500 depending on property size and deliverables. Commercial properties range from $500-$1,500, and construction mapping projects start around $449 and scale with site size and frequency. Every project gets a detailed written quote before we fly.
Why "starting at" pricing?
Every project is different. A hillside estate in Beverly Hills is a different flight than a warehouse in Long Beach, and a one-time shoot is different from monthly progress documentation. We quote each project based on its actual scope rather than force-fitting it into fixed packages.
How quickly can I get a quote?
Usually within a few hours during business hours. Tell us about your project and we will respond with a detailed quote including timeline, deliverables, and exact pricing.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes. Ongoing construction documentation schedules, multi-property portfolios, and regular real estate clients all qualify for volume pricing. Ask about our agent and property-management programs.
