There was a time when aerial videos are so expensive no small company could afford it. If you were a startup business that needs aerial videos, you need a big budget for the project. Thanks to drones, however, it is now easier and more affordable to get stunning drone videography of real estate property, events, or landscapes from above. What was originally something only a few can afford is now something that is readily available to the masses.

Price

Before, to take photos and videos from the air, a photographer needs to ride on a helicopter or a small aircraft. That means a lot of money because of plane rentals, fuel costs, and pilot fees. You also need to get the photographer or videographer insured. Now, thanks to drones, the cost is more economical and practically everyone can afford it.

Application

People see drones being used on music videos, commercials, and newscasts, but there are many other things that drone videography is used for and that includes real estate properties, property development and management, event coverage, tourism, cartography, and many more.

Time-saving

Preparing for an aerial shoot by using helicopters and small planes is not only expensive, but it is also time-consuming, too. You need to prepare the site, the documents, the insurances, etc.

And there’s no promise of a good weather. But with a drone, you can simply land the equipment and wait for the bad weather to pass. Even with a small window, you can get your drone back safely.

Versatility

Because of the size of the drone, they can provide amazing and unique angles that are not possible with a manned aircraft. A drone can fly low to capture a high-rise building a few inches from the surface of the water.

It can even fly inside a room and capture the image of an audience from above. It can hover in tight places as long as the pilot is skilled enough to do it. This is something that a pilot cannot do.

Unforgettable

A top-shot video is unforgettable and it is striking and attention-grabbing. You are more likely to capture the attention of the viewers and enhance sales and convert visits. This will also increase brand awareness because your videos will be unforgettable.

Branding and marketing

All types of business can find a way to use aerial videos to market their brands and their products. This is a modern and unique way of marketing a business and it has become increasingly popular in the past couple of years. As a business, you need to follow this trend.
