FPV drone videography in Lincoln.

7 points, Tier 3, capped at two a month, and the most expensive video line on the menu after the brand film. The cost is not the aircraft — it is that a fly-through is flown, not edited. A route through a building has to be scouted, rehearsed and then landed in one unbroken take, and the takes that do not land are simply not the deliverable.

The 48 sec film above is that move used on a residential property: wide lens, low altitude, continuous. What it is used for is the opening of a listing or a hero film, and the reason it works there is that the viewer never gets a cut to disengage on. Where the brief wants the same energy across a whole development rather than one building, that is the hero film at the top of this page.

The shot that establishes. It goes at the front of a walkthrough because a viewer who has seen the street, the grade and the treeline reads every interior frame afterwards with a place to put it. On a corner lot, a walk-out basement or a property backing onto open ground, it is the frame that sells the thing the interiors cannot mention.

It also does a job interiors cannot for amenity spaces: a courtyard with a pool at one end and a fire pit at the other is one photograph from above and four from the ground. Aerial coverage is usually not bought as its own line — it is flown on the same visit and delivered inside the walkthrough edit, or as graded B-roll selects when the client wants the raw material for their own cuts.

A builder or developer selling from plans has nothing to photograph yet, which is exactly when a drone earns its place: the frames above follow the first homes at Hidden Hills out of the ground — framing, roof decking, the graded lots and the street taking shape around them.

Flown top-down and oblique from a position that can be returned to, so the frames stack into a sequence instead of reading as unrelated visits. Ground stills are shot on the same trip, because a drone cannot show a garage bay or a framing detail at eye level and those are what a buyer asks about. Delivered as a stills pack, or as B-roll selects where the developer is cutting their own updates.

Not every brief needs motion. A single top-down frame is the clearest way to show a lot line, a parking count, a roof, or how a site sits against the road — which is why it ends up in site plans, investor decks and press releases as often as on listings.

Priced as photography rather than as video. At 1 point: 5 edited, color-graded high-res brand/property photos. At 2 points, where a development needs the whole site covered from several headings: 12 edited high-res stills for web, press, and editorial. Shot on the same flight as any video on the brief, so the aerial stills cost a point rather than a second visit.
