Can't I just hire my neighbor? He has a drone
Any kind of commercial drone work requires the operator to have a license. This includes using the images for advertising, selling, or any way which directly or indirectly will produce money. If the drone pilot does not have a Part 107 license and is offering paid services, he is doing so illegally. Both parties can be given hefty fines from the FAA if not in compliance with the rules set forth.
what service areas do you cover?
We cover the entire United States for large-scale projects and the Mid-Atlantic region for everything in-between.
what is the lead time to get my flight Scheduled?
The Drone Life’s pilots require a minimum lead time of 5-7 business days before deployment. Unsuitable weather conditions, scheduling conflicts, and the submission of flight authorizations may increase this time window.
In the event your project is time sensitive, we’ll gladly work around your schedule to plan a flight ASAP.
HOW LONG IS THE TURNAROUND TIME?
The majority of projects will be completed and returned within 7 business days. However, this number can vary depending on the type of deliverable being produced.
are you licensed and insured?
Yes! The Drone Life is insured up to $1M. All pilots are properly trained and licensed under the FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. This license is required for anyone who is flying drones commercially.
We’re be happy to provide proof of insurance and licenses upon request.
Can you fly indoors?
Yes! Using our customly built drones, we are able to safely operate inside. Foam guards are attached around the drone propellers so no property could be damaged.
Do You Provide Music For VIDEOS?
Yes! We offer free non-copyrighted music for any video project. This music is licensed for personal and commercial use.
what weather is best for filming?
Contrary to popular belief, full sunny days are not the best for filming with a drone. This is because harsh shadows can be present making it difficult to capture light and dark areas simultaneously. Partly cloudy days just before noon or near sunset are the best times when the sun won’t be so bright.
Can you edit the photos and videos?
Yes! We have vast experience in photo and video editing softwares.
