We have another Droid on the way with a bigger payload so we can fly a Canon 550D.
We intend to target Estate agents with country properties, Architects and Builders etc
Just wondering were to go on pricing for these kind of shots?
Shooting video as well.
He's just done an ad for the Droid manufacturer http://youtu.be/60YU7R6QVl0
 
Now that does look a great bit of kit and the end result doesn't look too bad either.
 
So when does 'Speedygonzales_maps.co.uk go live then Steve? :lol:

Brilliant experiment and a superb aerial photo.:thumbs:

Don't forget the CAA regulations involved in flying one of these. I seem to remember that Merseyside Police had theirs grounded for non compliance a while ago.

As I use a mast system I don't know what the regulations are however.

Estate agency photography is very price sensitive, even for the bigger companies and it's still a very deflated market!

The CAA regulations don't come in force for anything under 6kg as far as we are aware. We also don't fly above 450ft. It is something we are looking at closely though to make sure we are legal.
 
I've been moved from business!
I doubt I'll get an answer to my question on pricing Aerial photo's here.:sulk:
