On-Demand Aerial Photos

One of our most popular services offered with Avium Oculus is our on-demand aerial photos for real estate listings. Many agents already have a reliable photographer, but a photographer with access to drone equipment is harder to come by. Aerial photos also offer a unique perspective that can accelerate the sale of a home more than traditional photos can by showing the land it occupies in high definition.

In partnership with Debbie and Mark McCormick — two Berkshire Hathaway agents in the Triangle area — we took photos of new listings with 24 hour turn around time. My partner Kyle and I used a Phantom 4 Pro V2 to take the shots, and edited them in Adobe Lightroom. We also used Pixelmator (a Mac-based graphic design sooftware) to add titles to the photos to clarify nearby points of interest.

I was in charge of flying the drone, editing the photos, and invoicing our clients. Many of the properties we shot were in wooded areas which required careful navigation of the drone around obstacles to capture the optimal shots. We have done over a dozen shoots with Berkshire Hathaway, with an average time to purchase agreement of under a week. See the gallery below for a few more examples of our aerial photos.
