Your questions answered
Commonly Asked Questions About Drone Services in South Florida
Do I need authorization or a permit for drone filming in South Florida?
In most cases, drone filming for personal use does not require a permit or authorization. However, for commercial projects—such as real estate listings, events, or promotional content—FAA guidelines apply, and authorization or permits may be required depending on the location.
What type of drones do you use?
We use high-end, 4K-capable drones equipped with stabilized gimbals for ultra-smooth footage. Our fleet includes industry-standard models like the DJI Mavic Pro 3 and other professional-grade drones suited for everything from real estate to cinematic projects.
Each drone is chosen based on the specific needs of your shoot—whether it’s wide aerial views, tight interior fly-throughs, or detailed roof inspections.
Can you shoot at night or indoors?
Yes! We are certified to conduct nighttime operations under FAA Part 107 rules and use appropriate lighting and safety protocols to ensure high-quality nighttime footage.
How long does a typical shoot take?
For larger commercial jobs or multi-property shoots, we’ll provide a custom timeline in your proposal. We always work efficiently while making sure we capture the shots you need.
Can I request revisions to the footage?
Are you licensed and insured for commercial drone work?
Yes. SkyView Motions is FAA Part 107 certified and fully insured for commercial drone operations. This ensures compliance with all federal regulations and provides peace of mind for shoots on construction sites, private properties, or public venues.
What factors affect the price of drone videography?
- Location and travel distance
- Type of footage needed (video, photos, both)
- Duration of the shoot
- Any special requirements (editing, permits, multiple locations, etc.)
The more details you provide, the more accurate your quote will be.
How much does drone photography cost?
Drone services in South Florida start at $200 per hour.
Do you offer flat-rate packages or custom pricing?
We offer both. Flat-rate packages are available for common services like real estate listings and basic aerial photography. For larger or more complex projects—such as construction documentation, events, or cinematic shoots—we create a custom quote tailored to your needs.
Is there a deposit required to book my drone shoot?
Yes. Most projects require a 50% deposit to secure your shoot date. The remaining balance is due upon delivery of the final footage. We’ll include this in your quote so there are no surprises.
Are travel fees included in the quote?
For most jobs within Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and the surrounding South Florida area, travel is included. Projects outside our standard coverage zone may include a small travel fee, which will always be disclosed up front in your quote.
What’s included in your pricing?
Our pricing includes:
- Professional drone pilot and on-site crew (if needed)
- Pre-flight planning and FAA compliance
- High-resolution 4K video footage and/or aerial photography
- Basic post-production editing (color grading, trimming, stabilization)
- File delivery via cloud link or preferred platform
