DRONE SERVICES IN ST. PETERSBURG

Drone services in St. Petersburg are dominated by two things: water and redevelopment. Almost every property of note is either on the bay, on the Gulf or within sight of one of them, and an aerial is the only way to show that relationship honestly. It is also why agents book our aerial real estate photography in St. Petersburg for bayfront, canal and beach listings. Meanwhile the 86 acre Historic Gas Plant District is entering a build out measured in decades, which is exactly the kind of project that needs a dated visual record from day one.

The airspace is more forgiving here than across the bay. St. Pete-Clearwater International is Class D with a 4.9 mile radius, Albert Whitted downtown is Class D, and both sit under Tampa Class B shelves rather than under Class B reaching the surface. Authorization is still usually required and we file it before the visit.

We have flown inspection work in this market before, including the Tropicana Field roof. We are based in Sebring, a little over two hours east, and we cover Pinellas County as a whole rather than just the city line. Waterfront listings are usually booked as real estate drone photography, and roof and structure work as drone inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about Pinellas airspace, coastal conditions, turnaround and cost. Send us the address and we will confirm what is flyable before you book.

Yes. St. Pete-Clearwater International and Albert Whitted are both Class D, and Tampa Class B shelves sit overhead rather than reaching the surface, so most of the city is workable with an authorization filed in advance. We handle that as part of the booking.
Yes. Our portfolio includes aerial inspection work at Tropicana Field, along with waterfront and commercial property across Pinellas County.
Yes, and it is most of what we do here. Aerials are the only way to show dock access, seawall condition, beach frontage and the actual distance to the water rather than describing it in a listing.
More than airspace does. Gulf and bay sites can be flyable in the morning and not by afternoon. We watch the forecast, book the calmer window and reschedule at no charge rather than producing soft images.
Sebring is a little over two hours east. That is a drive, not a travel charge, and it means we can be on site for morning light.
Yes, across the whole of Pinellas County including St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, Dunedin, Safety Harbor and Palm Harbor.
Yes. Long build outs are exactly where repeatable monthly flights pay off, because the value of the record grows with every visit. We save the flight path and repeat it so comparison is genuinely like for like.
Yes. FAA Part 107 certified remote pilots on registered aircraft, with liability coverage and certificates supplied on request before the first flight.
