Drone Photography & Videography - What is it and how to use it

Drone photography and videography are game changing tools for property marketing, offering dynamic visuals that showcase properties from stunning aerial views. Whether it’s a residential home, commercial building, or large estate, Click’s drone services provide breathtaking images and videos that highlight unique selling points and the surrounding area.

What is Drone Photography & Videography?

Drone services utilise aerial technology to capture high-resolution photos and videos from above, providing a perspective that traditional ground-level photography cannot achieve. These visuals enhance property listings by highlighting:

  • The property’s full layout and size.

  • Surrounding features like gardens, landscapes, or nearby amenities.

  • A sense of scale and context within its environment.

How Does it Work?

  1. Pre-Flight Planning

    • Our team assesses the property’s location to ensure compliance with airspace regulations and identify any potential restrictions.

Tip: You can check airspace restrictions yourself by using the Civil Aviation Authority’s Drone Assist app or visiting their website at www.caa.co.uk/drones.

  • We evaluate weather conditions, including wind speed, to schedule an optimal time for the shoot.

  • A safe take-off and landing zone is identified, typically requiring a flat, open area free of obstacles.

  1. On-Site Preparation

    • The pilot sets up and conducts pre-flight safety checks to ensure all equipment is functioning properly.

    • The surrounding area is secured to prevent interference during take-off and landing.

  2. Capturing Content

    • Using professional-grade drones, our pilots capture high-resolution aerial images and videos, focusing on the property’s key features and surroundings.

    • Multiple angles and flight paths are used to create dynamic and engaging visuals.

  3. Editing & Delivery

    • The footage is professionally edited to ensure clarity, consistency, and optimal presentation.

    • Finalised visuals are delivered within the agreed timeframe, ready for use across all marketing channels.

Common Questions

Are there any restrictions on where drones can be used?

Yes, drones must comply with Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations. Flights are restricted in areas with controlled airspace, such as near airports or military zones. Our team will check all regulatory requirements prior to the shoot.

What happens if the weather is unsuitable?

Drone operations depend on favourable weather conditions. High winds, rain, or poor visibility may delay the shoot. We closely monitor forecasts and will reschedule if necessary at no cost

How much space is needed for take-off and landing?

We require a safe, flat area free from obstacles and interference for take-off and landing. Typically, this area should be at least 5 metres square.

Can I request specific angles or shots?

Yes, you can provide a list of preferred shots at the time of booking. Our team will aim to accommodate your requests, depending on site conditions and regulations.

How long does it take to deliver the visuals?

Drone photos are delivered the next day, while drone videos are finalised and delivered within 24 hours after the shoot.

Important Considerations

  • Airspace Regulations: Compliance with CAA guidelines is mandatory to ensure safe and legal operations.

  • Weather Conditions: Wind and rain significantly affect drone performance. Scheduling flexibility is advised to account for changing weather.
