FAQ’s

How do you set your pricing?

Our pricing for mapping missions consists of multiple factors: size of map, drone flight time, level of accuracy, and type of deliverable needed.

What is the difference between a map and single images?

Unlike a regular photo, an orthomosaic image is a series of images taken and geometrically corrected to be scale and uniform, which can be used to measure true distances since it is an exact representation of the earth’s surface.

Are there any special licenses or permits that have to be acquired for shooting at my location?

During the preflight planning process, we research your job location to see if there are any flight restrictions. If the location is in controlled airspace, we will request an authorization with the FAA for your flight.
