What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our scheduled flight?

Safety is our top priority. We cannot fly in high winds, rain, or other adverse weather conditions. If we have to postpone due to weather, we will work with you to reschedule for the next available date at no additional cost.

Are there any restrictions on where you can fly?

Yes, we must comply with all FAA regulations, which include restrictions on flying in certain airspace, such as near airports, military bases, or over large crowds of people without a waiver. We will conduct a pre-flight assessment to ensure we can operate safely and legally at your location.

How can drone photography help my real estate listing?

Aerial photos and videos provide a unique perspective that showcases a property's best features, its layout, and the surrounding neighborhood. Listings with professional aerial imagery often attract more attention, sell faster, and can command higher prices.

Can you film events indoors?

Absolutely. In addition to our aerial services, Apex Rotors offers professional ground-based photography and videography for both indoor and outdoor events. While indoor drone flights may be possible in certain venues, such as large warehouses or event halls with high ceilings, most indoor coverage is captured using our handheld camera equipment to ensure safety and high-quality results. Contact us to discuss your event, and we'll recommend the best approach for your location and vision.

How and when will I receive my final photos and videos?

Turnaround time varies by project, but is typically between 7-10 business days. Your high-resolution images and/or professionally edited videos will be delivered to you via a secure digital download link.

Can I request specific shots or angles?

Yes! We encourage collaboration. During our pre-project consultation, we will discuss your vision and any specific shots you have in mind to ensure we capture exactly what you need.

How long does a typical shoot take?


Project length depends on the scope of work. Small real estate shoots can take 30–60 minutes, while larger events or construction projects may take several hours or recurring sessions. We’ll always outline the expected timeline during the booking process.

Do I need to prepare anything before the shoot?


For real estate shoots, we recommend tidying and staging the property for the best results. For events, having a schedule or shot list helps us capture key moments. We’ll provide guidance ahead of time so everything runs smoothly.

Do you offer photo and video packages together?


Yes. We offer combined photo and video packages for real estate, events, and commercial projects. Bundling services is often the most cost-effective option and ensures consistent coverage across your project.
