One of the most exciting developments in the field of photography is the drone. It is a high flying camera that enables capturing of unique viewpoints of properties for sale. Recently the cost of drone has dropped dramatically which is another reason behind its popularity. To this day, a drone is an important essential for the real estate agencies.
As with most modern technologies, there are a vast range of drones available in the market. Similar to camera, the drones are also categorised as per the quality of camera and the flying characteristics of the UAV itself. There are low cost models on sale too, that generally take very basic images. These kinds of drones may not be fit for the real estate marketing campaigns. The images usually appear blur if taken from a distance. For the best results, you must contact a real estate photographer who provides drone photography services.
The Ease of Capturing
Drones can be the biggest and easiest way to advertise a property over the Internet for sale. Just make sure that they are handled by professionals as they know how to take the images from perfect angles. Before you start your marketing campaign, determine the rules of photography in your area. However, drone photographers already know the standards of different places that come within their service area. The standards usually limit the maximum height of flying, and also how far away you can send the drone.
If you are handling the UAV on your own, make sure to start somewhere wide open, like a local park, and spend some time handling the unmanned vehicle as well as discerning the controls. Always be aware of the camera’s location. Because, as these cameras have a wide angle lens (20mm equivalent), it is easy to misjudge the position while getting closer to objects like trees and buildings.
Defining Rules & Regulations
- Drones must always be in the Line of Sight (LOS). Basically which means you should always be able to see the drone.
- They can go up to a height of 133 metres, which means 400 feet.
- Never fly a drone over any group of people.
- Respect others’ privacy.
- Don’t even try to fly the drones anywhere near airports or other no-fly zones as specified in your area.
Drones are the best way of capturing images of a property on sale and letting the buyers view their dream homes from a bird’s eye view.
