Award-winning, FAA Safety Certified Drone Pilots Who Serve in the St. Louis Area

Drone video of indoor and outdoor clips by our FAA certified pilots

To add to your brand, you want the most impressive video drone shots. Our Creative Video Team consists of a group of FAA Certified Drone Pilots in St. Louis, plus additional pilots certified by the FAA throughout the Midwest. We can make your next video project truly unique.

The St. Louis group providing drone video has developed top-notch video footage for BJC, Boeing, Nestle Purina, AB-InBev, Ameren, and a host of commercial real estate firms and film producers.

It is our belief that the quality of a project can be greatly improved by the addition of drone footage. Hence, we strongly suggest that our clients incorporate drone video into their creative work.

If you’re in need of a drone-related video, whether it be for marketing purposes, aerial photography, or simply for editing your footage, our drone specialists have all your bases covered.

Filming Inside Using a Drone

It is possible to use drone imagery to generate unique footage even within interior spaces!

For the AB InBev construction project our creative drone team two different drones to acquire shots not easily achievable by most pilots and crews.  As project proceeded we also had safety spotters communicating with phones in real time so we could shoot closer to the large cranes on site.  We also had some high winds with bad weather, but were able to continue to fly as the drone was able to begin with a dramatic pan across the construction site then hone in on a single load lift. Moreover, the drone was able to capture the shots better and safely with the added safety spotters on site with the drone pilot.

Events Captured through Drone Videography

Capturing events with drone video is essential for showcasing their significance. We’ve shot for many special events, ground breakings, grand opening ceremonies and construction topping out celebrations.

For Alberici our team took footage of the large American Flag being raised with the last steel beam for placement.  We were able to add the crowd in the background that had gathered for the occasion, adding to the atmosphere of the video.

Documentarians utilized drone footage to illustrate a more comprehensive story of events.  We’ve shot stories for Cahokia Mounds, national events for

St. Louis and multiple company histories with local landmarks in the shots.  With unique camera movements the footage promptly conveyed that something extraordinary was about to take place.

Capturing Visuals with Drone Technology for Multiple Platforms

Our drone crews all started with shooting ground stills and video.  We have the capacity to grasp the creative and scientific requirements of our customer’s projects when it comes to aerial photography and videography.

Our team thoroughly examines all possible applications of the project, such as print, video, social media, web, and/or TV. Our primary objective is to ensure our customers have a collection of material they can reuse for any future platform. In order to maximize efficiency, we always put emphasis on shooting correctly the first time.

Aerial FLIR Thermal Building Inspections | Investigate Roof Leak Problems

Drones make roof inspections safer, faster, and more efficient by reducing the need for dangerous treks up and across rooftops. Drones equipped with thermal and visible cameras can more easily track down moisture under roof membranes or find indications of missing or damaged insulation.

This allows the roofer or roof inspector to determine which sections are performing well, and which need further investigation. They may still need to get up on the roof and use traditional (often destructive) test methods to quantify the extent of a problem, but the overall time needed from initial scan to diagnosis is greatly reduced.

Adding thermal imaging cameras to drones allows inspectors to scan large areas for moisture trapped underneath roof membranes, and look for the effects of structural issues such as missing insulation. The presence of water and the absence of insulation can both cause changes to the surface temperature of the roof. The thermal camera detects this temperature difference and displays it as colors—for example, dark tones indicating cold moisture or light tones indicating heat escaping through the uninsulated roof. Finally, the camera does not require visible light, so flights can take place at night or in areas that are shadowed.

FLIR, an industry leader in thermal imaging cameras, manufactures several types of thermal cameras that are both drone-agnostic and plug-and-play with systems made by DJI Innovations. Our gear will help you find potential leakage issues in your building.

Building owners and inspectors practicing commercial drone inspections can recoup the cost fairly quickly.

Aerial video of downtown St Louis Arch.

Aerial photography is a great way to capture your audience’s attention. The first 10 to 15 seconds of each video should be the make or break period. By using an unusual perspective (like aerial videos or aerial photography) to draw them in for the beginning of the video.

St Louis drones visual and data documentation for demolition of buildings and structures.

Drone Use in Demolitions

Drones have become an innovative technology in the demolition industry due to their ability to monitor demolition sites, collect data, take photos, and send the data to project managers.

Beyond aerial imagery, implementing drone technology is now used throughout the entire demolition lifecycle: initial site surveys, estimating costs, delivering volumetric measurements, identifying layout accuracy, and more.

Drones, airplanes and helicopters st louis aerial photographers

Our UAV’s are capable of viewing difficult to reach locations that can be considered expensive, dangerous, or even impossible to approach by manned inspection teams.

We shoot with drones, airplanes and helicopters depending upon what you actually need from your aerial imagery.

Aerial photography has been a part of real estate marketing for a long time; however, these views have traditionally been captured from helicopters and have been reserved for only the most expensive listings. Drones have significantly reduced the cost of aerial photography and has made its beautiful output affordable to all.

Drone photos and videos are perfect for capturing everything going on at a construction site, from big machinery to indoor facilities to all the hard work that goes on from start to finish.  They love us on the job site. We can document construction through all its phases from the air, ground and dedicated timelapse boxes we install, powered by the sun, and streaming live to your private account for monitoring. Nothing like watching an entire year of sweat, blood and tears rise up from the ground in 30 seconds. We offer interior, exterior and aerial photography and video coverage for projects of all sizes and construction timelines.

Drones can play a part at all the stages of the insurance documentation lifecycle. They can be used to gather data before a risk is insured, to help in preventative maintenance, and to assess damage after an event. While there can be cost savings in using drones instead of a workforce, there are other benefits:

st louis drones insurance documentation

* Images of the property to be insured can be obtained prior to providing cover.
* Claims assessors’ safety is improved, and they can complete their work quicker when using a drone to inspect a building.
* In case of a disaster or catastrophe, a drone can provide feedback on the extent of the damage long before the site is safe or accessible.
* Turnaround time on claims can be reduced.

Risk management will become increasingly predictive rather than reactive. Drones can be used to quantify risk and design mitigations, something that is especially needed by reinsurers in these times of climate change and the extreme weather it generates. Preventative maintenance will still be carried out by field workers, but they will be spared the risks of working at height and exposure to toxic gases and radiation by using a drone to perform the inspection.
