F.A.Q.

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our services and the art of drone photography and videography.

There are lots of rules, regulations, and authorizations required to fly legally. We are FAA Part 107 Certified which allows us to fly in both restricted and non-restricted FAA air space.  Furthermore, for each operation, we check with the FAA to see if permission is needed to fly in your needed area and apply for that permission if necessary.  

There are also regulations on flying over vehicles and pedestrians, as well as rules on the size and weight of the drones beings used.  We adhere to all FAA Drone regulations and maintain constant training to keep our skills and knowledge up to date.

Aerial photography and videography can be useful for most any industry.  From time lapse videos and photgrammatry for construction sites, and cinematic realty showcasing commercial and residential buildings, to aerial surveillance and detection as additional security assets, drone-ography adds value to most any site, sale, or event.  

We do our best to keep our pricing upfront and simple.  Every job is different and we are always willing to find a solution for your needs.  

At Vanguard, we look at each operation and assign basic hourly requirements according to the complexity of the necessary skills and time.  

Please take a look at our Services section and see where we typically start with our pricing, and contact us with any questions.

We do our best to provide you high quality deliverables as fast as possible.  Time is money, and we understand that.  Turnaround will typically be 2-3 days depending on the complexity of the operation.  If you need a faster turnaround let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

Our current drone fleet cannot operate in rain, snow, or heavy winds, and that’s pretty typical of most drones.  The drones, and the attached cameras, just don’t work well in inclement weather.  So scheduling will always be determined by weather conditions.
