Professional Drone Services on Vancouver Island

I provide professional drone services across Vancouver Island for people who need clear, reliable aerial photos or video — captured safely, legally, and with proper planning.

Some projects are straightforward. Others are a little different. If you need eyes in the air to document something, check something, or get a better perspective than the ground allows, that’s where I can help.

I’m Transport Canada Advanced-certified, insured, and experienced in planning flights properly before a drone ever leaves the ground.

Common Uses for Professional Drone Services

This page covers general, one-off, or custom aerial work that doesn’t fall neatly into construction or business marketing.

Typical requests include:

  • aerial documentation or reference imagery

  • inspections or visual checks in hard-to-reach areas

  • property or site overviews

  • context shots for planning, reporting, or records

  • unique or short-notice projects where a drone makes sense

If a drone can safely replace a ladder, scaffolding, or guesswork, it’s usually worth the conversation.

Typical Pricing

Most general drone projects fit into one of the options below.

Aerial Photo Session
High-resolution aerial photos captured in a single visit
From $199

Aerial Photo + Video Session
Aerial photos plus short, stabilized 4K video clips
From $349

Hourly Drone Work
For inspections, documentation, or custom needs
$150 per hour (minimum 2 hours)

Pricing depends on location, airspace, access, and what needs to be captured. If something falls outside these examples, that’s discussed before anything is booked.

How I Work

I don’t just show up and wing it.

Every job starts with:

  • understanding what you need to see

  • checking airspace and location constraints

  • planning a safe, realistic flight window

If a location isn’t flyable or conditions aren’t appropriate, you’ll know upfront.

The goal is simple: get the visuals you need without unnecessary risk or disruption.

What You’ll Receive

Depending on the project, deliverables typically include:

  • high-resolution aerial photos

  • stabilized 4K video footage

  • clean, practical edits

  • straightforward digital delivery

No gimmicks. Just usable results.
