For the earlier time, the only way to produce any aerial video or shot would be to rent a full sized helicopter and a licensed pilot for your shoot. After you get that all squared away, you would have to log your flight plans with\u00a0the FAA, as well as the city that you\u2019re shooting in, as well as acquire all of the proper permits in order to shoot your aerial footage.<\/p>\n

A Side note, the FAA has recently released an app for your smartphone, called\u00a0B4UFLY, that is to be used by drone videographers and hobbyists alike, to see if there are any aircraft restrictions within the area you are looking to fly in.<\/p>\n

Plus, as we all know, weather doesn\u2019t always cooperate, so that makes the shoot days very inflexible. As you can imagine, all of this makes for quite the headache when it comes to producing a video, on top of trying to manage the super expensive shoot.<\/p>\n

Below, we will take a look at the top 5 reasons your business should consider using drone videos for your next\u00a0corporate video production.<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Price<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whether you know it or not, too professionally produce a business video usually isn\u2019t cheap, but is an important investment to your brand\u2019s identity. They are able to provide an unparalleled value – in terms of your marketing ROI – for the money that is spent on it. With such high amounts of possible uses, video content provides versatility in its ability to reach potential clients in a way that no other marketing tool can.<\/p>\n

The best thing about drones is that with a little bit of planning, you will be able to capture all of your footage on the same day as the rest of your production, which will save you time, money and a headache from organizing all you would need to get the aerial shots you want. And who doesn\u2019t like to save time and money?<\/p>\n

2. Full HD Quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As drone and video technology have improved over the course of time, they are now capable of producing amazing aerial films that are captured in 4k – like the camera that we offer here with our\u00a0drone services. The fact that there are more gimbals – professional 3-axis stabilization systems – that are about to hit the market means that there are more opportunities to use a wider variety of cameras with the drones. This allows\u00a0aerial filming companies<\/a> to have the ability to swap out different cameras, depending on the type of footage you are looking to capture.<\/p>\n

3. Video Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Currently, many people see the use of drones with TV and film production, from music videos to newscasts. But there are many other areas that could truly benefit from the use of drones<\/a>. Industries such as realtors, property management and development, event coverage, tourism and sports training can all benefit from the use of aerial footage.<\/p>\n

Aerial video can also provide a distinctive view of a place, location or event. It is ideal for showing a completely diverse vantage point of the business and\/or service through a bird\u2019s eye point-of-view. Any company that can enhance their overall appeal by using aerial video should be assured that you will attract and maintain your customer\u2019s attention, which should result in an enhance in your future sales.<\/p>\n

4. Save Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

But even though they are very versatile, you still needed to invest a ton of time to prepare the site and all of the staff in order to manage the whole process and ensure the safety of everyone involved. With a drone team, you don\u2019t run into those issues anymore due to the fact that you use a much smaller team – usually just a drone operator and someone to operate the camera at the very least. What this means is that as soon as you arrive at the site, you can be up and flying around in about 5 minutes time, assuming that the entire site surveys and risk assessments have already been taken care of ahead of time.<\/p>\n
