Professional Aerial Photography & Video — Victoria, BC

Yes — Transport Canada certified RPAS pilot (Basic Operations). All operations comply with Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) Part IX.

Insurance available per project on request.

Greater Victoria is included. We also cover Vancouver Island with travel fees outside the core zone. Ferries, paid access, permits, and parking are pass-through costs at cost.

Real estate and roof or property reports are often available within a few days. For tourism and larger projects, plan 1–2 weeks ahead when possible.

Safety comes first. If conditions aren’t safe or suitable (wind, rain, visibility), we reschedule. One weather reschedule is included; additional reschedules may have a fee.

Not everywhere. Some locations have airspace restrictions or require extra coordination. We do a pre-flight airspace check for every request and will confirm feasibility, or propose alternatives, before booking.

Usually yes — at minimum, a safe takeoff and landing area and clear property boundaries. For roof and property reports, we may also need access to the yard or driveway for the best angles.

Sometimes. Depending on the site and scope, we may request a visual observer or an on-site contact to support safe operations. We’ll confirm requirements in advance.

Pre-checks prevent most issues. If we can’t fly because of airspace, unsafe conditions, or lack of access, we’ll either reschedule or adjust the scope to what’s feasible. A minimum site fee of $75 applies if the flight is impossible for an avoidable reason (no access, wrong address, site not ready).

Twilight and blue-hour shoots may be possible when conditions and regulations allow. We’ll confirm feasibility for the location and date. Night flying is not offered.

We minimize overflight and avoid capturing identifiable individuals when it isn’t necessary. In busy areas, we’ll propose safer angles or times, or decline the flight if it can’t be done responsibly.

Submit the contact form with the address and service type. We’ll confirm feasibility, propose a time window, and send a booking confirmation and payment link if one is required.

You receive a non-exclusive license to use the final deliverables for web, social, MLS, and marketing for 3 years. Resale or transfer requires written permission. Raw footage is not included unless purchased. Paid ads, broadcast, or stock usage can be supported when requested, and may require specific licensing or an adjusted quote.

Optional add-on. Most clients prefer edited deliverables because they’re ready to publish.

We retain backups for a limited period. If you need longer-term archival storage, ask about an archival add-on.

Sometimes, depending on availability and daylight or weather. Twilight and blue-hour shoots are available as an add-on when combined with a day shoot.

MLS-ready and web-ready edited aerial photos, plus an edited highlight video when the package includes one. Exports are sized for MLS, with separate exports optimized for web and social.

Typically within 48 business hours after the shoot (weather permitting).

Yes. We can coordinate a same-day schedule with your photographer, or book Drone Victoria's vetted team for an interior and aerial bundle.

Simple text overlays are available as an option. On-camera agent intros and advanced motion graphics are not included unless quoted.

Yes. Neighbourhood B-roll — parks, ocean, and walkability context — is available as an add-on, subject to airspace and time.

Yes. If your brokerage has specific MLS size or compression requirements, send them and we’ll export accordingly.

No. This is visual documentation only. We provide high-resolution images and an annotated PDF report. We do not provide structural certification, engineering sign-off, code compliance certification, or repair recommendations as a licensed home inspector or engineer.

A detailed photo set, typically 20–25 images, plus a branded PDF report with labeled photos and an annotated findings table where it applies.

Homes, multi-unit buildings where feasible, garages and outbuildings, commercial roofs, and hard-to-reach exterior areas. Multi-structure or large sites can be quoted as a bundle.

Yes — this is a common use. We can focus on specific areas of concern and provide clear labeled documentation. Claim outcomes are determined by your insurer.

Visual checks only. There is no thermal or hotspot testing unless it is explicitly offered and quoted. For close-up documentation of panels, select the solar add-on.

Not as part of the standard report. Roof square footage, slopes, and similar measurement deliverables are a separate scope and may require additional tools or partners.

Yes, with your written confirmation.

Progress documentation for owners, investors, reporting, and marketing updates, so remote stakeholders can stay aligned without repeated site visits.

We use repeatable angles and altitudes and a consistent shot list, so changes are easy to compare.

A fixed-angle photo set, typically 12–20 images, and a short recap video of 45–60 seconds, delivered within 48 business hours.

Yes. Lot lines, phase markers, and arrows are an optional add-on. You provide the plan drawings or references if they’re needed.

Yes. It’s available as an add-on and scoped from the duration and number of visits. With the Progress Pack, the end-of-project timelapse is complimentary with 6 or more months of retention, or +$300 otherwise.

A Social Teaser is a fast, short promo for quick posting. A Destination Short is a more cinematic hero piece, with more editing time and a stronger story arc.

Yes. Promo edits use properly licensed music for commercial use. If you need ad-safe licensing for a specific platform, say so in advance.

Yes. Gimbal shots and walk-throughs are available as an add-on, or through a ground-video collaboration, depending on scope. Ground footage often makes a more cinematic result than aerial alone.

One light revision round. Additional revisions or major creative changes are billed.

Yes. Vertical cuts are an add-on on some packages and included on others. A Destination Short includes three 15-second vertical reels.

• Photos: high-quality JPG, and PNG if required.
• Video: MP4 (H.264 or H.265, depending on requirements).
• Reports: PDF for roof and property reports.

By a private download link. Long-term hosting is not included unless we agree to it.

Yes. Send logos, fonts, and colours with your request. Simple branding is straightforward. Complex motion design is quoted separately.

For ground-only photo/video work, we typically deliver those projects under Eventia Media. If you're booking a drone package, ground footage can be added when it improves the story.
