The fleet

An ever-growing fleet, built for the job.

At Aerial Agents, we pride ourselves on staying “on top” of this cutting-edge drone technology. We fly an ever-growing fleet, matched to the unique nature of each job — from agile aircraft for tighter sites, to larger machines built for professional cinema payloads, to caged-propeller FPV for safe interior and high-speed fly-throughs.

  • Agile

    Photography & survey

    Quick to deploy for stills and tighter sites.

  • Heavy-lift

    Cinema payloads

    Larger machines built for professional aerial video.

  • Caged props

    FPV fly-throughs

    No exposed blades — safe for interior and high-speed moves.

Every machine carries professional, cinema-grade camera equipment — so the photos and video come back ready for major-media productions.

How we work

From the free consult to the final delivery.

  1. Consult

    Free consultation

    Every project starts with a free consultation. There's no one-size-fits-all, so we talk through the assignment, the location, and the shot you're after before anyone quotes a price.

  2. Survey

    Site survey

    Before the shoot we run a site survey to inform both sides of what a successful flight needs — logistics, technical, and creative solutions, plus the FAA compliance the location calls for.

  3. Clearance

    FAA authorization

    We handle all the necessary paperwork and secure the proper authorization to fly. Some locations need 7–10 days' advance notice, which is why we lock the date in early.

  4. Flight day

    We get the shot

    On site we clear and block off any areas that could cause issues and fly safely — our FPV drones use ducted propellers with no exposed blades. Every aircraft carries $1,000,000 in aviation liability insurance, and footage is captured in 4K.

  5. Delivery

    Edit & deliver

    After the shoot we handle the editing and color correction and deliver a polished, professional final product — stills and film ready to use.
