    Plano Drone Photography FAQs

    How much does drone photography cost in Plano, TX?

    $150–$400 per flight in Plano, depending on site size and deliverables. Residential listings sit near the lower end; commercial sites, twilight shoots, and orthomosaic mapping push toward the top. Recurring construction monitoring is billed as a monthly retainer with the time-lapse compile included.

    Do you shoot luxury residential listings in West Plano?

    Yes — West Plano luxury is one of our most common Plano shoot types. We deliver NTREIS-ready branded and unbranded files (1920×1080 stills, 1080p MP4 video tours) and offer twilight or golden-hour scheduling for properties where lighting carries the listing.

    How fast can I get my Plano drone photos and video?

    Standard turnaround is 48 hours for edited photos and 72 hours for 4K video, delivered through a shared Google Drive folder. Rush (24h photo / 48h video) is available for tight listing windows. Most Plano shoots are flown within 48–72 hours of the initial request.

    Yes. Texas Drone Media is owner-operated by Cade Bertel, who holds an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Liability insurance is in place for every flight, operations stay below 400 ft AGL, and LAANC authorizations are filed in advance for any shoot inside controlled airspace.
