    Temple Drone Photography FAQs

    How much does drone photography cost in Temple, TX?

    $150–$400 per flight in Temple, 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 cover Belton and Killeen alongside Temple shoots?

    Yes. Temple, Belton, and Killeen sit inside a 20-mile triangle on I-35 — we batch all three on a single field day whenever scheduling allows. We currently document active commercial sites in Belton as a recurring engagement. Killeen / Harker Heights flights are routine; GRK airspace requires extra coordination but is workable.

    How fast can I get my Temple 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 Temple shoots are flown within 48–72 hours of the initial request.

    Are you FAA Part 107 certified?

    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.
