Capabilities
Three things a drone does well
Everything below is one of these three, aimed at a particular industry. The aircraft is the same; what changes is the flight plan and what you get back.
Aerial photography
Wide-angle stills from altitudes a ground camera cannot reach — full site layout, lot lines, roof condition, and how a property actually sits in its surroundings. Real estate photography — interior and aerial
Aerial videography
Cinematography that pulls a viewer into the space rather than just showing it. Delivered edited and graded, cut to the length and aspect ratio you need.
Mapping and modelling
Drone-generated maps, 3D models and immersive tours — built for measurement, inspection and progression reporting rather than for looking at.
By sector
Six kinds of work
Why it matters who is flying
Part 107 is the floor, not the qualification
A Part 107 certificate is the minimum legal requirement to fly commercially. Every operator you will compare us against holds one, which makes it close to worthless as a way of telling us apart.
Dragonfly Drones came out of private aviation and brought drone work into that model. The company is run by an airline transport pilot and certificated flight instructor — the highest certificate the FAA issues, and the rating required to teach it.
Flights get planned, briefed and flown with the discipline of a crewed operation: airspace checked, LAANC filed where required, weather and risk assessed before the aircraft leaves the case. More about the operation

Common questions
How is pricing worked out?
For recurring work it comes from two inputs: the square footage of the property or project, and how many periodic uploads you want. For one-time shoots it is quoted per project, driven by location, time on site and what you need delivered. Either way you get a real number, not a range.
How quickly can I get a quote?
Same day. Once we know the size of the project we send a quote report that day. Send the address and the acreage or square footage and that is enough to start.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Every pilot holds an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, and we carry insurance starting at a one million dollar policy. A certificate of insurance can be issued naming your company or the property owner as additional insured. What to check before hiring any drone operator
What is your service area?
Based in Austin, covering Central Texas directly — Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, San Marcos, New Braunfels and San Antonio. Beyond that we work with a network of pilots who can provide services anywhere in the United States, with capture specifications set by us so multi-site work comes back consistent.
How long until I get the files?
Edited stills from a standard shoot are typically back within two business days. Video depends on the edit. Orthomosaics and 3D models take longer because the imagery has to be processed and stitched, and larger sites take proportionally longer. If you have a hard deadline, say so up front and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
