Story, lighting, composition
The camera,
400 feet up.
Smooth, cinematic 4K aerial footage for brand films, commercials, and high-end real estate listings, shot by the DFW aerial videography team that understands story, lighting, and composition.
Aerial cinematography is a core part of our video production services, not a bolt-on. The same eye that frames an executive interview frames your establishing shot, so the aerials cut cleanly into the film they belong to.

03 / Drone inspections
Commercial inspections across Texas
Look close.
Stay grounded.
Safe, efficient aerial inspections that eliminate the need for scaffolding, lifts, or risking worker safety.
High-resolution imagery for roof inspections, utility towers, and infrastructure across Texas. Teams call us when they need to mitigate risk, reduce costs, and get accurate visual data without putting a crew at height.
One flight replaces days of access equipment. Your facilities stay open, your people stay on the ground, and the record you keep is sharper than anything shot from a lift.
Deliverables: high-resolution inspection photos and detailed reports. Thermal, LiDAR, and 3D capture available.
Inspection capabilities
- Roof and building envelope
- HVAC and rooftop equipment
- Cell towers and communications infrastructure
- Solar panel arrays
- Parking lots and facilities
- Structural assessments
Cell tower drone inspections in DFW
We inspect cell towers and communications infrastructure across Dallas-Fort Worth and the rest of Texas: antennas, mounts, and structural steel documented in sharp detail without sending a climber up the tower. Downtime stays low, and your crew stays on the ground.
Every tower flight runs under FAA Part 107 with airspace authorization handled in planning. You receive organized photo sets and a detailed report your engineers can act on.
04 / Mapping & surveying
Data you can build on
Maps, models,
measurements.
Accurate topographic maps, 3D models, and orthomosaic maps for engineering, construction, and land management, processed in Pix4D and DroneDeploy.
From groundbreaking to topping-off, our construction drone services keep DFW projects on schedule and stakeholders informed: progress monitoring, 2D and 3D aerial mapping, and high-resolution drone photography for construction.
Weekly or monthly flyovers become a time-lapse sequence and a full project archive, useful for investor updates and project marketing alike.
Deliverables: CAD files, orthomosaic maps, 3D models, and volumetric data.
Topographic surveys
Topographic surveys and contour maps that feed directly into site planning and design.
Volumetric measurements
Stockpile calculations and volumetric data captured from the air, without slowing the site down.
3D modeling & photogrammetry
Orthomosaic maps and 3D models accurate enough for engineering, delivered as files your CAD software reads.
