Welcome to Northeast Drone Services, LLC

We are a premier aerial imaging and videography firm using professionally developed drone equipment and cutting-edge digital editing technology. This is an emerging and exciting technology platform that we have been working with over recent years. We are able to provide our clients with premium quality photography and video media for a variety of target markets. We provide our services employing equipment known in the industry as a UAV/UAS (unmanned automated vehicle/system) or more commonly known as a drone.

Before drone technology evolved, you would need to spend an exorbitant amount time and money to obtain aerial images via plane or helicopter for real estate use, land development, construction progress, visual inspections and aerial surveying. With the evolution of sophisticated digital technology combined with advanced micro-propulsion systems, what was once costly and typically impossible to achieve, can now be provided at an affordable cost and within a reasonable timeframe. 

NEDRONESERV is based in Connecticut, but serves the Northeast region of the United States. We work in urban, suburban, rural and coastline environments. We will travel to your location to get the results you desire, so just ask us.

It’s easy to get started. Review our image gallery, browse our service markets, then just send us an email or give us a call. Our team will explain the process, and provide you with a reasonable and competitive cost proposal. Before long, you will have high-resolution, simply unique images and videography that will provide results like never before for your business or personal needs. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions

Click on the question to learn more.
What is a UAV or drone?
A drone or UAV (Unmanned Automated Vehicle) is a compact, remote controlled flight system that is able to maintain some level of autonomous flight, and carries imaging equipment capable of still and video media.
What weather and environmental restrictions can affect ascheduled drone flight session?
Sunny days tend to provide the best images employing the use of natural day light. Some overcast days are preferred for non-shadow image collection. Rain, wind, snow and extreme heat/cold prevent flight sessions for equipment and safe flight operations.
Typically, our certified drone staff can fly on most days, unless there are wind conditions or any type of precipitation or moisture such as mist or rain. Fog also prevents safe flight operations under Federal Regulations. Poor weather conditions will require rescheduling of your planned shoot session subject to weather and available shoot sessions.
Do I need to be there for a scheduled drone flight session?
You do not need to be present for a scheduled drone flight session. You are welcome to observe, as long as all observers follow the required instructions by our certified drone staff. If representation is required by the Client on a particular property or shoot location, that is entirely up to you.
What are the safety issues for a scheduled drone flight session?
Our certified drone staff only should be present and managing the project. Weather can impact a drone shoot and should be carefully monitored. Any observers attending the shoot should stay away from
the area of filming as directed by our certified staff members. Never approach or touch a drone that is under operation. Please do not distract the shoot staff while operations are underway. Visual clearance and flight spacing are important factors depend ing on the flight parameters for the shoot session.
How high does the drone fly?
Drones are limited by Federal Regulations to not exceed 400 feet of flight. The typical flight will start at ground level and typically fly anywhere between ground level and 200 feet for optimal image options.
How does Pilot-in-Commandknow the altitude of the drone in flight?
The remote control equipment
and drone in-flight systems provide
the Pilot-in-Command with flight operations data, including speed, altitude and instrument data. Our professional equipment is fitted with the latest GPS technology along with sophisticated flight sensors.
How long is the session set-up time?
Setup and flight preparation takes on average between 15-30 minutes depending upon the complexity of the shoot session.
How long does the drone flight session last?
After pre-flight set-up at ground level, a shoot session on average can last anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Some shoot sessions can last up to an hour or longer depending
upon project scope and requirements, along with other factors such as natural daylight conditions. Battery changes are required for flight sessions lasting up to 30 minutes or longer.
