Straight answers to the questions agents, producers and property owners ask before booking a flight in Central and South-Central Texas. Detail on pricing, service areas, and booking.
Where do you fly in Texas?
All of Texas, with a focus on Central and South-Central: Caldwell, Gonzales, Goliad, Hays and Bastrop counties and the I-35 corridor (San Antonio, Austin and the ranch country in between). Film, TV and commercial productions travel statewide, and travel beyond 30 minutes of our home base is always quoted up front.
Do you have day rates for film, TV or commercial work?
Yes. Productions are scoped as day blocks — single-day and multi-day — that include gear, licensing and revisions. Send the shoot window and what the shot is for, and we build the quote around it.
What is included in a real estate media package?
A coordinated on-site session: professional ground photography plus a cinematic aerial video, color-graded and stabilized, with a property-boundary animation, lower-thirds, licensed soundtrack and an agent low-flyover. Twilight and timelapse are add-ons. Pricing is per property — acreage, structures and travel set the quote.
Are the pilots licensed, and is the company insured?
Yes to both. Every pilot is FAA Part 107 certified and Aerialcam Media is insured for each job. We plan safety first, and flights remain subject to weather and airspace authorization.
What is a property boundary overlay, and is it a legal survey?
It is a marketing graphic built from your maps or parcel information so a listing shows its extent at a glance. It is not a legal survey — for that, your surveyor covers it. Our overlays are designed to sell the acreage, not to replace the plat.
How fast can you be on site after I talk to you?
Typically within days for Central and South-Central Texas. We lock a weather-and-airspace-confirmed window together after the quote, and we rebook you before the next good window if conditions are off.
Do you handle airspace, authorizations and site access?
Yes. We prepare our FAA Part 107 launch package, request controlled-airspace authorizations where needed, and confirm site access ahead of the flight. One point of contact from inquiry to delivery.
What do I get after the flight, and how fast?
A delivery of curated high-resolution stills and a color-graded, story-edited video with licensed music and lower-thirds, sized for MLS, web, social and print. Most real estate packages ship in the 3-5 business day window we quote.
Do you fly at night, at events, or over water?
Night work, stadium lighting, event capture and coastal water (with a safety plan) are core strengths. If it can be captured and flown safely, we have probably done it before.
