The Efficient Capabilities of Drone Video
Drones are at that stage of societal acceptance in which they are still a curiosity that causes great excitement. Yet, they are seen as resources to provide lower-cost, high-efficiency services in several ways. Those include delivery, surveying and – especially relevant to CRE developers and owners – drone video marketing.
Drone video, which Connect CREative offers, provides vivid images of a property or development from close-in or high above. The drones are capable of reaching closer into properties than are helicopters, at much lower cost. They can take wide-angle shots, using cine lenses that change focal lengths.
So, these drone videos are able to take overhead shots of properties, can get inside to show the expanse of a large industrial floorplate, and detail the space of a lot and its surroundings. Being small and compact, the drones are easily transportable anywhere in the world, and allow Connect’s FAA certified drone operators to fly commercially, as the law requires.
Drone videos not only are an excellent tool for marketing available properties or showing off a portfolio, but brokers are also known to use them to win a listing from a seller. The videos are also used internationally. Connect has simply translated the voice-over for international investors.
Connect uses DJI Inspire Pro 1, Mavic Pro and Mavic Air drones that shoot at resolutions up to 4K. Depending on the drone, the video can shoot in ranges of two to four miles. These drones are built to be smart, and capture the best possible shot. They aren’t the typical toy drone you can pick up at your local discount store. They’re specially made for video purposes and to carry the weight of a high-quality camera.
Drone video shoots are also very quick, with most projects taking just one to two hours to shoot, not including time for planning.
The quick turnaround time to shoot these videos accommodates the speed with which today’s deals are done. And with their portability, Connect CREative has shot drone video in 30 of the 50 states.
