Drone photography in Richmond

Only with NAV CANADA's permission, and a given flight request can be refused. Canada's rules require an authorization, requested through NAV Drone, to fly in controlled airspace, and they add limits close to airports and heliports. YVR's controlled airspace covers much of Richmond, so we check your exact address before confirming. If the flight is refused, the drone charge is removed. The rules are summarised on drone photography.

Add them when you book, because each Richmond flight has to be checked and authorized before the shoot. Permission is requested for a specific flight and time, so aerials added late may not be possible on your chosen date. Booking them up front lets us confirm the airspace, and if the flight can't go ahead, the drone charge is removed. Start a booking.

A drone set shows the whole parcel, including lot lines, outbuildings, access and the neighbouring land, in a way ground photos can't. Much of Richmond's farmland is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, where the land itself is often what buyers are weighing. For big parcels, the larger aerial photo set, which the catalogue marks for larger lots and estates, or an aerial video gives fuller coverage. Pair it with Richmond photography.

A smaller aerial photo set usually suits a townhouse or standard lot, while an acreage calls for the larger set or aerial video. The catalogue offers aerial photo sets, aerial video, and video with photos, and the video products are banded by property size. Every option shows its price in the booking flow, and drone sets start at $175.99. Compare them on our prices page.

The drone charge is removed whenever we can't fly. If NAV CANADA refuses the flight, we tell you before the shoot. If high wind or rain grounds the aircraft on the day, we reschedule the aerial portion free rather than deliver poor footage, while interior and ground photos go ahead as planned. Details of changes and reshoots are in the booking policy.
