Drone videography rates
are determined based on the following factors:
*
  • Location - Based on FAA rules some locations are restricted or require special permission. Once the shoot location is specified any special rates will be explained and added to the normal rates
  • Type of video - 4K video requires more resources than 1080 HD and typically is not necessary. This will be discussed with the client
  • Hourly vs Flat Rate - Because of special preparation, logistics, and unknown events involved in a drone shoot sometimes a flat rate is more realistic. 
  • Weather Factors - A drone cannot smoothly fly a mission if the wind is over about 15 mph or if it is raining. Therefore any delay based on weather conditions is sometimes inevitable. No penalty for either the client or SRD will be assessed
  • Night Missions - The dramatic effect of a night mission is sometimes highly desirable but can be very dangerous to the drone. Precise programming before the flight is usually necessary so rates may be affected. 
  • Custom Setup Rate - Depending on the mission's special requirements e.g. programming, pre-flight testing, special equipment, hazards, etc. a predetermined and quoted cost may be necessary
  • Typical Hourly Rate - $150/hour
  • Typical Daily (8 hour) Rate - $1,000
  • Custom Rate - A custom discounted rate may be determined and quoted to the client. For a long term job that requires many missions and conditions a custom rate is usually quoted. Sometimes this category is used for a time + expenses type of agreement
  • Payment - Invoicing for the mission will be made by SRD within 5 days after the mission is completed. Payment in full is due within 5 days after invoicing.
  • Files - All video/still files will be turned over to the client within 5 days of the mission unless special requirements are discussed.
  • Editing - SRD is capable of editing clip files into a final video or slideshow based on the specifications of the client. Editing can be very involved and time consuming so a custom quote will be required
