Drone Photography Services in Brooklyn

Aerial photos and video show a property in its context: the roof, the lot, the block, and the view. ScanBid NY lets you post what you need captured and receive bids from FAA-licensed drone pilots who already fly in your part of New York, including the paperwork that controlled airspace around the city requires. Vendors on ScanBid NY already work in Brooklyn, so bids reflect local access, parking, and scheduling rather than travel from elsewhere.

What a drone job produces

A typical job delivers high-resolution stills from several heights and angles, short video clips or an edited aerial tour, and, when asked, roof close-ups for inspection or an orthomosaic of the site. Files arrive as edited JPEGs and MP4s; raw files and mapping outputs are available on request.

Flying in New York City airspace

Much of Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx sits in controlled airspace near LaGuardia and JFK, and the city has its own rules on takeoff and landing. Licensed pilots handle the LAANC authorization and any permit, and they will tell you up front if a location cannot be flown. Rockland County is mostly uncontrolled airspace, which makes scheduling simpler.

Roofs, facades, and construction progress

Beyond marketing, drones are the quickest way to document a roof after a storm, check a facade without scaffolding, or record monthly progress on a construction site from the same vantage points. Pair a drone flight with a laser scan when you need both the measurable model and the overhead view.

What to ask every bidder

Ask for the pilot's FAA Part 107 certificate, proof of insurance, examples from similar properties, and whether airspace authorization is included in the price. For roof inspections, ask for the camera resolution and how close the pilot can safely fly.

Who posts this kind of job

  • Agents and developers marketing a property or a new building
  • Owners and managers documenting a roof or facade
  • Contractors recording construction progress
  • Insurance adjusters and attorneys documenting a claim
  • Surveyors and engineers needing an overhead reference

Typical turnaround

Most flights take under an hour on site once airspace authorization is in place, with edited photos and video delivered within one to three business days.

How posting works here

Post the address, what you want captured (marketing, roof, site, or progress), and when you need it. Licensed pilots in your area submit bids with sample work, deliverables, and price. Posting is free and you are never obligated to hire.
