AGL Drone Imagery provides professional aerial photography, video, mapping, and 3D documentation designed to turn aerial imagery into clear, decision-ready information. Depending on your project, we deliver edited photos, edited videos, scaled site visuals, 3D models, elevation visuals, and documentation packages that help you plan, verify conditions, and communicate clearly.
2) How is this different from hiring someone who just takes drone photos or videos?
Most operators deliver good-looking footage. AGL focuses on repeatable, precise capture and professional processing workflows that improve consistency and usefulness, especially for construction, agriculture, and post-storm documentation.
3) What areas do you serve?
AGL Drone Imagery proudly serves Camden, Elizabeth City, Pasquotank, Currituck, South Mills, Gates County, Moyock, the Outer Banks, and surrounding northeastern North Carolina. Travel beyond the included service area is available as outlined in the Pricing Guide.
4) How does pricing work, and why is it shown as a range?
Pricing is shown as a range because every site is different. Final pricing is based on property size, obstacles, flight complexity, time on site, and FAA airspace authorization requirements.
5) What video format will I receive—horizontal or vertical?
You choose the format based on how you plan to use it. Horizontal video is best for websites, YouTube, and standard Facebook posts. Vertical video is best for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook Reels.

Deliverables depend on the selected package and project goals and may include edited photos, edited video clips, cinematic videos, or advanced mapping deliverables. Raw photo and video files are available as optional add-ons.

Typical delivery timelines begin after the flight is completed. Photos and video clips are usually delivered within 5–7 business days. Cinematic videos typically take about 7 business days. Premium packages may take 7–10 business days.
8) What about FAA airspace authorization and scheduling?
Some locations require FAA airspace authorization before flight. Approvals can take up to three weeks, though many are completed within 5–10 business days. Flights are also weather-dependent.
