Drone photography in Australia, questions

Aerial stills of a property, site or event, edited and delivered in the resolutions you need. A typical gig covers a defined location and a set number of final images. Confirm that the freelancer holds the appropriate CASA accreditation for commercial flying, since that is a legal requirement here.

Yes. Flying a drone for business purposes requires accreditation with CASA, and depending on the drone's weight and the operation, either an operator accreditation or a remote pilot licence under a certified operator. Ask for their credentials before booking. Using an unaccredited operator puts the risk on you.

Not near airports or helicopter landing sites, not above 120 metres, not over people who are not part of the operation, and within visual line of sight. Many areas have further restrictions, including national parks and some council land. A good operator checks airspace and permissions before the booking, not on the day.

Wind is the usual problem, more than rain. Most consumer and prosumer drones cannot fly safely above roughly 30 to 40 km/h, so bookings get postponed. Agree the rescheduling terms up front, particularly for time-sensitive work like a property listing with a launch date.

Showing context that ground photography cannot: property boundaries and land size, proximity to a beach or park, the scale of a site, roof and solar inspections, and progress on a construction job. For real estate especially, one aerial establishing shot often does more than several ground shots.

Usually 3 to 8 for a property listing: an establishing shot showing the home in its setting, a boundary shot, and a couple showing proximity to local features. Aerials work best as context alongside ground photography rather than as the whole set.

Not generally for flying over your own property at a reasonable height, but privacy matters and complaints are common. A considerate operator frames to avoid neighbouring windows and yards, and will tell you when a shot is not appropriate. For commercial sites, check the landowner's requirements too.

In Australia, aerial stills as an add-on to a property shoot typically run $150 to $350. A standalone booking commonly runs $350 to $800 depending on travel and the number of images. Complex sites, construction progress work and anything needing additional approvals sit higher.

Ask for their CASA accreditation and their insurance, and treat any hesitation as a reason to move on. Look at whether their aerials are composed deliberately rather than just high. An operator who checks airspace before quoting is one who will turn up able to fly.

Post a drone photography gig in 60 seconds. Describe the work, set your budget and timeframe, and choose whether it is time-based or outcome-based. Local freelancers send a bid with a quote, you compare their profiles, portfolios and reviews, then pick the one that fits. Posting is free, so you only pay for the work.

Every gig runs on a payment schedule you both agree on up front, and every payment is held securely through Stripe. On an outcome-based gig you fund each stage before the work starts and it is released once you sign off. On a time-based gig you are charged for each month as it starts, and it is released to your freelancer once that month has been worked. No chasing invoices, and no paying for work that is not done.
