Joint Base Mdl, NJ Aerial Videography

Shoots in the communities around the base typically run $1,100 to $2,700. A residential listing in Browns Mills, Wrightstown, or Cookstown runs about $1,100 for an MLS-ready edit. A contractor or business piece along Route 68 or Lakehurst Road with interior and exterior coverage lands at $1,700 to $2,100. Realtor and relocation content serving incoming military families — multiple property montages — typically runs $2,200 to $2,700. Flat pricing, FAA paperwork, LAANC where required, and commercial insurance are all included in the quoted number.

Short answer: the base itself is restricted airspace and we do not fly there. Commercial flights in the surrounding civilian communities require a Part 107 certificate and, in the controlled airspace immediately adjacent to the base, LAANC authorization or prior coordination. FPV NYC files all Part 107 paperwork, checks active TFRs and NOTAMs issued for base operations before every shoot, and carries commercial insurance. We also build in buffer distance from the installation’s boundary so there is no ambiguity about where we are operating.

Yes. We shoot listings throughout the off-base communities: Wrightstown, Cookstown, Browns Mills, Pemberton, Georgetown, and the newer developments catering to incoming service members. Relocation and PCS-friendly listings get full cinema context — commute lines toward the base gate, school proximity, and neighborhood character — plus an FPV interior walk that gives remote buyers a real sense of the house. Military-family realtors often bundle multiple properties in one visit; we can batch three or four homes in a single day for cost efficiency.

Late April through June gives the cleanest skies over the pine-barren corridor that runs through the region, with enough green on the hardwoods to balance the evergreen backdrop. Mid-October delivers the most dramatic color palette — the oak pockets inside the pines turn bronze, which looks terrific against the flat scale of the landscape. Summer afternoons can be hazy and thermals kick up over the sandy soil, so we lean on sunrise shoots. Winter mornings are sharp and clear when the wind is low.

Real estate listings get an MLS-ready edit within five business days, with a vertical social cut the evening of the shoot. Contractor and relocation brand pieces with a narrative arc typically run seven to ten days. Because PCS timelines can be tight, we run rush workflows often — 36-to-48-hour delivery is available when a service member needs a quick-look property video before orders change. Same-day social snippets are included on every shoot.
