Manhattan, NY Aerial Videography

From the rooftops of SoHo to the skyline of Midtown, Manhattan is the most cinematic borough in the country — and our drone team brings serious aerial videography to the brands, properties, and productions that call it home. We capture everything from luxury real estate listings overlooking Central Park to commercial shoots along the Hudson, music videos on the Lower East Side, and architectural reels of FiDi towers. Headquartered in NYC with FAA-certified pilots and full Part 107 + 44809 coverage for the city’s controlled airspace, we handle the planning, the LAANC authorizations, and the shot list — so every frame works as hard as the story you’re trying to tell.

Drone Videography Services in Manhattan, NY

We fly two very different kinds of drones, and Manhattan is one of the few places where both shine. Our FPV drones are made for motion — chasing a yellow cab down Broadway, threading the Brooklyn Bridge cables, swooping through the Oculus, or diving past a Times Square billboard — the kind of one-take shots that make a brand reel feel alive. Our cinema drones are the opposite: stable, smooth, and color-graded for film, perfect for luxury Tribeca lofts, rooftop pool listings on the UES, or wide aerial establishing shots over Battery Park and the Financial District. We bring the right tool — and a licensed pilot — for whatever the shot needs.

Project pricing depends on what you need filmed and how long it takes. A single-property real estate aerial shoot in Manhattan typically starts around a $1500, while a full-day commercial production with FPV and cinema drones, multiple pilots, and edited deliverables scales from there. The fastest way to get an exact number is to send us your shot list — we’ll quote it the same day.

NYC parks require a separate Parks Department permit, and many filming locations need a Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcasting permit. We handle this entire coordination process and are fully Part 107 certified and insured.

Yes — we regularly shoot real estate aerials throughout Manhattan, from Tribeca and SoHo to the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Harlem, and the Financial District. Whether it’s a penthouse, a brownstone, or a commercial building, we capture the property and surrounding context in a way that helps listings stand out from the standard MLS photo set.

It depends on the look you want. Spring and fall give the most dramatic color around Central Park and the Hudson and East Rivers. Summer is great for golden-hour skyline shots and waterfront events. Winter offers crisp, clean compositions after a snowfall. We fly year-round and can advise on the best window for your specific shot list.

We’re based in NYC and travel throughout NY, NJ, PA, and CT. Manhattan is our home base, but we also work across Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester, northern New Jersey, and the broader tri-state area. If you have a project anywhere in the region, just reach out.
