About NearDrone
Family-owned.
Built to scale.
Obsessed with the shot.
NearDrone is a family-owned content studio with FAA Part 107 certified pilots and editors on the ground across Georgia and the Gulf Coast. We fly the drones, shoot the interiors, edit the video, and manage the social accounts — for real estate agents, STR operators, sports programs, and event producers.
Our Pilots & Operators
FAA Part 107 Certified · In the Field
Every shoot is handled by FAA Part 107 certified pilots with real experience across residential real estate, STR vacation rentals, and commercial properties. Our operators have flown everything from North Georgia mountain properties to Gulf Coast condos — and they know what angles actually work before the drone leaves the ground.
We scale crew to the project. A single-property listing shoot runs tight and efficient. A multi-property portfolio day or large-scale event gets the headcount it needs. Either way, the same quality standards apply.
Our Editors & Strategists
Post-Production · Social · Delivery
What happens after the shoot is what most clients never see — and where most operators cut corners. Our editing team takes raw drone footage and interior walkthroughs and turns them into content that stops the scroll on listing platforms, social feeds, and everywhere else it needs to perform.
For STR operators who need ongoing content, we also handle strategy: what to post, when to post it, and how to write captions that actually index on Instagram and Google. Not just pretty footage dropped in a folder.
What We Believe
"Most property photos are forgettable. Most drone footage is generic. We built NearDrone to fix that."
The problem we kept seeing: great properties with mediocre content. iPhone photos on Airbnb listings that could be any property anywhere. Real estate listings where the aerial shots looked like they were taken from a ladder. Sports programs with no footage to show recruits or sponsors.
Professional cinematic content shouldn't be out of reach for a local STR operator or a high school athletic program. That's the gap NearDrone fills — family-owned and operated, with the team and equipment to handle everything from a single condo shoot to an ongoing portfolio content contract.
What we bring to every shoot
FAA Part 107 Certified
Both operators hold FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificates — the required federal certification for commercial drone work in the US. We handle airspace authorization and LAANC approvals so you don't have to think about it.
4K Cinema-Grade Footage
We shoot 4K video and high-resolution stills on professional-grade camera systems. Every deliverable is edited and color-graded before it reaches you — not raw files dropped in a folder.
Fast Turnaround
Edited photo galleries in 24–48 hours. Full video edits in 3–5 business days. We know listing timelines are tight and that social content has a shelf life. We build our delivery schedules around that reality.
Three Market Locations
Based in Canton, GA, Tifton, GA, and Panama City Beach, FL. We know the light in each market, the airspace quirks, and the content that works for each audience. No out-of-town operator figuring it out on your dime.
