We’ve compiled this list of the best drone accessories to help you know what to bring along on your next real estate photography session.
There was a recent question posted on PFRE’s Community page that I’d like to put out to all of you as I think it’s very relevant to our industry: “I have a home that needs aerial photos and would like a nice sunny exposure on the front, but the sun is only on the front […]
Lonnie from Detroit, MI writes: “I want to share some data with my clients on the value that video and aerial work can deliver for their listings. I already use the sources that I’ve gotten from PFRE on the impact that real estate photography can have for an agent. I’m wondering if there’s similar info […]
I’ve been using drones in my real estate photography business for a few years now and I’ve always been amazed at both the capabilities of these devices, and the speed at which new advances are made.

While I personally don't shoot aerials, my husband is a certified drone pilot. It doesn't happen frequently living in a rural area but occasionally he finds himself having to do […]
Over the years, we've pointed out how important it is to be able to shoot at an elevated point of view when shooting the front exterior shot. Before the advent of drones, the standard way to get your camera elevated was a pole. You could either put your main camera on the pole or use […]
Rom in New Jersey asks: I am seeing a few posts around which Drone is best for real estate photography but I have not seen yet any posts around the best settings for the camera for stills and videos. I bought a DJI Phantom 4 pro V2, passed the part 107 and still need to […]
Peter in California says: Grant Johnston, who advertises on your blog, had a good question on his own Video blog.
