 July 4th family cookout. Great aerial videos of folks on the water jet skiing and paddleboarding, great shots of the waterfront property, and a very great group photo! I highly recommend Aerial17 for any events or if you just want to get drone shots of your property. The owner is great to work with.

 I hired Rick of Aerial 17 to capture drone footage of a commercial property in Elizabeth City. The images came out fantastic and were exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely recommend anyone looking for a great pilot to give Rick at Aerial 17 a call. I plan on using him again for work in the future.  Jerry

 "Working with Rick has been an incredible experience! Not only did he deliver stunning photos that perfectly captured our vision, but he also went above and beyond by accommodating an extra favor we asked of him, including a special trip to Lowe's. His professionalism, punctuality, and dedication to his craft are truly commendable. The pictures are great, the work is awesome, and he is simply outstanding. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend his services! ---Destini - Transaction Coordinator with Cinch Home Buyers"

Drone Orthophoto Map and 3D Model Generation

Drone Orthophoto Mapping and 3D Model Generation use aerial drone imagery that is 'stitched' together digitally, and is corrected in relationship to the earth's surface, allowing for precise measurements on images transposed on maps such as Google Maps. However, these drone images are generally produced in higher resolution offering very close detail.

This process may be repeated or scheduled as desired by the contractor, to record progress during different construction or work phases.

This process can be valuable to private or commercial construction.

Maps with sufficient detail may be rendered to produce 3D models.

Property damage insurance investigation and claims processing for storm and other damage can be expedited using drone photography. 

This type of survey is quicker and safer, providing results in less than an hour from the time the pilot arrives on scene to begin documentation.
