Drone & Video FAQ
Do you need a license for drone photography over houses?
Yes. All commercial drone operations require an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Our pilot, Dain Curtis, is fully Part 107 certified and carries commercial drone insurance for every flight. We follow all federal and local regulations for safe residential drone operations.
How high can a drone fly over a residential property?
Under FAA Part 107 rules, drones can fly up to 400 feet above ground level. For most real estate shoots, we operate between 50–200 feet to capture the best angles of the property, lot, and surrounding neighborhood.
What's included in a listing video?
Our listing videos include professionally edited cinematic footage of the property interior and exterior, aerial drone footage, music, text overlays with property details, and delivery in both horizontal (YouTube/MLS) and vertical (Instagram/TikTok) formats. Videos are 60–120 seconds depending on your package.
Can you fly drones near airports or restricted airspace?
We can operate in controlled airspace with proper LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) authorization. We check every shoot location in advance and obtain any required clearances before flight day. Most residential areas in Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan are in uncontrolled airspace.
What happens if weather cancels a drone shoot?
We reschedule at no additional cost. Drones cannot fly safely in rain, high winds (above 25 mph), or low visibility conditions. We monitor weather closely and will contact you in advance if rescheduling is needed.
Are your drone photographers legally licensed and insured to fly in Indiana and Michigan?
Yes! Lakeshore Listing Media is fully FAA Part 107 Certified for commercial drone operations. This means our flights are legally compliant, fully insured, and safe — protecting you and your brokerage from liability while capturing stunning aerial views of your property.
