Full Drone Real Estate Photography Course (Photo & Video!)

[@Baleur]

I have no idea who you are, 2 minutes into the video. But the fact you're one of the few who actually spend the time to put together a 2 hour video course for free, shows me one thing. That you've been successful enough with your ACTUAL drone / photography work, that you dont NEED to worry about the lost course revenue. One must ask themselves, do these other people mainly make money through their courses, or through actually preforming the work? I'd rather be taught by someone actually supporting themselves via the work, not the courses. It's the same thing as, would you rather take engineering advice from someone who's actively building a car right now, or someone that's been stuck in a lecture hall for the past 10 years teaching something they havent actually done in over a decade?

[@sirpetexcvi]

You are a hero for giving free advice and guides for people who are starting fresh. ❤

[@ousseynoufall3371]

A starter like me. I just discovered him. Thanks a lot

[@nojusticenopeace8717]

For free and people still didn’t liked the video!!! Humans are the weirdest creatures on earth!! Thanks for your time, and your content, liked and subscribed!

[@DanielSensual]

I make about 4K a month doing real estate but I have a mavic 3 cine so once clients saw the quality they don’t want anyone else. But it took me years to get here too and a lot of word of mouth. I had the Mini 2 and Mavic Pro before and barely made money with them. I also offer video service with my A7sIII and 14GM. I don’t even reach out realtors anymore they see the videos from my other clients and I get messages on my video page. But it was crickets for 3 years lol 😂

[@verdinec]

Hi, Do you use nd filters when taking photos with your mavic 3?

[@DanielSensual]

Yes

[@verdinec]

Ok

[@arnoldmancilla1247]

Congrats man! Is not that easy to build a reputation!

[@SashMultimediaProduction]

Could you please share a link of your page with the real estate shots that you’ve done ?

[@jonatanurrea2653]

Hey, you can just type W to cut forward or Q to cut backward, that’s even faster than your Z-Click-X method. Thanks for the course, I learned a lot!

[@droneareo]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I just did my first drone real estate job. Let me tell you. It would not have been possible without your instructions!!! You thoroughly explained every detail that i needed. You definitely speak my language. You explained it so simple that it was very easy for me to understand. I have spent so much money learning this trade. I have been watching other real estate photographers charge a high fee and i felt that I walked away not learning much. To be honest, I have learned so much more by watching your FREE video than the other paid instructional videos. YES, of course I am going to subscribe, buy your products or connect from your link any products needed and give you a very high thumbs up along with your other videos. Thanks again

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

So glad to hear this! It’s always super awesome to hear the videos are helping people 🤗

[@Gerald_G]

This type of video is exactly why I subscribe to and love this channel...Mike freely offers tons of value/knowledge that you'd have to rummage thru other channels to get, or buy a course. Thanks, Mike!!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thank you!

[@dabuck204]

Instant sub, your no nonsense, give it to you straight with no strings attached is refreshing and really appreciate the work that went into this tutorial. THANKS!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Appreciate it! Thanks!

[@smcarmel]

Mike, simply put.. you’re the man! Always appreciate your videos, you sharing your passion and experience.

[@dylanmccormickmoran3528]

I mean what a channel. Mike you create the best videos out there for sure. A pleasure to watch and support.

[@nunyabizniss6385]

As always, great lesson. I am brand new to photography and thanks to you I am taking both interior/exterior and now drone images for my listings. As a newer agent the cost of pro service dips deep into empty pockets...LOL This is very easy to follow and really helps me understand the needed details to make my amature work acceptable to my broker. May God's blessing remain with you.

[@louislarsen3811]

My first drone is a DJI Mini 3. I would suggest that for the beginner. Amazing small drone.

[@thomass.johnson8324]

You are a blessing, I pray your business thrives like no tomorrow, I will be in touch. God Bless you.. Great frame of mind !

[@alex.hidalgo]

With background play on while working I can tell this man can teach. However no shade, but I’ll be back with the “shot counter” total for this video

[@JeffreyJDavis]

Mike - really appreciate your generosity and pay it forward approach to share your expertise. Really useful insights for us newer RE photogs.

[@ShoesRUs]

Hey Mike I would greatly appreciate if you could make a check marked document for the drone pic and video workflow. I think this would be a great formula. Please let me know.

[@factayoutube1983]

This came in clutch, i just bought my drone and been practicing daily

[@gerikproctor5466]

i really like this layout. thnks for your work sir

[@supernatural802]

great stuff! I think one additional touch that would really give the final video some extra polish would be to add the name of the property to the intro shot with a nice font and a simple fade animation.

[@alexch3618]

Get the matrice 350 rtk with h30T or autel l35t for filming around figueroa street in los angeles. All those street walkers are a great selling point for the properties in that area ^_^

[@kamuzipro]

What can i say!! Just wow!! That's what i call a real tutorial. Thanks a lot for what you doing here.. kudo!!

[@WordizbonDon]

Love this video man. Definitely got me a few tips to speed up learning about this stuff. The best I have yet to see. Thanks

[@ASK_PLAY4u]

All this for FREEEEE, Thanks, Man.

[@abphoto4]

such a great and informative video. Thank you! Would you be willing to share your cool house label marker for aerial images??

[@Mister_EL.]

Great course with a ton of information and clear guidelines. Thank you for your effort, it is very much appreciated!!!

I am a monthly subscriber. The Info this guy is giving out for free is priceless. What's 4.99 a month to help him out.

[@MicStowe]

You're an awesome human being. Thank you, Sir. Subscribed.

[@Fixitall-ACE]

Great video. Just some advice I would never recommend shooting Auto White balance. You can see in your screen recordings the colors changing and the white balance going from 5100k to 5500k which would change the colors significantly. Honestly you should be shooting at 5600k on a sunny day and shoot 5800-6000k on a cloudy day. Locking your white balance would highly improve color accuracy and isn’t hard to do. Hope you don’t take it the wrong way. Great video either way.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks for the input! I understand your concern but out of thousands of drone shoots I’ve done cannot recall even one time I’ve had a color shift during a shot because of auto white balance. Yes, it’s shifting in the screen recording because there’s a piece of construction paper in front of the lens and the camera has no idea what’s going on haha. Out in broad day light, it’s a non-issue and that does not occur. Auto WB remains sound advice in my opinion and one less setting to worry about. Nothing wrong with doing it manually if you choose to do so.

[@TheHoveringScotsman]

Have to agree, was very surprised to see Auto White Balance being recommended for a professional aerial video, I suppose you can get away with it in slow footage like this, but I've ruined many a speed ramp by forgetting to lock WB.

[@JorgeHernanArcilaA]

Very good course, good video friend.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Outstanding tutorial, thank you 👍

[@Photographer2121]

Thank you for an another amazing video Mike! Quick question about lens distortion and straight lines in photographs. I didn't see you touch the "transform" or "lens corrections" tools in lightroom classic which always gets used for regular camera photos. Are those settings just not needed? Also when I try to search for the lens profile for DJI Mini 3, that specific model is not listed...

[@pete24p]

thanks for the info I hope I get to utilize it I have a mavic 2 I think it would make a great real estate drone!!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Yes, I used the mavic 2 pro for years. Great drone!

[@LanceRipka]

Man I thought I liked one of your videos. Man thanks for the info I am now a subscriber.

[@AirBodensee]

Thank you so much for spending all this time for the rookies. I am deciding between a Mini 4 Pro or a Mavic Classic as my first drone for real estate shots and footage. Greetings from southern Germany!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I think either of those are good choices!

[@AirBodensee]

@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Thank you!

[@jasonrussellwaters7755]

Sending Best wishes to you from Thailand, your Channel helps me a lot as a beginner real estate agent - funny enough, I now love taking photo and vdo more than being an agent

I believe it! Much less headaches 😂

[@XpandDrone]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your process and tips. Super helpful as I've recently launched my business and working on adding more to my website and KZbin. Well deserved subscribe!

This is awesome drone photography course, i learn a lot of your video. A huge thanks to you and your video.

[@craiglawrey7518]

Wow. Very helpful video! Thank you very much.

[@maakardar3534]

thanks a lot for this

[@christopherbailey128]

Very nice class. However do you have any videos laid out for video specifically for someone who has been in the field now for about 4 years ?.. I just feel like i have those moments where i feel stale and like lose creativity with some of my shoot or like i'm going through the same motions day in day out with every shoot. on average i'm shooting about 17-25 homes a week. And I only have a certian amount of time that I can spend in each home depending on what they are getting. But I would just love to have some fresh Ideas that I can use or try out.

[@iamsnyman]

Like everyone else here, I'm just starting out, and this is a tremendous help!

[@b3owu1f]

The issue lately is that drones like DJI mini pro are so easy to use.. that it seems agents/etc just buy them and use them themselves now. I have tried to find some work and most say they just use their own drone. Not even sure if they are Part 107 or not.. but it seems like this work is largely saturated with agents doing their own drone stuff now. Most areas (at least around me) have several that also say they already have someone that does it for them.. so it really seems saturated and luck of the draw if you can get any work today.

[@sizweml]

Thankyou so much for this!! This is very well put together, well explained and articulated. You are very humble and anyone can tell that your humility and honesty is what got you successful in this industry. I can’t believe this is a free course. Im definitely subscribing and will come back here. One question, are you self taught or you went to school for this?

[@ronclarke8546]

I have a Mavic 2 pro with the 1" sensor. I would think this would get better images that the DJI Mini 3 pro and equivalent to the Mavic 3 classic in good lighting. Who is still using the Mavic 2 pro and are you clients happy with the vids and photos?

[@chrisnugent2880]

Thank you so much. That was a wealth of information that I will be incorporating this weekend at my next shoot.

[@KM-rh4zl]

Mark a spot, let the drone gimbal track that location, then do your orbit. So much easier.

[@rafeekhendricks1831]

Thank U Sir So much appreciated

[@MatthewJones0425]

As a fellow Jersey Shore resident - Thank you! Just upgraded to the Mini 4 pro and can't wait to more time in the air. Ready to take the part 107 in the next 7-14 days and this information is greatly appreciated.

[@J_bar_S_Photography]

Ok, question. Im SO glad you put this video out. Im just getting into RE photography. Im not new to photography. Im a rodeo photographer. anyway, im new to RE so im starting from the very beginning in learning. Thats why im so glad you put out this video lol. Ive been watching you for a few months now. Almost a year. Anyway, sorry. So, with outsourcing your photo editing and video editing how do you tell them exactly what you want done? How do you tell them how to edit your photos or do you juat tell them you want HDR and all hand blended?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Appreciate it! I don’t usually outsource any video editing but do outsource a good amount of photo editing. Most of them do hand blend. The end result is what counts so as long as what you are getting back looks great and is to your standards no worries on what methods they are using!

[@manwithadronespain]

Extremely grateful for this. Thank you

[@jamil19]

Excellent informative video, thanks.

[@annettehurd9391]

Great video…really enjoyed it. How often do you do exterior only videos or did you do this just for this video? I would think a whole property video is what agents order. Curious 😊

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

@@annettehurd9391 it happens a decent amount but definitely less so in recent years

[@wolfiemedia]

5:05 ...but that's not the Classic? Says Mavic 3 on the arm and has the tele camera. Subbed. - great info :)

[@TancooMedia]

Hey Mike, amazing course! Thank you for making this. Do you still have the same drone recommendations in 2024 as you did in this video?

[@dronepilotcontractors4094]

It would be a good idea to learn about the Pitch, Yaw and Roll settings as well which set the sensitivity of the sticks for moving in those directions. Basically it adjust the amount of play in the sticks before the drone moves which helps out with manual flight for cinematic footage.

[@smartlifestyleeveryday3336]

Amazing job man 🙌 you’re a legend. Liked and subscribed

[@tylerfountain]

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you

[@dronemagic2023]

Hi , Fantastic tutorial. I've just purchased Mini 4 Pro and intend to use it for Estate Agency shots for Detached Properties here in the UK. I'm only halfway through this video , and have learned so much. Thankyou. My Question is, after taking shots, video's and editing how much should I charge the Estate Agents for one Standard Property? I am now a proud subscriber to your Amazing channel. thanks Again. Best channel even for UK followers 😊

[@chriseley9828]

Great video.. instead of manually videoing a circle why not use the quick shots, nothing lost by using this feature and everything to gain.. who cares if you didn’t do it manually? The client will love it and save you re-setting and trying to get it right over and over.. simple app with success every time.. almost guaranteed. Can use for drone/ boomerang etc of zooming in/out too.. Cheers, Chris. UK.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks! If using those modes suit you then go for it! I feel they take time to set up and interrupt my workflow. I have no issues nailing the movements manually. This is just how I do things and what works for me. Everyone will have their own preferences for sure!

[@simon916sps]

Superb tutorial - thank so much for your time and effort!!

[@Kirkloin]

Hey man thanks so much for the awesome video. Do you use regular cameras as well for your real estate gigs? Thanks so much

[@scottgiancola]

great stuff! Thank you. FYI... Many of your links in this video's description do not work.

[@luislammoglia7250]

Would you say that a Mini 4 Pro can do a professional job for real state shooting in may/2024?

[@dlat69]

Thank you very much for presenting a full course from beginning to end, and I appreciate the knowledge you've shared! You've touched with great detail regarding drone camera settings to Premiere Pro shortcuts. This will help me save time and be more efficient with my final productions. I have also received my Part 107 license through the Pilot Institute course.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Congrats and good luck!

[@josephhernandez5155]

Man thank you so much for the course you helped me in ways that i can't thank you enough and you are very insightful and knowledgeable once again thank you bro

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

My pleasure!

[@scottjgillishere]

Awesome content. Thank you for doing this. I do have a question tho. When you deliver your final shots to a client do you send the still shots separate and do you send a complete 1 to 2 minute video or separate video clips.. just curious.. Tia..

[@Joe-wk9ow]

This is cool. What would you charge a client for something like this. I got my p107 last year and I am looking into getting into real Estate with my Mavic 3 pro.

[@richryanphotography]

why not use active track when you are doing the orbit around the house? Awesome video!!!!! The fact you said low shots are for the tight details, med height is for the property and then up high shows surroundings will change my workflow starting tomorrow!! Man, what a great video and i am only halfway through... (although I outsource all my editing so I might skip over that part :) )

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks! I personally just don’t bother with the automated modes. They take time to set up and I’ve been doing these moves manually for so long that it’s no problem and I enjoy having maximum control.

[@mzito84]

Great video.

[@stefanbernhard2710]

Awesome. You're really generous 🙏

[@domgrundy935]

That is awesome - thanks so mush 😊

[@ericreifsnyder8655]

Mike, thanks for the great video. One question, do you always shoot in normal color profile? Is there ever a time you shoot in log?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

For real estate shoots I usually just stick to normal

[@MC78999]

Hi Mike, what photo settings would you use for an DJI Air 2s? You mentioned it is stuck on aperture F2.8... so what do you do for ISO and shutter speed in daylight situation? Great comprehensive video by the way. Excellent job! Thanks so much!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Hey! Thanks. For photos I would set the iso to 100 and put the shutter on auto and just let it determine the shutter speed on its own. You will have no issue in daylight with those settings. If it’s dark that’s another story.

[@darianrundallmedia1305]

Wow Mike what a house for an example! Great job as usual and thanks for all the work you put into these videos.

[@TheShotbyMK]

What about the insurance and licensing part of the whole thing?

[@male918]

None of this worked for me. I have DJI Air 3. Some of your settings are not available to me. However, all other settings were the same. My videos were Damn Near white at video so I had to change back auto. I did not get the 5 layers of pics Lightroom screen was very different, no library tab, no import button. Cntrl N did not allow naming, instead it opened a new browser window

[@somewhereinbetwixt]

Thanks for the detailed video - just wondering why you don't use built in flight automation like spotlight or poi to get some of your orbit shots?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I just find it’s faster and easier for me to do them manually. I’ve honed my techniques over the years haha

[@Andredelapaz07]

I use auto settings for drone real estate photos and videos and never noticed a problem. Is that bad and do you think I can continue doing it long term?

[@juanmora2952]

just wondering why you put WB in AUTO mode? and also don't you help the EXP with the histogram?

[@DaleF-tv6om]

what is the ballpark pricing for this service?

[@WheyofTheDragon]

Greetings! I was wondering if the Mini 2 SE is also a good choice?

[@swcblad]

by using a separate phone, you get to choose the spec of it, the included one with rc and rc2 are so SLOW and laggy….

[@02SamJ]

For shooting your more standard properties and capturing lower elevated shots would you recommend an arial pole/mast. Getting a drone soon but not sure if I need a pole as well?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I’ve never used a pole or anything like that. Drone always does the trick!

[@edhardy8679]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@BastienBMV]

Hi, why aren't you photoshopping that yellow grass in front of the house?? what's the point of you using photoshop if you don't really clean/edit your photos at their best? 😅

[@winfriedwobbe3582]

Aesome public service. Thank you, Sir! A puzzle: I inserted a San Disk extreme Plus 64 GB 42 U3 into my DJI RC and it says: No Card N/A. What type do ssd do u need?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Hmm I’m not sure why that didn’t work. I’m actually not sure. I use the DJI RC pro which has its own internal memory so I’m not using and sd card in my controller.

[@bradboyer5288]

I want to start doing this and have been practicing the maneuvers. I have a dji air 3. How much generically do you charge to do photos, then videos, and packages of both for real estate companies? I know it is different in different areas of the country but I have no idea where to start on the pricing. Thank you

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I would just google real estate photography in your area and you’ll see what people are charging via their websites
