5 Essential Drone Shots for Real Estate Drone Videos

[@TheJswerve]

Hello. My wife is a Realtor so I decided to start filming her Open Houses in an effort to build a Real Estate media company. These tips were very helpful. Thank you.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Best of luck with it!

[@JeffreyBaranJr.]

Please get your Commercial drone lisence ASAP if you don't have it. You can get in some serious trouble/fines even if your doing it for no cost. If the content is being used for commercial purposes you need your part 107.

Did she close more work due to drone?

[@fcoker73]

This was short, sweet and very informative. Thank you for adding the visuals on what you were explaining and showing your full video at the end. Im looking into getting into this field of work. Thanks again!!

[@gjack916]

This was great! I just ordered my DJI 4 mini pro and I’ll be bugging you with questions!

[@smcarmel]

Honestly, best series on KZbin for helping with this type of work! Thanks!

[@ezrTech.nelson]

I just purchased my first drone. A DJI Mini 4 Pro. I am interested in getting started shooting footage for real estate and came across your video. This is the first video I've seen from you and I really appreciate your attention to detail and your suggestions. I look forward to getting started and will be checking out your other videos. Thanks for what you do!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

@@ezrTech.nelson good luck with it!

[@BigVin6588]

I just landed a side gig doing drone videography for real estate, and this was so helpful. Thank u! I greatly appreciate it!

[@onichann4927]

How did you start out? I’m only a high schooler but I’m interested in drone videography

[@blueskyeimagery]

I enjoy viewing your videos as they have been very educational to me. In this competitive world not everyone is willing to reveal their knowledge base of their successful business. I certainly appreciate your time in putting these videos together. Thank you very much.

[@alexandru5917]

You and another guy are single-handedly the best tuttors in this type of photography on KZbin. Congrats! I've just put my hands on a tamron 10-24 3.5-4.5 VC HLD and straight away contacted my landlord asking him to allow me to exercise on some of his properties in exchange for free photos for him to publish. Next month I'm planning to buy an godox ad200 and hopefully in 4 months of everything goes well I'll save enogh for a dji drone. Thank you again for all the amazing content you are providing for all of us!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks! Nice, Good luck with it!

[@knowthyself1981]

How many mins should the real estate videos be ?

[@rendericeib4513]

Nice location there, great tips 👍

[@Mtcwooly]

What software do you use to edit ?

[@ashphotography]

This is great! I’m new to drone real estate videos. Very helpful

[@triplewinlin5576]

Thanks for always getting right to the point, not "droning" on forever ;)

[@LIVINGINFARGO]

Makes a lot of sense! I’ve seen a lot of hodgepodge of clips

[@brodiewilkinson9738]

Some amazing properties!

[@ChasingSunshinePhotography]

Fabulous informational video! Thank you so much, I appreciate this video.

[@mudflapsmoviereviews]

Super great video! I'm looking to get into real estate photography by the end of the year

[@tylerfountain]

I'm just starting to get into drone video and this was extremely helpful! Thanks!

[@MyUsername1120]

Nice video! Thank you so much for the content!! I did find it a little hard to understand you sometimes just because you speak faster than I am used to. Thanks, again.

[@frankalcala9880]

Very nice 👍🏻

[@shreddykrueger9171]

Can you PLEASE make a tutorial on the settings/modes and how you color grade these drone shots. Nobody on youtube is doing it and your content is fantastic.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks! I do go over that in other videos. Look for my full drone course on my channel. The drone shots are just standard profile and just tweaked a little in post but not much at all is done in the way of color grading.

[@luiscenteno.sdiscubadiveri892]

Will you need to take any interior shots?

[@risofabio55]

Your timing is impeccable.

[@ryanwarneke]

Great video! Thank you.

[@crystalwizardstudios]

Thanks again Mike for helping us all to level up. Peace!!!

[@youtuberealestatemastery]

Thank you! It's so helpful to put a vocabulary to the different shots. I noticed you seem to alternate, left to right, right to left, when you stack your Sweeping shots. Is this a principle you always try to follow? Thanks!

[@fortheloveofmedicine4634]

I just bought a drone for my RE photography business. Very helpful.

[@Lucytheedog]

The music and sound effects that you used for the example video, is that just for KZbin or do you include that in your finished drone video for the client ?

[@andyd9199]

Recommendations for 500 set up

[@pipermaru9]

Which software do you use to produce your drone videos??

[@yachtandmarineclips]

Thank you for the video. Can you do a little lesson on how to do that super quick fade away after the close up?

[@terrylstarks]

Wow those were great. Thanks for the info.

[@PDXadrenaline]

On shot #1and #2 are you going up for down in latitude as your going into and away from the property? Thank you

[@Media-oq9ux]

Headed out to do these exact moves, but not before coming to your " growing channel". Lets hope I can trust the tech ! Yesterday was blah out so its worth going back today for blue skies.

[@gladperson116]

This is nice but what would you do when the house is literally in a field with nothing aroundthats interesting in a acrage.

[@treysals]

Do you shoot in log or normal

[@edjohansen4231]

Very nicely done,and thank you for making that video. It was very educational and gave me some great ideas. Do you ever shoot inside videos with your drone..??

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

There’s been a couple of very rare occasions I filmed a couple of shots inside with my drone. Never a whole house or anything. Not something I would endorse or recommend.

[@kimpoeun2755]

What editing software do you use? Adobe Premiere? Thank you awesome video liked and subscribed.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks! Yes, Adobe premiere

[@nealflynn9201]

Impressive work, do you ever do any inside shots? Do you let the realtor decide on a single shot for a print out flyer?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

With a drone? No. All inside shots I do with a regular camera

[@bradleymichael8721]

[@HM.archive]

Great video,thanks for share.

[@baazgrouplimited6969]

Awesome Work

[@ChrisHay-Photography]

Hello how much do u charge a client for doing something like this just like when your just starting ?

[@princedeno9755]

Thank you really helpful

[@jestick12]

That was great i love the footage. How do you find the focal point of a house that might not have all the features you showed?

[@jamesruse9708]

So helpful. Thanks.

[@douggarman6343]

Great work and was wondering how you price

[@RealExpertsPro]

Do you have a tutorial on that zoom transition? 👀

[@rohanchung2185]

Very helpful.

[@maxkearney114]

quality video my guy

[@dwalosie]

Great video, thank you so much!

[@ivanzalaquett]

Awsome, I just created a checklist of things to take into consideration. Thank you! In my market there way more apartments for sale than houses, how would you go buy for these properties and how long do you tend to make them?

[@austinsmith4185]

What is an average cost $ for something like this. Ive got my 107 license and over 20 years surveying experience. Started getting descent with mavic

[@heliflyer7]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Jp4444jp]

Great video, as always. Can you discuss your shot choice at the 6:24 mark? Was the dark exposure intentional, perhaps for a sunset look? The only reason that I ask is because no other shot is that dark and it tends to stand out.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Just a creative choice really. There was really strong highlights coming off the water. I knew I wouldn’t be able to regain the highlights but wanted to bring the exposure down enough to a point where it wasn’t overbearing and I liked the look of it.

[@michaelelwood6372]

Excellent thank you

[@ItsLifeWithBryan]

Outstanding video. Something I’m wondering. How do you stay out of the video? Are you flying from inside a car/house? Or maybe removing yourself in post?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Just staying out of the way depending on the shot. Under a tree, against the house etc. whatever the shot requires.

[@TommyD1984]

Could I ask what program do I use for editing the photo/video after u finish?

[@scooterman0811]

Just got my Part 107 and going to start doing this as a side gig. Been flying a drone fg or a while recreational. What application do you use for editing? What do you charge for a real estate clip like that? I don't even have an idea what to even charge

[@Directory1]

Thank you.

[@aceboy8613]

You the best man

[@Kaycegamez]

Got a drone and the first thing I learned was keeping these kinda shots stable so hopefully helps me out😂

[@HunterLo25]

So as a newbie, how do you maintain VLOS? Where are you hiding? lol

[@palmtide]

Helpful tips.

[@TribeNewsNow]

Very informative, thank you

[@Benferno]

Thanks for the great information. Spectacular. I'm curious though, would you reschedule a shoot, drone or otherwise, because of heavy overcast? Not rain, just overcast?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I would speak to the agent about it and say how it wouldn’t be ideal and see what they want to do. Sometimes they are rushing to get it out there and will do it anyway. It’s their call at the end of the day.

[@Benferno]

Much appreciated.

[@hopeforthefuturesg]

do you manual focus for video, set to infinity? or Auto focus?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I just use auto focus. Never had an issue with focus.

[@roquefortfiles]

What editing software would you recommend?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Final Cut Pro is my preference these days. If not that then Davinci Resolve or Premiere Pro.

[@roquefortfiles]

@ I thought i might be able to do Real Estate photography. I already work as a photographer. Then I found out how much editing and window replacement nonsense is involved. Blending 5 different flambient photos. Not interested at all. That's not photography. That's just post work.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

@ outsource the editing to an editor so you don’t have to deal with that aspect of it unless you really want to.

[@roquefortfiles]

@InsideRealEstatePhotography Have any links? I would do it that way.

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

Do you use 30 fps or 60?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

30

[@pauljones7923]

always have issues losing track of the house when i get the drone up high, anyone know tricks to, prevent this?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

My suggestion would be just to keep the house in view and keep your eyes on it as you ascend the drone.

[@pauljones7923]

@Inside Real Estate Photography thanks so much for your response it never seems to be that easy as in my area there's always lots of trees covering the house and you lose it very easily. sometimes only gone up 50 or 60 m and you can no longer pinpoint the house

[@DonnieRayyy]

Where do you normally stand when your flying your drone for these missions? Also do you save the video on a SD card in the drone then plug that into the computer to edit it?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Where I stand greatly depends on the situation. Usually under a tree or something like that. Yes, I save to SD card.

[@DonnieRayyy]

@@InsideRealEstatePhotography what software do you use to edit? Have you done a video on your editing by chance?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

@@DonnieRayyy yes kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJzTg6Zjd9KoqtU

[@bewatermyfriend22]

which drone are u using?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I’m using a mavic 3 currently

[@raulkapur3691]

What is an average price you can earn doing a video of a home or property

[@luhan8628]

Well it varies, in my country Saudi arabia a video of a length 30 seconds with voice over and drone shots+ interior shots usually is around 800$ to 1000$ easily if you have a good portfolio, that's because drones in Saudi are very sensitive product and not any one can fly them, I don't know about the situation in the US but I don't believe it's much different than here

[@net200777]

are you flying with filters or with AP?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

No filters used

[@joaquinloustaueisele4216]

gr8!!!

[@silasacostaii3162]

What program do you use to edit your drone videos?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Adobe Pemiere

[@adrianloma1769]

So what camera or drone would you use inside the house?

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I use a Sony a7siii mainly

[@musicandairplanes6330]

This home in a neighborhood with million dollar homes looks fabulous. What about homes that are being sold that are in the country that are surrounded by trees, that have neighborhood that aren’t so great but the house in the neighborhood selling anyway? The drone videos that I’m making are $200 to $250,000 home, maybe at $350,000.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

I do those all the time as well! All the shots I do are basically the same whether it’s a 200K house or a house that’s 3 Mil. Only real difference is the 3 mil house probably just has a extra few shots for pools and stuff like that.

[@MargaretWolfPhotog]

Great job once again. So helpful. Im practicing my shots but must get a lot smoother in balancing the movement of my sticks so one movement isnt more dominant than the other. Working on balancing the pressure. I love the approach shots but if I cant see my drone I get scared. Flying with my smart controller instead of my eyes scares me.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

thanks! Yeah, it definitely takes some time to get the feel of the sticks!

[@WallMan1013]

Step 1: get your part 107 lol Those fines are hefty..

[@LouisLuzuka]

[@peterwilliams2889]

Your hands are distracting.

[@alexromo7990]

S^*t man, not sure how are the laws there but you broke many of them flying your drone like that.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Not sure what you’re referring to. I’ve had my part 107 for quite some time and have passed the test 3 times at this point. I’m well aware of the rules and don’t break any of them.

[@alexandru5917]

@@InsideRealEstatePhotography I assume you are based in the US. How do you go around asking the authorities for permission? I'm based in the uk and I'm scared of getting sacked for flying my drone and I heard the approval time for launching your drone in the air can be weeks.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

@@alexandru5917 yes I’m in the US. No permission is needed unless you are flying in certain airspace in which case you would need to obtain a waiver which does take a long time. Most residential areas are not in those type of airspace’s for the most part unless near an airport or something. In my area there’s almost no issues with that. I think only 1 or 2 times I couldn’t do the shoot in the last 6 years or so of flying.
