Drone Services
Safety - a reliable platform for flying.
We are always involved in a key performance factor when flying drones; it is situational awareness.
Simply put, you can not be creative with the drone while in flight without knowing your flight environment.
We are happy to be up in the FAA's air space.
Whether above the farms, the deserts, near a hospital, a school zone, or a construction site... We always fly safely.
A note about Drones and the FAA
Swafford Imaging has a FAA licensed drone pilot (Part 107) with a photography, video production, and a television production background.
Our Drones are registered with the FAA databases.
We are familiar with Drone Laws in California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Michigan. We review every state before we choose to fly within when traveling on business purpose.
The FAA mandates that any drone pilot that is flying in the NAS (National Air Space) be licensed as a Small Unmanned Air Systems pilot (Part 107). A licensed pilot is required whenever a flight is for commercial purpose.
Those pilots that are licensed know the processes for pre-flight check, situational awareness, and working in controlled or regulated airspaces.
Drone Photography & Video as a Cinematic Service
We use this Drone service to provide an position of elevated reference of still images of the property. A standard option for all listing photography projects.

We fly several drones for the purposes that need to be accomplished. Also the choice is to be safe in a changeable weather environment.
