Services
Every job includes flight planning, airspace checks and edited results. You don't need to know anything about drones.
Featured service
Scheduled site visits from the same aerial viewpoints, so builders and owners can see exactly how a project is moving, without driving out to the site.
Show buyers the whole picture: the home, the land and everything nearby.
Detailed, organized photos of roofs, exterior structures and hard-to-reach areas. No ladders, no climbing.
Visual documentation only. It doesn't replace an inspection by a licensed roofer, engineer or insurance adjuster.
Smooth, cinematic footage that makes a property or place feel special.
Aerial content that helps local businesses, venues and events stand out.
Video presentations with available telemetry (location, altitude, speed and a synchronized map), produced with my own Flight Studio software.

How it works
Here's exactly what to expect, from first message to finished photos.
Fill out the short form. A rough idea is plenty; I'll ask any questions I need.
I check the location and airspace, then send a simple, up-front price.
I handle safety, airspace authorization and weather. You don't need to be on site.
Edited photos and video delivered by download link, ready to share.
Technology
Go beyond ordinary drone footage with synchronized flight information, map-based visualization, and organized reporting capabilities. Flight Studio is software I built and develop myself.
Meet your pilot
I run Estep's Aerial, the drone services division of Estep's Solutions LLC. I love aerial photography and video and helping people see their places in a whole new way. I'm an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot.
I also build my own drone software, including Flight Studio, so I'm a little obsessed with flight data, organization and getting the details right. Whether this is your first time hiring a drone pilot or your fiftieth, I'll keep things simple, safe and stress-free.
Questions
Here are answers to the questions people usually ask first.
Not at all. Just tell me what you want to show and how you plan to use it. I'll recommend the right shots and take care of everything else.
It depends on the location and what you need, but quotes are always free and up-front. Send a quick message and you'll get a clear price before anything is booked.
Yes. I'm an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot. I check airspace and weather before every job and request any authorization the location requires.
Stafford, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and the surrounding Northern Virginia communities. If you're a bit farther out, just ask.
Nope, though you're welcome to watch! I just need access to the area and a heads-up about anything I should know.
Safety comes first, so if it's too windy or rainy I'll reschedule at no extra cost.
No. Aerial photos are great visual documentation, but they don't replace an inspection by a licensed roofer, engineer or insurance adjuster. Many people share the photos with those professionals.
Usually within a few days. If you're on a deadline, let me know and I'll do my best to make it work.
