CASA-accredited drone photography and videography across metropolitan Sydney. Real estate aerials, roof inspections, events, and commercial property — with the flight planning, communication, and turnaround of a dedicated one-person operation, not a call centre.
I'm Josh — a CASA commercially accredited drone pilot based in Ryde, operating across Inner Sydney, the North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, and the CBD. I fly a DJI Mini 4K for standard jobs and a DJI Air 2S for premium work requiring 5.4K video, 20MP stills, or D-Log M footage. I also carry a Canon EOS R50 for ground-level photography and video to complement aerial coverage in a single shoot.
Fast, thorough residential roof inspection. Photos delivered digitally for use with multiple tradesperson quotes. No ladders, no scaffolding, no drama.
In and out efficiently. Local aerial photography for real estate, strata, or personal use — planned properly, shot cleanly, delivered fast.
Multiple angles, overhead shots, locality context, and RAW files included on every residential real estate job across Sydney.
Aerial coverage for outdoor events, fitness sessions, local markets, business promotions, and community activations. DJI Air 2S preferred for events.
Commercial real estate aerial photography including locality shots, overhead property footprint, skyline context, and CBD proximity imagery.
5.4K video, 20MP stills, D-Log M colour grading, and 60fps slow motion for jobs where standard 4K isn't enough.
Every job gets my direct attention — not handed to a junior operator or squeezed between five other bookings. I email you back myself within an hour or two with a clear price, a timeframe, a copy of my CASA accreditation and ARN, and detailed Google Earth planning annotations showing exactly what I intend to shoot before I ever fly.
I've completed commercial aerial photography jobs in restricted, low-ceiling urban airspace near the Sydney CBD, fast-turnaround real estate aerials across Ryde and the Inner West, roof inspections for homeowners and strata managers, and aerial coverage of outdoor events and fitness activations. Every job gets the same structured pre-flight planning and clear communication.
Public liability insurance is available as an optional add-on, generally under $25, and will be clearly specified in your quote. All quotes include my CASA Commercial Accreditation and ARN for your records.
