Desert Drones provides FAA Part 107–certified aerial photography and video across the Phoenix metro — commercial and brand photography, property and development marketing, event and venue coverage, dealership and retail campaigns, and construction and progress documentation.

One licensed crew, the whole Valley — here's the range.
Edited, graded, and ready to run — sized for every channel you're on.
A few recent Valley jobs — a lit dealership, a logistics operation, and a Peoria sports venue. Real client work, not stock.
A Phoenix logistics operation shot mid-lift — the kind of establishing aerial that shows scale and capability for a B2B brand in one frame.
PHOENIX · COMMERCIAL
A Peoria sports complex from above — venues and events use aerial for the establishing shot and the energy a ground camera can't get.
PEORIA · VENUE
The establishing aerial that tells customers where you are and why it matters — the shot most local campaigns are missing.
BRAND · ESTABLISHINGWe shoot commercial and brand aerial across the Valley with licensed, insured pilots — flown legally under Part 107 with LAANC handled, so your brand can actually run the footage.
Real client work from our pilots — press play.
Brief to assets in days — here's the path.
The brand, the goal, the channels. We storyboard the shots and pick the light.
Licensed pilots fly the shot list — stills, video, or both — with airspace authorization handled.
Graded to your brand, cut to your music, versioned per platform.
Ready-to-run assets by shared link, with usage rights sorted.
The Valley's visual identity is strong — campaigns that use it stand out immediately.
Camelback, the desert, and downtown's glow at night give Valley campaigns a look no stock library has.
The metro's constant development means launches, leasing, and grand openings — all formats aerial was made for.
The Valley's auto row and retail centers use aerial — especially lit-at-night — for premium production value.
Sky Harbor Class B and the tower fields shape where and how we fly. LAANC pulled, missions planned, footage legal to run.
Commercial aerial content has to be legal to use and polished enough to run — that takes a licensed, insured production crew.
Aerial clients often bundle these — same production day when it makes sense.
Commercial and brand photography, property and development marketing, dealership and retail campaigns, event and venue coverage, and construction documentation — stills, video, or both.
Often, yes — central Phoenix sits under Sky Harbor's Class B airspace and near several tower fields. We hold FAA Part 107 certification and pull LAANC authorization for each flight.
Edited, color-graded, ready-to-run assets sized for each platform — raw available on request.
Yes — blue-hour and lit-at-night shots are some of our most-requested work, especially for dealerships and venues.
FAA Part 107 certified and fully insured, with a certificate of insurance on request.
Days, typically — so the content is live while the campaign is fresh.
