Real estate accounts for a large portion of SkyVision Drone Service’s business. Owner Lamar Gillespie hopes to take on project requests involving building inspections, roofing inspections and phone tower inspections.A music teacher by day and a drone pilot by night, Rossville resident Lamar Gillespie founded SkyVision Drone Service in May, and has since seen his new business take off.
SkyVision offers professional aerial photography and videography for the Greater Chattanooga and North Georgia area and takes on projects related to real estate, special events, construction projects, golf course virtual tours and more. All projects are delivered to customers fully edited and ready for use, Gillespie said.
In full compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations, he said SkyVision operates registered drones. Gillespie received his Part 107, a requirement for the operation of a non-hobbyist, unmanned aircraft, in February 2017.
While Gillespie sees the sky as the limit in terms of project requests, he has found that commercial and residential real estate are in high demand of drone photography services.
However, he said anyone can contact him, and while prices greatly vary depending on the project, 10-15 aerial photos could cost as low as $100.
