Main Street to the Bridge

MISSION 01 — FESTIVALS

Festivals & Large Events

BY REQUEST

Your festival looks good from the gate. It looks unbelievable from 300 feet. Thoptr flies the whole story: the crowd swelling at the main stage, the glow of the midway at dusk, the aerial establishing shot your promo reel has been missing.

We slot in alongside your media team as the second angle, not in place of it. Multi-day coverage is on the table, and so is the establishing cut your sponsors will actually watch.

  • Aerial crowd-scale coverage, day and night sets
  • Live video feed from the drone, straight to your big screens
  • Cinematic establishing footage for promos and sponsors
  • Multi-day coverage available

The Cabin and Its Docks

MISSION 02 — AIRBNB & RENTALS

Airbnb & Vacation Rentals

$400flat

Guests scroll fast. A listing that opens with a sweeping aerial of the property, the water, and the treeline stops thumbs. We fly it, shoot it, and cut a 45-second reel built for your listing page.

Need the inside covered too? We photograph interiors as well: bright, wide, and honest, so the whole listing looks like one photographer did it. Because one did.

One extra booking pays for it. Everything after that is margin.

  • Aerial photos of the property and its surroundings
  • Exterior stills, shot at the property's best hour
  • Interior photography available, bright and true to the space
  • 45-second listing reel, edited and ready to upload

The Neighborhood, In Context

MISSION 03 — REAL ESTATE

Real Estate Exteriors

$450

Yes, that's the price. It's above market on purpose, because the shots are too. Thoptr books a small number of listings and treats each one like a magazine cover: clean lines, golden light, and aerials that make the neighbors call their agent.

If you want the cheapest drone photos in town, someone with a newer hobby will oblige. If you want the listing that stops the scroll, check your date.

  • Exterior aerial stills, composed and color-graded
  • Neighborhood and lot context shots
  • Delivered MLS-ready

MISSION 04 — CUSTOM AERIALS

Custom Drone Photography

BY QUOTE

Some shoots don't fit a package, and those are usually the fun ones. Contractors who need roof photos before writing the estimate. Farms that deserve a portrait of the whole spread. Cities and universities that want marketing imagery with some altitude to it.

Tell us what you're picturing and where it sits. You get a straight quote and a shot list, usually within a day.

  • Roof and site photos for contractor estimates
  • Large farm and acreage portraits
  • City and university imagery for marketing materials
  • Landscape prints of places worth framing
