The Problem
Every minute after an incident, your evidence gets weaker.
Most attorneys and investigators only see a scene days or weeks later — through a handful of cell-phone photos. By then, the truth is already harder to prove.
The scene is disappearing.
Skid marks fade. Vehicles move. Weather changes. Within hours, the most important evidence is gone forever.
Witnesses see it differently.
Memory shifts. Stories change. Without a clear, unbiased aerial record, your case relies on what people think they remember.
Cases are won at the scene.
Juries respond to what they can see. Court-ready aerial imagery turns abstract testimony into undeniable visual fact.
"On scene in under two hours. The footage was exactly what we needed at deposition."
— Panhandle Trial Attorney

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on deliverables, response times, chain of custody, and how to engage us.
What deliverables do we receive, and in what format?
Every engagement includes high-resolution stills (JPEG + RAW/DNG), 4K video (MP4, H.264), and — when scoped — orthomosaic maps, 3D models, and measured site diagrams. Files are delivered via secure download link with a written flight report, equipment log, & FAA Part 107 certification. Native files are preserved unedited for chain-of-custody.
How fast can you be on scene?
Our average response across the Florida Panhandle is 12-to-24-hour response time in most situations, however, rapid response time can be sooner than 12 hours. We operate 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. For active scenes (accidents, fires, weather events), call 850-803-7663 directly — we'll launch as soon as airspace and law enforcement clear us in.
How do you handle chain of custody and authentication?
Original media is hashed (SHA-256) at capture, transferred to write-protected storage, and never altered. You receive the unedited originals plus any annotated working copies, a timestamped flight log, GPS metadata, and pilot credentials. Our pilot is available for deposition or trial testimony as a fact witness.
Are your pilots and aircraft properly certified and insured?
Yes. All flights are conducted by FAA Part 107 Remote Pilots in Command. We carry $1M+ in commercial drone liability insurance and can issue a certificate of insurance naming your firm or client as additional insured on request. Aircraft are registered with the FAA and maintained to manufacturer specifications.
What does it cost, and how is it billed?
Pricing depends on scene complexity, deliverables, and travel. Most accident-scene documentations fall within a predictable flat-rate range; large mapping or multi-day projects are quoted in writing. We invoice firms directly with NET-15 terms or accept card payment. Rush and after-hours dispatch carry a transparent surcharge disclosed up front.
How do I request documentation?
Click "Request Rapid Response" or call/text 850-803-7663. Tell us the location, what happened, and your deadline. We'll confirm scope, ETA, and pricing within minutes during business hours — usually within the hour after-hours. A signed engagement letter and COI follow before launch.
