All flights comply with FAA regulations, and Rick carries commercial insurance for drone operations. This is required by law for any commercial drone work, including real estate photography.
What areas of Las Vegas can you fly drones?
Rick can fly in most Las Vegas Metro areas including Summerlin, Henderson, Southern Highlands, Green Valley, Centennial Hills, and North Las Vegas.

If your property is in a restricted zone, Rick will let you know during booking and obtain necessary clearances.
How long does a drone shoot take?

What weather conditions are needed for drone photography?
Drone flights require calm weather with wind speeds under 20 mph and no precipitation. Rick monitors weather conditions and will reschedule if conditions aren't safe or won't produce quality results. Las Vegas's typically sunny weather makes drone photography possible year-round.

In most cases, yes! Rick regularly photographs properties in Las Vegas's exclusive gated communities including The Ridges, MacDonald Highlands, Southern Highlands, and Tournament Hills. However, some HOAs have specific drone restrictions. Please check with your HOA if you're unsure if a drone is allowed to be flown in the community that your listing is in. Rick is professional, discreet, and respectful of privacy in all luxury neighborhoods.
