I learned the ground before I learned the sky.

SQO SkyWorks is my one-man drone company in Charlotte, NC. I'm FAA Part 107 certified, fully insured, and I handle site documentation, construction progress, and aerial marketing media across the Greater Charlotte Area.

Before drones, I worked in landscape design and site planning. That background still shapes how I frame every flight. Grades, setbacks, access, progress. The stuff your team actually needs to see, captured at the right angle the first time.

And I edit everything myself. Stills get color-corrected, video gets cut and graded, and the files that land in your inbox are ready to use that same day.

  • Landscape & site-planning fluency
  • Insured, FAA-compliant operations
  • Fast turnaround, delivery-ready files

Meet your pilot.

A quick hello from me, Shane. I'm the Part 107 pilot behind every SQO SkyWorks flight.

Three ways I put you in the air.

I work with builders, developers, realtors, and property owners across the Charlotte metro. One-off shoots or recurring flights, your call.

01

Site Documentation

High-resolution aerial records of land, lots, and properties. Surveys, due diligence, listings, or just a clean record you can pull up anytime.

What people say after the files land.

“Shane flies our site the first Friday of every month and the photos are in my inbox by dinner. The owner stopped asking us for updates. That alone is worth it.”

DerekGC project manager, Concord

“My sellers thought I hired some big production company. It was one guy and a drone, and the listing went under contract that weekend. Two agents at the open house asked who shot it.”

MelissaRealtor, Ballantyne

“I needed roof and lot photos before an insurance review. One morning, done, every file labeled so I didn't have to sort a thing. Never had to chase him once.”

TonyProperty manager, Matthews

Things people ask before they book.

Are you licensed to fly commercially?

Yes. I hold an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certificate, and every flight follows airspace and safety regulations. Near the Charlotte airspace, that includes LAANC authorization when it's required.

What areas do you cover?

Charlotte and the Greater Charlotte Area: Uptown, SouthPark, Ballantyne, Matthews, Concord, and the surrounding metro on both sides of the state line. I'll travel for the right project.

How quickly do I get my files?

Depends on scope, but most shoots turn around fast. You get edited stills and video formatted for listings, decks, and social, ready to use the day they land.

Can you do recurring progress flights?

Absolutely. A lot of my construction clients book repeat flights so the build gets documented from the same vantage points every time.

How much do drone services cost?

I scope every project individually, so pricing depends on location, flight time, and what you need delivered. Reach out and I'll get you a free, no-obligation quote fast.

Do you shoot real estate and property listings?

Yes. Aerial stills and video for listings, developments, and property marketing are a big part of my Marketing & Visual Media work across the Greater Charlotte Area.

How do I book a flight?

Send a request through the contact form or call (704) 783-6767. I'll confirm the scope, send a free quote, schedule the flight, and deliver your edited files.

Are you insured?

Yes. I'm fully insured, and I fly in compliance with FAA Part 107 regulations.

Do you deliver edited files or raw footage?

Edited and ready to go. I color-correct the stills and cut the video myself, formatted for listings, decks, and social. Raw files are available if you want them.

How far in advance should I book?

A few days' notice is ideal, but reach out anytime. I can usually make tight timelines work when weather and airspace cooperate.
