Drone Services in Charlotte

I'm Shane, and SQO SkyWorks is my one-man drone company based right here in Charlotte. I'm FAA Part 107 certified and fully insured, and I handle every job myself, from the flight to the final edit. Aerial photography, construction progress, mapping and site surveys, real estate media, event coverage. If it needs to be shot from the air anywhere in the Charlotte metro, I can probably help.

Charlotte is home. I've flown all over this city, from South End rooftops to job sites out past the airport, and I know the airspace cold. A lot of Charlotte sits inside controlled airspace for Charlotte Douglas, so I handle LAANC authorizations as part of planning every flight. You never have to think about that part.

My background is in landscape design and site planning, which turns out to be useful when somebody hands me a 40-acre parcel or an active construction site and asks me to make sense of it from above. I shoot 4K video, edit everything myself, and turn projects around fast because I'm not handing files off to anyone.

Charlotte is my base, so there's no travel math here. I cover the whole metro from this side of town, including the Mecklenburg County suburbs. If you're just outside the city limits, send me the address and I'll confirm I can get to you.
