We fly cinematic FPV flythroughs, shoot HDR photos, and deliver full listing media in 24 hours. A four-person team working with Charlotte's top-producing agents and commercial clients.
One Shot Drone Tours was founded in February 2025 to close the gap between what Charlotte's top-producing agents needed and what their brokerages were giving them, static exteriors, phone gimbal walk-throughs, and a two-week turnaround.
Sixteen months in, we're a team of four pilots and creatives working weekly with Charlotte's top 1% of agents, commercial brokers, businesses, and event spaces. Every shoot still ships fast. We still answer the phone.
No title overlap. Hover any photo to see what they run.

A selection, not the full list. More brokerages, venues, and agency partners every month.
Per-neighborhood pages cover what shoots well in each ZIP, what to bundle, and the listings we've shot on the block. From Plaza Midwood bungalows to Lake Norman waterfront.
How we plan routes, file airspace, scope packages, and keep shoots on schedule. Written for agents, brokers, and venue operators who want the details, not the sales copy.
ANSI Z765 is the measurement standard that turns a 2D floor plan into a defensible GLA on the listing. On Charlotte's older homes, additions, and rebuilds, the tax record number is rarely right.

CubiCasa renders an interactive 2D floor plan with photo markers. Matterport renders a 3D dollhouse scan. Two formats, two costs, two buyer behaviors. Which one Charlotte listings actually need.

Builder marketing aerials work harder across the full build cycle, not just at completion. Progress captures from foundation through finish compound into a content asset that markets the next build.

24 hours on standard residential and commercial shoots. Cinematic edits with licensed music run 3–5 business days. Event-day coverage (weddings, galas) delivers in 5–7 business days. Production work delivered per call-sheet.
Not for residential, lockbox, CentralShowing code, or key handoff is fine. Plenty of shoots happen without the agent on-site. Commercial and venue shoots usually benefit from a brief walk-through, but it's not required if you can share a scope in writing.
All pilots are FAA Part 107 certified. $1M liability baseline. COI with additional insured endorsement available same-day on request. Higher-limit policies ($2M, $5M) bound for productions that require them.
FPV, first-person-view, means the drone is piloted through goggles at a human pace, flying through doorways, down hallways, and out windows in a single unbroken take. It's the difference between watching a room and feeling like you're walking it. Full breakdown on /fpv.
Charlotte metro is standard (Ballantyne, Myers Park, Lake Norman, Fort Mill, Waxhaw, Concord). Asheville, Raleigh, Greenville, and the Carolina coast, we travel regularly. Out-of-region and multi-day shoots quoted with travel and lodging.
You do. Every deliverable includes unrestricted usage rights for marketing, MLS, leasing, web, social, and paid campaigns. We retain the right to show work in our own portfolio unless the project is under NDA.
