FPV walkthroughs, cinematic exterior video, gimbal aerial footage, and social cuts, shot by one Charlotte crew and delivered MLS-ready in 24 hours. Video from $395, scaling by square footage on a published ladder.
"Drone video" covers two different crafts that most people lump together. Knowing which
is which is the fastest way to understand what you're actually booking. Weighing FPV
against a traditional tour instead? See the
FPV vs walkthrough video comparison.
( FPV Walkthrough )
One drone. One breath. Every room.
A custom micro drone flies a single unbroken take through the front door, down the hallway, through each room, and out a back window. No cuts, no gimbal pan. The camera moves the way a person would walk the home, just lower and faster than any human operator could hold steady.
Rig
Custom-built micro FPV drone, sub-250g
Movement
One continuous take, no cuts
Best for
Interior flythrough, doorways, hallways, stairs
Delivered as
2-4 min MLS cut + 60-sec vertical
( Aerial Video )
Stable. Elevated. Built for context.
A gimbal-stabilized drone hovers above the property for smooth establishing shots: the descending reveal, the roofline pass, the pull-back that shows the home in its lot and neighborhood. Where FPV shows the inside, aerial shows where it sits.
Rig
DJI Air 3, 3-axis gimbal
Movement
Smooth hovers, orbits, reveals
Best for
Exterior establishing shots, roofline, lot context
Delivered as
Graded into the same edit as the FPV cut
VS
Most Charlotte listings use both in the same edit: the FPV fly-through for
the interior, aerial for the exterior, graded together into one continuous story instead of
two separate clips.
( What a video shoot ships )
Five things every video package delivers.
01( 01 )
FPV walkthrough video
One continuous first-person flight through the property, doorways, stairs, and out a window in a single unbroken take. Custom micro drones fly lines a gimbal drone physically cannot. This is the shot people rewind, and the reason the listing gets watched to the end.
02( 02 )
Cinematic exterior video
Gimbal establishing shots, slow reveals, and orbit moves that place the home in its lot and neighborhood, graded to match the interior FPV cut.
03( 03 )
Gimbal aerial video
Smooth elevated footage from the DJI Air 3: the descending reveal, the rooftop context pass, the pull-back that shows scale. Stable, color-true, and framed for the roofline and the surrounding streets.
04( 04 )
Social + vertical cuts
Every shoot ships a 2 to 4 minute MLS cut and a 60-second vertical for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. Same footage, two aspect ratios, one edit.
05( 05 )
24-hour, MLS-ready delivery
Shoot one day, edited video the next. Full-resolution masters plus platform-sized exports land in a branded gallery with per-format downloads. Drop the link straight into the MLS or the caption.
( Hiring guide )
Hiring a drone videographer in Charlotte? Check four things.
Whoever you hire, us or anyone else, these four separate the professionals from the
guy with a drone.
( 01 )
FAA Part 107, and insured
Legally required for any paid drone work. Every OSDT pilot holds a Part 107 certificate and the aircraft are insured, which matters in Charlotte specifically: much of the metro sits in controlled airspace around CLT, and flying it commercially takes LAANC authorization, not just a drone and a business card.
( 02 )
FPV is a separate craft
Most drone videographers fly gimbal drones, which cover exteriors well. Flying a micro drone through doorways and stairwells in one take is a different skill with a much longer learning curve. If interior video matters, ask to see one-take interior work in the portfolio before you book anyone.
( 03 )
Turnaround in writing
A listing video that arrives in two weeks might as well not arrive. We put 24-hour delivery on the invoice, not in the fine print, and it holds during spring listing season because four pilots share one edit pipeline.
( 04 )
A crew, not a calendar risk
Hire a solo operator and their sick day becomes your launch delay. OSDT is four pilots who all know the job and the address, so the shoot happens on the day you booked it.
The four of us are on the about page, flight hours included. Or skip
the vetting and text us the address.
Video gets it moving. Standard ships the full kit.
Both ship the FPV walkthrough, an MLS cut, and a vertical Reels cut in 24 hours. Standard
adds the full stills kit. Exterior gimbal aerial video is an add-on on either tier.

My session with One Shot Drone Tours by Marshal was a complete success. Marshal was able to do a beautiful drone tour of the inside of my business, and take professional photos of the space for the website. The services were professional, the turnaround was super quick for receiving the content, and we're excited to work with One Shot Drone Tours again in the near future.

Highly recommend One Shot Drone Tours! I needed new exterior shots and an updated drone video after my sellers vacated the home. Marshal and Alexander were both professional, responsive, and pleasant to work with. Their attention to detail and quality of work truly stood out from the others. They were punctual, efficient, and took their time. The exterior photos and drone footage turned out amazing and showed the property beautifully.

( Where we fly )
Every Charlotte neighborhood, on video.
Each neighborhood page covers what shoots well there, what to bundle, and the listings we've shot on the block.
The Drone Tour package starts at $395 and delivers the FPV walkthrough video with an MLS cut and a 60-second vertical Reels cut. Standard at $595 adds the full stills kit: HDR interior and exterior photos, the 2D floor plan and interactive 3D tour, and virtual twilight images. Exterior gimbal aerial video is an optional add-on on either tier. Elite at $1,000 adds a cinematic property film, extended aerial sequences, and on-site creative direction. Every tier scales by square footage on the published ladder. Full table on /pricing.
How do I hire a drone videographer in Charlotte?+
Vet four things: an FAA Part 107 certificate (legally required for paid drone work), aircraft insurance, one-take interior FPV work in the portfolio if the job includes indoor video, and a turnaround commitment in writing. OSDT checks all four: every pilot is Part 107 certified and insured, FPV flythroughs are the core craft, and 24-hour delivery is on the invoice. The team and flight hours are on the about page.
What's the difference between FPV video and gimbal aerial video?+
FPV video is a first-person flight on a custom micro drone: one continuous take through doorways, down halls, and out windows, the shot that makes a walkthrough feel like motion. Gimbal aerial video is the smooth, stabilized exterior work from a DJI Air 3: rooflines, descending reveals, and neighborhood context. Most Charlotte listings want both. Aerial video is an optional add-on on any tier. Aerial stills live on the aerial photography page.
What formats and lengths do the videos come in?+
A 2 to 4 minute horizontal MLS cut for the listing and portals, plus a 60-second vertical cut sized for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. Elite listings add a longer cinematic property film. All delivered as full-resolution masters with platform-ready exports in a branded gallery.
How fast is delivery?+
24 hours on the Drone Tour and Standard video packages. Elite cinematic films with extended edits run a little longer and get priority scheduling. Files arrive in a branded gallery with per-format, individually downloadable exports.
Do you shoot cinematic property films and branded video?+
Yes. The Elite package covers cinematic property and local-highlights films for listings that need motion. For commercials, music videos, and branded content shot with cinema drones and ground cameras, that is a separate practice with its own crew and day-rate. See /production.
Can you shoot commercial and development video, not just homes?+
Yes. FPV walkthroughs, exterior aerials, and progress video for CRE, restaurants, business spaces, and developments run through /commercial, scope-quoted from $900. Residential listing video lives on /residential.
