Another Tool For Marketing Your Property - Quad-copter Photography

I was first intrigued with this when I saw a video of Riverside National Cemetery.  My son works there and told us about this person who was making a video of the grounds. You can see the video here. It is about half way down the page. Outstanding Aerial View of Riverside National Cemetery.
This looks like something out of the future but it is in use today for commercial purposes. One of those commercial purposes is real estate photography and videography. After watching the video above, you might think that the cost would be prohibative. But it might be more reasonable than you think.

The actual video in the link above was done with a Quadcopter.  A Quadcopter has 4 large blades positioned fore and aft on either side of the body of the copter.  It is much easier to fly because the 4 blades offer a more balanced flight.  I researched the person who did the video and found out that he uses 2 separate cameras.  One for flight that he monitors on his control pad and the other takes the video.  These cameras can be positioned forward or downward and give you a unique perspective of the landscape below.  The Quadcopter can be purchased for as little as $700 and with some modifications you might pay up to $2000.

If you list a lot of large properties or estates, this is a small price to pay for some magnificent photography that will catch the eye of the most discerning buyer.  I am sure you can find services that are now using these unique devices. If you promote a video like this, you will get a lot of exposure and by tying it back to your website you will improve your SEO.
Here in the Sedona real estate market, I will definitely utilize this service, when I have an opportunity.  I believe that these are the type of marketing tools that put you one up on your competition and help cement that listing with out of the box ideas.
It would be great to hear from those who are using this uncommon approach for marketing their listings!  include a link to your video!
