Drone photography for Australian businesses: aerial photos and video of your site, venue or event, flown by licensed pilots and planned for your marketing.
Aerial photography
Rock Solid Marketing arranges drone photos and aerial video for businesses across Australia, flown by licensed specialists we work with.
Some businesses only make sense from above. A caravan park on the river, a broadacre farm, a new subdivision or a festival site looks small and cluttered from the car park. From the air, people see the layout, the setting and the scale in one frame. That single shot often does more for your website header or a Facebook ad than a dozen ground photos.
We plan the shot list, brief the pilot, check the rules for your site and edit the files for each channel. Drone shoots are priced to the job after a free 30-minute discovery call.

What we capture
Every flight follows a shot list built around the pages, ads and posts the images are for, so nothing is shot just because it looks nice.
Drone aerial photography of farms, orchards, vineyards and acreage, showing boundaries, water and access in one frame, so buyers and visitors understand the place before they arrive.
Parks, cabins, resorts and tour stops shown in their setting: the river, the dunes, the town nearby. Guests book more easily when they can picture where they're staying.
The same view from the same point at each stage, so you can show clients, funders and the community how a build, fit-out or subdivision is moving.
Crowds, stages and site layout from above for event promotion, sponsor reports and next year's ads. Any flight near a crowd follows the pilot's approvals.
Short aerial clips for website headers, reels and TV-style ads, cut to length for each platform. We pair them with ground footage when the story needs it.
Stills and clips exported for your website, social media, print and ads, with file names and alt text written so search engines understand what they show.

Janine GowenlockRegional DirectorMildura VICHow it works
You approve the shot list, the date and the quote before anyone flies.
A 30-minute chat about your site, what the aerial shots must show and where you'll use them.
We write the shot list, check the location and airspace with the pilot, and set a back-up date for weather.
A licensed specialist we work with flies the shot list, with ground shots added where the story needs them.
We edit the stills and clips, then deliver files sized and named for your website, social media and ads.
How we work
We're a marketing agency, not a drone operator. We decide what the aerial shots must show, write the shot list and book licensed specialists we work with to fly. They handle the flight plan, the airspace checks and the safety rules. We handle the marketing side: the brief, the edit and the files.
CASA's standard operating conditions keep most drone flights below 120 metres and within the pilot's line of sight. They also limit flights to daylight and keep drones at least 30 metres from people who aren't part of the job. Sites near an airport, a crowd or a busy street may need extra approvals, so we check your location first and tell you what's possible before you commit.
Planned on the ground, flown by licensed specialists.
What's included
Drone shoots are quoted to the job, because travel, flight time, location approvals and editing vary. Editing and video asset work is $160 + GST an hour, quoted first. Wind and rain can move a shoot day, so we agree a back-up date when we book.

All FAQsAerial shoots are priced to the job, because flight time, travel, site approvals and editing all vary. We quote after a free 30-minute discovery call. Editing and video asset work is $160 + GST an hour, quoted first. One site with a short shot list costs less than several locations with video, and a remote location adds travel for the pilot.
Drone videography is filming moving footage from a camera carried by a remotely piloted aircraft. It's used for aerial reveals, flyovers and tracking shots of a site, a route or an event. As a drone videography service, we plan the shots, book the pilot and cut the clips for website headers, social media reels and ads.
Videography with drones adds height and movement that a ground camera can't. Think of a slow rise over a building, a glide along a river or a sweep across a paddock. It's weaker at close detail and interviews, and it depends on weather and airspace. Most good business videos mix both, so we plan aerial and ground shots together.
Businesses with something large, spread out or scenic to show use them most. That includes farms and wineries, caravan parks and resorts, builders and developers, real estate agents, tour operators, councils and event organisers. If customers understand your business better from above, aerial images usually earn their place on your website and in your ads.
Three kinds of companies use them. Businesses commission aerial images for their marketing. Operators and production companies fly for them. And some industries use drones on the job, such as surveying and agriculture. A drone photography company sits in the second group. We sit between the first two: a marketing agency that plans the shoot and books licensed operators.
Yes. Every flight is done by a specialist we work with who meets CASA's rules for commercial drone work. In Australia, anyone flying a drone for business must register it with CASA. They also need operator accreditation or a remote pilot licence (RePL), depending on the drone and the job. That's the standard for professional drone photography.
Sometimes, with the right approvals. CASA restricts flights near controlled airports, over people and in some built-up areas, and extra permissions can take time. We check your location with the pilot before we quote. If ground photography will do the job just as well, we'll tell you before we quote and arrange that instead.
You get the use you need, set out in writing before anyone flies. Copyright in commissioned photos and footage can stay with whoever made them unless an agreement says otherwise. So tell us every place you'll use the footage (website, ads, TV, print) and for how long, and the agreement will cover all of it.
Let’s start by scheduling a free discovery call so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit for your marketing needs.
