An alternative to navigating the technical, legal and insurance challenges of buying and operating your own unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, or drone), is to hire your aerial photography from a service that uses them.
Thanks to a growing number of drone-for-hire services and online brokers created to put you in touch with unmanned aerial system pilots, you can get the benefits of aerial data-acquisition without the hassle.
Google "hire a drone" or any number of variants and you’ll find plenty of options.

- SkyCatch’s WorkMode
- DroneLife’s JobForDrones
