Nicholas Drone Service (NDS) provides real estate photography (residential and commercial); inspection services for roofing, cell towers, power lines, and more; and weekly, monthly, and even daily construction progress reports.

We offer safe aerial photography and cinematography as a licensed drone pilot operating under rule CFR Part 107 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other state guidelines. We are your local drone service provider in Danville, Virginia: acquiring photos, video, inspections, data collection, events, fly throughs, and more.

You've visited this site for aerial or drone photography. As a Part 107 licensed drone pilot, NDS could acquire footage within a day or two, for a fraction of the price and as a safer alternative to manned aircraft. Even when airspace restrictions stand in the way of drone flights, NDS has experience in acquiring the appropriate waivers in these hard to fly, more sensitive areas. Nick holds current waivers to operate in most of the Danville Regional Airport's (KDAN - Class E Surface) restricted airspace.

As a drone service provider, Nicholas Drone Service provides a solution that can be delivered in high quality .JPEG (or .TIFF, .PNG, .LAZ, .LAS and others) images via a cloud based service or physical thumb drive, in most cases, within 24-48 hours. Check out our product missions page for details.

We're located in Danville, Virginia and service a wide area to include Roanoke, Lynchburg, Martinsville, South Boston and North Carolina; Greensboro, Raleigh, Durham.
