Free services
At A Shot Above we often times offer our aerial photography services FREE to local non-profits and local Emergency/Law Enforcement services. If you’d like your non-profit or Emergency/LE Group to be considered* please contact us to schedule an appointment. We are also working with local EMS to be able to provide some degree of “support” for Search & Rescue (SAR) operations.
*Each request is evaluated on a case by case basis. Free service is not guaranteed.
New Technology
At A Shot Above we are commited to using the latest and most advanced equipment available. This is a very new and rapidly changing technology and our goal is to move forward and grow at the same pace as much as is possible. As new technology is released we hope to be able to expand our service offerings as well. If you have an idea for something you'd like to see "from above" please feel free to contact us and if we can do it safely we will make it happen.
