One company. Two ways to take flight.

Don’t just show it.
Fly through it.

Hire us to capture your project, or work with our FPV Academy to build your own drone and learn to fly. Two dedicated divisions of AK Aerial, each with its own services and inquiry path.

01 / Drone Services

We do the flying.

Hire drone operators for real estate, hospitality, motorsports, events, brands, or a project of your own.

02 / FPV Academy

Division 01 / Drone Services

Your project.
Our pilots.

Hire us to plan and fly your drone project, from immersive property tours to dynamic action films. Have another drone operation in mind? Tell us the task, location, and deliverables so we can assess the fit and quote the scope.

A different point of view

From a front door to a finish line, we capture the journey—not just the destination.

Our compact FPV cinematic drones go where traditional camera drones can’t. They can sweep through an entryway, glide between rooms, follow a drift car, and reveal an entire property in one continuous, energetic movement.

Oneseamless perspective
from inside to out

Drone Services / What we capture

Made to move.

Every flight is framed, directed, and planned around the character of your space, event, machine, or moment.

01
⌂

Real estate

Reliable, polished listing films that flow from curb appeal through the home and help buyers understand the complete space.

Special occasions

Turn a marriage proposal, secret birthday party, or personal surprise into a carefully planned experience and a film worth keeping.

Proposals · Birthdays · Surprises · Your idea

You imagine it. We frame it.

No off-the-shelf flight plans.

Bring us the beginning of an idea—even if it is unusual or not fully formed. With enough planning, there is a good chance we can shape it into something memorable, practical, and safe to film.

We turn the concept into a clear creative plan, then send it to you for approval. You can change it, add to it, remove anything that does not feel right, or take the idea in a completely new direction before filming begins.

YOUR IDEA→OUR FLIGHT PLAN→YOUR APPROVAL

Small drone. Big movement.

Built for proximity.

Compact, guarded FPV platforms unlock smooth passes through doorways, around subjects, and along demanding lines. The result feels less like watching a video—and more like being there.

How it works

From idea to final cut.

  1. 01

    Bring us the idea

    Email, call, or text with the location, the moment, and even the wildest version of what you are picturing.

  2. 02

    We frame the concept

    We shape the story, scout the route, choreograph the movement, and plan the flight around your goals and the location.

  3. 03

    You approve the plan

    Review our direction and ask for anything to be changed, added, or removed. Nothing moves forward until the concept feels right.

  4. 04

    We fly and finish

    We capture the movement and turn it into a polished cinematic piece made for sharing—or keeping forever.

Division 02 / FPV Academy

Build the drone.
Become the pilot.

FPV Academy / Lessons & instruction

Understand every wire.
Own every flight.

Learn by doing, with guidance shaped around your experience, equipment, and goals.

01

Build a quad

Learn the complete build process—from choosing compatible parts and soldering cleanly to assembly, setup, and the first safe power-up.

02

Know the hardware

Understand frames, flight controllers, ESCs, motors, receivers, VTX systems, cameras, antennas, batteries, and how every part works together.

03

Choose your video system

Compare analog with digital systems such as DJI, HDZero, Walksnail, and BetaFPV P1—then choose what fits your budget and flying style.

04

Learn to fly

Build real control from the fundamentals up, including safe practice, flight modes, line choice, recovery, and confident progression.

05

Find your discipline

Learn how racing, freestyle, and cinematic flying change the quad you choose, the way it is tuned, and how you approach every line.

06

Choose the right camera platform

Know when to use a prebuilt DJI cinematic drone, a GoPro-equipped cinelifter, or a compact whoop with DJI O4 and RockSteady stabilization.

FPV Academy / Custom quad builds

Your mission.
Your parts.
Your quad.

Every aircraft is hand-built to your specifications, whether you want an affordable analog setup, a premium digital system, a freestyle machine, a racer, a cinematic whoop, or a purpose-built cinelifter.

DETAILS

Component selection · Tuning · Setup · Custom finishing

Every final configuration is reviewed for component compatibility, intended use, and safe operation before parts are ordered.

Transparent build pricing

You see where the money goes.

01

Parts at vendor price

We do not mark up the hardware. Each component is billed at the price charged by the vendor we source it from.

02

Actual sourcing costs

Shipping attached to each vendor order is included in your estimate, which may make the parts total differ from a quick online parts search.

03

Labor is separate

Professional assembly, soldering, configuration, inspection, and testing are covered by a clearly stated labor charge.

04

Special requests are quoted first

Unique work—such as a shimmering black, Darth Vader-inspired custom finish—is reviewed and priced before we source the first component.

Our price promise

We discuss the complete concept first, send you a clear estimate, and wait for your approval. When a specialist sees a less expensive path that keeps the performance and reliability intact, we will offer it. Complex configurations receive additional team review so you get an informed recommendation—not a rushed guess.
