Jacksonville + the SoutheastFAA-aware planning
What is Drone Jax?

Drone Jax is a Jacksonville-based aerial visual production company providing professional photography, video, project progress, mapping, and inspection imagery for clients across Northeast Florida and the Southeast.

What are drones and sUAS?

A drone—also called an unmanned aerial vehicle or small unmanned aircraft system—is a fixed-wing or rotary aircraft operated remotely. The platform allows us to create perspectives and repeatable documentation that would be difficult or expensive to capture from the ground.

Do your aircraft run on fuel?

No. Our aircraft use high-performance rechargeable batteries rather than gasoline or aviation fuel.

Are you insured?

Yes. Appropriate liability coverage is maintained for commercial operations, and project-specific documentation can be discussed during planning.

How much experience do you have?

Drone Jax has been operating commercially since 2016, with years of experience planning safe flights and producing useful visual assets for property, construction, hospitality, events, destinations, and infrastructure.

What areas do you serve?

Our core service area includes Jacksonville and the First Coast—Duval, Baker, Clay, Nassau, and St. Johns counties—plus select work in Southeast Georgia. We are also available for travel when a project calls for it.

How do you handle privacy?

We respect privacy and capture only what is needed for the agreed project. Drone Jax does not perform unlawful surveillance, and every mission is planned around responsible, professional operating practices.

Can you fly anywhere?

No. Airspace, airports, temporary restrictions, people, structures, and local site conditions can all affect whether and how a flight may be completed. We review the location in advance and pursue required authorization when the mission allows it.

Does weather affect the schedule?

Yes. Wind, rain, visibility, and severe weather can affect both safety and image quality. Conditions are monitored before and during the mission; if the weather is unsuitable, we coordinate the best available reschedule window.
