The instruction-pitch Drone & Aerial Photography brief
There is no single template for drone aerial on a instruction pitch, but there are patterns we return to. Estate agents pitching a vendor for an instruction want visuals that put them ahead of the other two agents through the door — the shoot is scoped for the pitch, not the launch.
Captured
What comes back
- Hero exterior at best light
- Interior signature frame
- Dusk hero
- Vendor-facing PDF layout
- Optional aerial for premium plots
Brief
How the pitch brief runs.
CAA-licensed flights with a sub-2kg airframe inside congested-area permissions. Three strong frames beat a full pack — the pitch is a short, decisive read.
Constraints
What shapes the shoot
- •Turnaround has to fit inside the pitch window — usually 48 hours from the appraisal.
- •The pitch pack is one hero, one interior, one dusk — not a full portal set.
- •Vendor-facing imagery lands as a PDF, not portal-ready files.

FAQs
Questions we hear
How quickly do you turn a pitch pack around?
48 hours from appraisal is standard; a 24-hour rush is available at a premium.
Can vendors see the images before they commit?
Yes — the pitch PDF is a vendor-facing artefact by design.
Can you fly in Manchester?
Yes — flights in Manchester are planned under OSC permissions, with NOTAMs filed where the M1 district sits inside controlled airspace.
Do you need permission to fly near Beetham Tower?
Anything near Beetham Tower requires a pre-flight risk assessment; we coordinate with the relevant landowner and Manchester City Council where ground access is needed.
How long does a typical Manchester aerial shoot take?
Most Manchester commissions are wrapped on-site in under two hours, with edits returned inside 48 hours.
