Long Island Aerial Drone and Cinematography Services

FAA Part 107 licensed and insured pilots covering Nassau and Suffolk County, from Gold Coast estates to Montauk.

Xizmo Media is a New York City based aerial production company, and Long Island is one of our busiest coverage areas. Our pilots are out on the Island regularly for waterfront real estate listings, land surveys ahead of new construction, and film and event coverage on the East End. Every flight runs under FAA Part 107 certification, and every job is backed by commercial drone insurance.

We work as a full production partner rather than just a drone operator, so a Long Island shoot can pull in Cable Cam, Steadicam, or Techno Crane support alongside the aerial footage when a project calls for ground coverage too.

Where We Fly Across Long Island

Long Island runs nearly 120 miles from the city line to Montauk Point, and the work changes with the terrain.

North Shore & Gold Coast

Port Washington, Sands Point, Oyster Bay, and Cove Neck are dense with waterfront estates that need aerial footage to market at the right price. We shoot full-property flythroughs, shoreline and dock condition, and boundary lines for listings and appraisals alike.

The Hamptons & Montauk

East Hampton, Southampton, and Montauk bring luxury listings, weddings, galas, and film shoots that pick up every spring and run through the fall. We plan around beach access, private property lines, and the seasonal air traffic around East Hampton Airport.

Jones Beach & Fire Island

Barrier island work has its own logistics: wind off the open water, restricted airspace near the shoreline, and ferry-only access to most of Fire Island. We build the flight plan around those constraints before the crew ever leaves Brooklyn.

Nassau & Suffolk Counties

Away from the coastline, most of our Long Island bookings are land surveys and site progress shots for builders and civil engineers working new subdivisions, roadwork, and commercial sites across both counties.

Long Island Drone Services

Five services cover most of what brings clients to us on Long Island, from a single real estate listing to a season of event coverage.

Waterfront & Luxury Real Estate

Aerial photo and video packages built for estate and waterfront listings, where the lot, the shoreline, and the approach matter as much as the house. See our real estate aerial photography work.

Land Surveying & 3D Mapping

Orthomosaic mapping and 3D site models for builders and engineers ahead of permitting and during construction. Details on our 3D mapping process.

Cinematography & Film Production

Cinematic aerial shots for film, TV, and commercial shoots on the East End, paired with Cable Cam, Steadicam, and Techno Crane support when a scene needs ground coverage too. More on our aerial cinematography services.

360° VR

Immersive 360-degree aerial capture for estate tours and event recaps that a standard photo gallery can’t match. Learn more about 360 VR production.

Weddings, Galas & Events

Discreet aerial coverage for Hamptons weddings and galas, timed around the ceremony and reception so the footage doesn’t interrupt the day.

Why Xizmo Media

Xizmo Media flies out of a home base in Brooklyn and covers the tri-state area on a daily basis. We’re a regular presence in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, and the same crew and equipment travel out to Long Island for every job we book there.

Coverage extends across the Hudson too: the team handles broadcast cinematography in New Jersey and real estate aerial photography in New Jersey, so a production or listing that spans the tri-state area stays with one crew from start to finish.

Every pilot is certified under FAA Part 107, every flight is covered by commercial drone insurance, and equipment ranges from compact drones for tight estate lots up to heavier rigs for film work that needs a longer flight time or a heavier camera payload.

Because the same team handles land surveying, cinematography, and real estate work citywide, a Long Island client gets pilots who already know FAA airspace rules around East Hampton Airport and the seasonal restrictions near the shoreline, not a subcontractor learning the area for the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Long Island Drone Services

Do you cover both Nassau and Suffolk County?

Yes. We book jobs across both counties regularly, from Port Washington and Great Neck on the western end out to Montauk on the eastern tip. Travel time factors into scheduling for jobs further out on the East End, so it helps to book those a bit further in advance during peak season.

Are your Long Island drone pilots licensed and insured?

Every pilot we send out holds an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, and every flight is covered under our commercial drone insurance policy. Estate managers and production companies can request a certificate of insurance ahead of the shoot.

Can you combine a land survey with real estate photography on the same visit?

Often, yes, if the site and the shot list allow it. We’ll ask about both needs when you first reach out so we can plan one flight instead of scheduling two separate visits.

Do you need a permit to fly drones for weddings or events on Long Island?

Private property generally doesn’t require a separate permit, but some parks, beaches, and venues have their own drone policies. We check the specific venue before the event date so there are no surprises for the couple or the planner.

How long does it take to get finished files after the flight?

It depends on the service. Real estate photo sets usually turn around fastest, while 3D mapping data and full cinematography edits take longer because of the processing and editing involved. We give a timeline specific to the job when we quote it.
