Helicopter Photo Flights

Do you need a very low level shot? Helicopters allow the photographer to get down to very low levels, as low as 100 feet and less. Planes usually stay at 1000 feet or higher. This low altitude makes for very dramatic photos. Helicopters are very maneuverable, and can maintain slow speeds at low levels. They are the preferred “platform” for aerial photography. When is a helicopter better? When you want to combine the target with the background, in order to show the feel of the place. When you want to show the foreground, as in a waterfront home on the rocks, to also give a feel of the place. And when you need to get low, to get as much detail as possible in a shot. Helicopters give the photographer more available options to get the best photo for your home or office.


Helicopters are more expensive than their fixed wing counterparts, both to buy and to rent. Aerial photo flights, using a helicopter as a platform, start at $600, which includes travel time. For an exact quote for a helicopter photo flight, please use the contact form to get in touch with us.

"Dave from Maine Imaging was very responsive and pleasant to work with. His aerial photos of Unity College came out great. He coordinated the flight with the weather and the location of the sun to determine the optimal time for the photos. We are very pleased with the outcome and will certainly contact Maine Imaging again in the future when we are ready for our next aerial photo."
Kristina Williams - Unity College
