Drone footage is one of the most powerful ways to elevate your project. But before you hire someone just because they “have a drone,” it’s important to understand that not all drone operators are created equal.
At Post Script, we take aerial work seriously. All our drone pilots are FAA-certified, we carry specialized insurance, and we do our homework on no-fly zones and flight regulations. That’s the difference between professional drone work and someone who’s flying for fun.
Here’s why working with us is the safer, smarter choice:
FAA-Certified Pilots Know the Rules—and Follow Them
These days, anyone can buy a drone. But not everyone can fly one legally for commercial use.
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) requires drone operators to hold a Part 107 certification for any kind of paid work. This certification ensures pilots understand airspace classifications, weather conditions, flight restrictions, and how to safely operate a drone in a variety of environments.
When you hire an uncertified operator, you’re not just cutting corners—you’re potentially exposing your project to liability and legal trouble. If something goes wrong, you could be held responsible for working with an unlicensed contractor.
We’re Insured—They Probably Aren’t
Let’s say a drone crashes into a car, a person, or private property. Who pays for the damage?
When you work with our company, we do—because we carry specialized drone insurance. This gives our clients peace of mind, knowing that any risks are covered.
Most amateurs don’t invest in this kind of coverage. And if something goes wrong on their watch, you may be stuck with the bill—or worse, facing a lawsuit.
We Check Airspace and No-Fly Zones Every Time
There are strict limits on where drones can and can’t fly—near airports, over crowds, or in restricted zones. Violating these rules can lead to heavy fines or federal penalties.
Before every shoot, our team checks:
- Local and federal flight restrictions
- Temporary no-fly zones (like event or emergency areas)
- Nearby obstacles or hazards
- Permits or approvals that may be needed

Bottom Line: Don’t Risk Your Project on a Hobbyist
It may be tempting to hire someone who offers cheap drone footage because they happen to own the equipment. But when you factor in legal compliance, insurance coverage, flight safety, and professional quality, the choice is clear.
Your project deserves more than “a guy with a drone”. It deserves a partner who knows what they’re doing.
