Founded in 2014, Extreme Aerial Productions, LLC is a professional aerial drone video and photography company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. The company works in all 50 states, is FAA-approved for commercial drone operations and backed by the best aviation insurance money can buy. Mr. Taylor’s years of expertise in the industry and top-of-the-line, advanced drone equipment means his clients always receive the most professional data, delivered in the form of high quality drone photography and videography. His drone operators have expertise doing drone TOPO’s, checking crops and collecting aerial data in a wide range of industries. Extreme Aerial Productions completes complex roof inspections and is now using drone technology to create engineering-grade design from LiDAR collection and photogrammetry, managed by their in-house geospatial team.
