Our roots are deeply intertwined with drone technology, dating back to our establishment in Chicago as “Robo Aerial” in 2014. This was during a time when aerial drone cameras were still finding their wings, before regulations and widespread usage became the norm. We soared above other drone photographers with high resolution images and video content showcasing local Chicago cityscapes and global brands. Our collection of Chicago drone photography and aerial media is nearly comprehensive.
