Drone photography and videography has become a standard part of property listings, event highlight reels, construction progress reports and brand marketing across Singapore, and a proper commercial shoot means more than owning a drone: the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) requires an Operator Permit, an activity permit for the specific flight, and a licensed pilot for any flying done for payment. The eleven companies below cover real estate, weddings and events, mapping and technical inspection, and cinematic brand work, and each was checked against its own website. Treat this as a shortlist to compare, not a ranking, and confirm current services and permits directly with the provider before booking.

1. AerialPhotography.SG

AerialPhotography.SG is one of Singapore's longer-running dedicated drone operators, stating it has held a CAAS drone Operator Permit since June 2015, among the first in the country, with its pilots holding the Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Licence. The company focuses on real estate and hotel marketing, maritime and shipping subjects, and broadcast and TVC work, and says its footage has appeared on Singapore and international television as well as in corporate videos. It describes having worked with the majority of major Singapore property firms on listing and marketing imagery. Its long history and property-marketing focus make it a natural first call for agents and developers who want stills and video from one team, though turnaround and pricing are worth confirming directly.

2. APVT Media

APVT Media (Aerial Photography & Video Technology) is a Singapore drone specialist with what it describes as over a decade in drone operations, working across real estate marketing, close-proximity cinematic filming, technical inspections of structures such as chimneys, power lines and flare stacks, events, and 3D aerial mapping. It says it is CAAS-licensed and secures the necessary activity permits for each job, and counts local and international MNCs among its clients. Its stated specialty is close-proximity, low-altitude flying around structures rather than only wide establishing shots, which suits industrial and inspection briefs as well as property listings. The broad service list makes it worth asking exactly which pilots and equipment would be assigned to your specific brief.

3. Skyshot

Skyshot is a Bendemeer Road production house that has run aerial and drone filming since 2013, and it says it has completed more than a thousand projects spanning construction and infrastructure monitoring, corporate media, documentaries and television. Beyond standard aerial photography and cinematic drone filming, it offers longer-term construction-progress monitoring and photogrammetry, 360-degree VR documentation, and production support such as coordinating international film crews on location in Singapore. The company describes its team as award-winning, citing honours at festivals including Los Angeles, New York, Stockholm, Atlanta, Sundance and Cannes. That mix of creative filming and technical monitoring suits clients who want a cinematic reel and a recurring site-progress record from one operator, from a one-off shoot through a multi-month contract.

4. WetheFlyers

WetheFlyers is a Lavender Street operator that pairs commercial drone photography and videography with its own pilot-training academy, including SkillsFuture-accredited courses for adults and programmes for children and teens. On the commercial side it covers cinematic filming up to 8K with hyperlapse and 360-degree work, real estate marketing, corporate and celebration events, and engineering-related aerial inspection. It says its pilots are CAAS-certified and that it handles permit applications and flight planning as part of the service, through to editing and delivery. Past clients named on its site include Mediacorp, Gardens by the Bay and the Ministry of Education, pointing to experience with institutional bookings. The training-plus-production combination is a useful sign of in-house depth, though smaller shoots should confirm pricing upfront.

5. SnapX

SnapX is a Selegie Road studio built specifically around drone work, covering cinematic aerial filming, real estate and topographic photography, event coverage, 360-degree virtual tours and technical inspection work such as vessel paintwork checks, building facade surveys and bridge-crack documentation. It says its pilots hold the Unmanned Aircraft Pilot Licence and that the company holds an operator's permit from CAAS, and it carries public liability insurance for its flights. It also runs tethered-drone operations for jobs needing extended flight time over one spot, such as live event coverage or ongoing inspection. The company describes its directors as award-winning without naming specific prizes on its site, so ask to see a matching portfolio rather than relying on that description alone.

6. Flyht Studio

Flyht Studio positions itself as an advertising-photography and drone-filming studio rather than a general events vendor, and it points to external recognition: the national prize at the Sony World Photography Awards in 2020, a runner-up placing in 2019, and honourable mentions from the International Photography Awards. Alongside aerial photography and videography, it offers motion-control camera equipment and remote-control camera cars for ground-based commercial shoots, plus AI-assisted video content creation, suggesting a studio built for polished brand and advertising imagery rather than documentation work. Its site doesn't spell out how long it has operated or list specific inspection or mapping services, so it suits a marketing campaign wanting an award-recognised creative eye rather than a technical survey.

7. The Daily Creative

The Daily Creative is a Singapore video-production company, registered as The Daily Creative Group Pte Ltd, that runs drone videography and photography alongside its wider production work. It covers real estate and property visuals, event and corporate coverage, construction documentation, and industrial and government projects, offering footage up to 4K. The company states that all its drone operations are flown by licensed UAPL pilots in compliance with Singapore's aviation rules, though it doesn't publish specific years of operation or named client work on this page. It reads as a generalist video studio that treats drone footage as one deliverable alongside ground-based filming and editing, which can suit clients who want a single production partner rather than a specialist aerial-only vendor.

8. MIRS Innovate

MIRS Innovate is a Macpherson-based drone company, established in 2017, that says it has completed more than a thousand projects, including over 250 drone light shows. Its core commercial work spans construction-progress monitoring, 2D and 3D mapping, building and confined-space inspections, and aerial video production and photography, backed by a drone academy and an authorised DJI Enterprise dealership. It holds CAAS approval as an Unmanned Aircraft Training & Assessment Organisation, which covers its training arm rather than being a claim about every commercial flight it conducts. Government agencies, schools and private firms appear among its listed clients. The scale and mapping depth suit larger construction or infrastructure briefs more than a one-off marketing shoot.

9. SG Drone Inspections

SG Drone Inspections is a technical inspection and survey specialist rather than a marketing-photography studio, covering building facades, roofs and cladding, industrial sites such as refineries, storage tanks and pressure vessels, confined-space and thermal-imaging work, telecom towers and power infrastructure, and marine hull and subsea surveys, plus construction-progress monitoring and site surveying with scan-to-BIM output. It states it operates under CAAS permits, carries a stated one-million-dollar public liability insurance policy, and aligns its reporting with SAC-accreditation standards. It describes serving sites across Singapore, from Jurong Island to Changi. This is the provider to call when the deliverable is a structural or safety report, not a highlight reel; its site gives no sign it takes on real estate-listing or wedding-style bookings.

10. Aerolion Technologies

Aerolion Technologies is an engineering-led outfit that grew out of the National University of Singapore's Unmanned Systems Research Group, based at the Singapore Science Park near Kent Ridge. Rather than photography or events, it builds and operates small UAVs for technical problems: autonomous stock-counting drones for warehouses, and inspection drones for sewerage, drainage and subway tunnels and for buildings, including craft designed to fly in GPS-denied or obstacle-rich spaces such as tunnels and confined shafts. It states it is registered with CAAS and has taken part in drone policy discussions with the authority. This is a specialist choice for facilities and infrastructure teams needing inspection data from hard-to-access spaces, not a vendor for property listings, weddings or brand videos.

11. JC Drone Surveyors

JC Drone Surveyors is a Singapore aerial specialist that leans into a surveying background, with its site citing a UK Civil Aviation Authority qualification and RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) accreditation for its team. Its work spans commercial aerial photography and videography, facade and shipping inspections, commercial and private estate surveys, 3D mapping and thermal imaging, alongside event coverage and drone-with-operator hire. That surveying pedigree makes it a reasonable option for building-condition or estate-inspection work where a chartered surveyor's eye matters, rather than only a creative shoot. Its page doesn't reference a CAAS permit directly, so anyone booking commercial work should ask to see current local permit and insurance documents rather than assuming from the UK qualification alone.

How to choose

  • Match the operator to your brief rather than picking on drone footage alone: a property listing, a wedding highlight reel, a construction-progress record and a brand film call for different skills. Ask to see a finished example in the same category you need, since a studio strong on cinematic filming may not be the right pick for a technical inspection job.
  • Commercial drone flights in Singapore need a CAAS Operator Permit, a specific activity permit for that flight, a licensed pilot and third-party liability insurance. Some providers state this on their site; where one doesn't, ask to see current permit and insurance documents before confirming a booking, especially for flights near buildings, roads or crowds.
  • Check who arranges site-specific approvals. Flying over a condominium, construction site or event venue, or near restricted areas such as airports and military installations, can need the property owner's or authority's own sign-off on top of the operator's CAAS permit, and approval can take weeks, so raise this well before the shoot date.
  • For inspection, survey or mapping work, ask exactly what you receive: raw images, a processed orthomosaic map, a 3D model, a thermal report or a written structural assessment are different deliverables with different turnaround times. Confirm the file formats and whether a qualified surveyor or engineer reviews the drone data before handover.
  • Get a written quote covering on-site flight time, a weather-related rescheduling policy since wind and rain regularly ground drones in Singapore, editing and post-production, the number of revisions included, and usage rights for the final images or footage, so nothing is assumed once the invoice arrives.
