Blue Dragon Video provides aerial and walkthrough video services for residential listings in Canton and Metro Detroit, combining smooth footage with professionally edited video that’s ready for MLS, your website, and social media.
In competitive areas like Canton, Plymouth, Northville, and surrounding communities, drone video helps your listings stand out by highlighting lot size, neighborhood features, and proximity to parks, schools, and shopping in a way photos alone can’t.
Yes. All flights are conducted under FAA Part 107 commercial rules, and we carry appropriate liability coverage for professional work in Michigan.
Our Deluxe package includes on‑site filming with our drone and camera system plus professional editing that delivers about a one‑minute video optimized for MLS and online marketing, designed for homes up to roughly 4,000 square feet and under a specified price point.
Most Canton/Metro Detroit agents book 5–7 days in advance, especially during busy spring and summer markets, but we’ll always do our best to accommodate tight timelines—even next day appointments are available for Strategic Partners who receive priority scheduling.
In most cases, edited listing videos are delivered within 3–4 days, although rush work can be made available in 24–48 hours after consultation with the editor at a nominal additional charge of $25.
After the shoot via a secure download link, with an option for a digital thumb drive when requested.

A business highlight reel is a one‑ to two‑minute video that showcases your local business—storefront, interior, services, and team—using a mix of aerial and ground footage. It’s ideal for small businesses, churches, and organizations in and around Canton that want a strong video for their website, social media, or presentations.
Yes. We’ll talk through your goals, ideal customers, and key visuals (signage, interior, staff, customers, etc.) and build a simple shot list so shoot day is efficient and focused.
We can provide aerial coverage for certain outdoor events in parks, church grounds, or open spaces, as long as the location and airspace are safe and legal for drone operations. We’ll review your event details, location, and timing in advance to confirm what’s possible and whether any restrictions apply.
Drone operations must follow FAA rules and local restrictions, which may affect flying near airports, stadiums, or dense crowds. We handle airspace checks and safety planning and will let you know up front if your event location requires adjustments or prevents us from flying.
We offer basic visual inspections such as roof overviews, property condition checks, and general “eyes in the sky” looks at hard‑to‑reach areas for homes and small properties in the region.
No. Our inspection flights provide high‑angle visuals, not professional structural or safety evaluations. You can share the footage with your preferred home inspector, roofer, or contractor so they can make more informed assessments.
We’ll ask for the address, what you’re concerned about (for example, roof, gutters, chimney, or general condition), and who will meet us on‑site. Any known safety issues (loose debris, nearby trees, etc.) are helpful to share ahead of time.
Real estate follows clear package pricing like the Deluxe package, while business highlight reels, events, and inspections are quoted based on planning, shoot time, and editing complexity. We’ll give you a simple, written proposal before you commit so there are no surprises.
You can reach out through our website contact form, email, or phone, and we’ll be happy to talk through your listing, business, event, or inspection needs before you schedule.
