Frisco and Plano have grown into a business and family hub north of Dallas, with corporate campuses around Legacy, master-planned neighborhoods spreading toward Prosper and Celina, and parks and trails threaded between them. Aerial imagery here is often about what surrounds a home or a building: the schools, the greenbelts, the shopping and the commute. Stoop 360 plans each flight to show that context clearly.

Frisco and Plano from above

New construction and master-planned communities. Builders and sellers across Frisco, Plano, Prosper and McKinney use aerials to show amenity centers, pools, trails and how a lot fits into its neighborhood. While a community is still filling in, a series of flights can document its progress for marketing.

Corporate campuses and commercial projects. Around Legacy West, the Dallas North Tollway and the Sam Rayburn Tollway corridor through Frisco, companies need clean establishing shots of headquarters, retail and mixed-use projects. A planned aerial sequence gives a brand film or a leasing deck a strong opening.

Parks, sports and community life. From Arbor Hills Nature Preserve and Oak Point Park in Plano to the districts around The Star and Toyota Stadium in Frisco, aerials show the lifestyle that draws families north of Dallas.

Celebrations close to home. Event venues, country clubs and private estates across both cities suit an aerial opening for a wedding film or a milestone party. Our event drone videography guide explains how to plan coverage that works.

Airspace in Collin and Denton counties

Much of Frisco and Plano sits outside the controlled airspace that blankets central Dallas, but not all of it. Addison Airport's control tower manages airspace that reaches into southwest Plano, and McKinney National Airport has its own tower to the northeast. Where an address falls inside controlled airspace, we request FAA authorization, usually through LAANC. Where it doesn't, Part 107's other rules still apply: visual line of sight, altitude limits and no flights over people who aren't involved in the shoot.

Neighborhood rules count as well. Many communities here have HOAs and shared common areas, so we launch from your property or another permitted spot and keep the drone from lingering over neighbors' yards. If you're comparing pilots, our guide on how to hire a drone pilot lists the questions worth asking.

Frisco & Plano drone FAQ

Do you need FAA authorization to fly in Frisco or Plano?

It depends on the address. Parts of Plano fall inside Addison Airport's controlled airspace, and areas around McKinney National Airport do too. Many Frisco neighborhoods sit outside controlled airspace at drone altitudes. We check every address and request authorization through LAANC when it's needed.

Can you photograph new homes in Prosper, Celina and McKinney?

Yes. Stoop 360 flies across Collin County and the surrounding area, including the fast-growing communities north of Frisco.

Does my HOA need to approve a drone shoot?

The FAA regulates the airspace, but an HOA can set rules for launching from common areas. We usually launch from the property being photographed and avoid hovering over neighbors' homes. If your HOA has a drone policy, share it and we'll plan around it.

Can you film corporate campuses around Legacy West?

Yes, with the cooperation of the property owner or manager. We plan launch points, timing and flight paths around people and traffic, and confirm the airspace for the exact location.

Are you insured?

Every flight insured. Each shoot is covered by liability insurance, with a certificate of insurance available on request.
