We are a brand-new charitable trust, Te Toi Mahana. We engaged NZ Drones at very short notice to provide aerial footage of our housing. It was essential to us that our tenants could go to our brand-new website and see their communities reflected in the images on our home page.
The footage provided was very high quality and gave us several options to choose from, allowing us to rotate content regularly. NZ Drones was great to work with from start to finish. We received this wonderful feedback from one of our tenants this week after our website went live “The drone video in the background on the home page is outstanding. I can't stop watching it!”.
We would highly recommend NZ Drones and the team.
- Angelique Jackson - Chief Executive , Kaiwhakahaere Matua
