We Have a Way to Deliver Aerial Media for Your Project, Just Ask!
We have spent 10+ years developing specialized workflows and drone services for media capture, asset inspections, construction sites, and mapping.
Media Capture and Production: If you have thought it we have shot it! Movies, TV shows, documentaries, commercials, commercial real estate, backplating, 3D modelling, post-production project videos, aerial virtual tours, and more.
Drone Inspections: We have inspected many critical infrastructure assets like wind turbines, power lines and electrical infrastructure, building facades, bridges, cell towers, dams, railways, roofs, flare stacks and solar panel inspections. We provide high-resolution imaging, often backed by Ai to detect damage or inefficiencies.
Construction Sites: We offer progress monitoring via drone, site management media, live-stream timelapse services and 3D mapping. We help site staff and project managers see things from a different perspective. This helps them make better choices on site.
Mapping and Surveying: Yes, we use the best drones and survey receivers to create very accurate maps. Not just any maps. We have a first-in-Canada Aerial-AutoCAD workflow. We deliver survey-grade mapping images with geoferenced line work directly to our clients desktops. Our Aerial-AutoCAD linework drone services streamline land development planning and as-built drawing creation. This is better than traditional surveyor drawings because our line work is layered on on geoferenced images of your site. You simply open the files we provide on your desktop and get to work!
Professional Drone Services - Media Capture, Inspections, Construction Sites, and Drone Mapping
We worked with Recon Aerial for a drone scout to prepare for a film shoot – Brian was exceptional to work with. Both their drone work and project management was top-notch in the industry. We will absolutely hire them again.

Ethan
Excellent work; Brian was careful and attentive to what I was after for my independent film, and then executed the commission with creativity and a good eye. Highly recommended.
Ross Turnbull
We used Recon Aerial to capture images during the inauguration of a new Distribution Center in Guelph, ON, and from the initial contact to the end of the mandate, Brian was very professional. The images were taken outside of the building and inside were of very high quality and Brian and his teammate were all ears to the directions we gave them. The event involved high-level guests, including Ontario’s Prime Minister. His security team was in complete trust even though the drone had to fly in the same room while he was doing a speech at the lectern. I highly recommend Recon Aerial for any corporate video needs.
Sylvain Mayo, Pro-Staging
Wow!! Thank you Brian for capturing the beauty of our family farm property with your amazing aerial video.

Ben Rivera
Brian is very professional and was amazing. I needed some work done with the drones in specific areas, he not only got the work done but suggested other areas that were extremely helpful and he went over and above to help us. Likewise, he responds to calls and emails very quickly. If your looking for a reliable and dependant person look no further Brian and Recon Aerial is your way to go.
Sarria Family
Brian was friendly and extremely helpful.
Nick Assad
We had a project that was on a very short timeframe. Brian was too busy at the time to take on our project. But he went above and beyond to provide alternatives to help us do what we needed to do. He certainly didn’t have to do that, but he did. Which very much speaks to his character and the integrity of his business. I won’t hesitate to use Brian and Recon Aerial’s services in the future.
Jordan Nicoluss
We had the pleasure of working with Recon Aerial on our latest feature and we would definitely recommend their service. Brian is passionate about his work and he demonstrates that through his work. Even with the schedule changes (which will occur often when you’re waiting for that perfect day) and various requirements, Brian was patient and would even provide professional advice and suggest certain shots to maximise the possibilities. We really appreciate their time and help. Until next time!
Isabelle Primeau
Great experience working with Brian! He helped capture my dad’s land beautifully with his work. Would definitely recommend!
Megan
We had a fantastic experience working with Brian as he captured work being performed on our construction site downtown Toronto. He was very organized and thoughtful in his planning, taking extra precautions to address our particular safety needs. He arrived on site early, staying attentive despite long hours and plan adjustments, capturing all the various shots we’d hoped to. The video Recon Aerial produced is spectacular, a work of art. Many thanks Brian!
Laura Henderson
Brian did an awesome job with our capture and followed instructions perfectly. I definitely recommend Recon Aerial for drone services!

Reid Paxton
Our company hired Recon Ariel to put together a promotional video to showcase our snow removal operation. They came out several times during the day and night and worked extremely hard to gather footage for us. The video they put together for us was better than I could ever imagine. This company went above and beyond to make this project a success and I would highly recommend them to anyone. We look forward to continuing to work with Recon Aerial and Brian in the future!
Dan Lanthier
Thanks David, we appreciate the feedback and it was great working with JLL.

Caitlin Johnston
Great company to work with— As a customer, you always want a service provider to put your needs first and Recon aerial does just that. I had to change my wedding date several times due to COVID-19, Recon Aerial was always accommodative; something one doesn’t always get from vendors. Up until the day of my wedding, all formal dealings were done via email/phone and there was no single second I felt like I was not being well taken care of. Thank you Recon Aerial for your wonderful work— highly recommend this company for all video needs.
Peter Nshimiyimana
There are lots of drone companies out there that could have completed our project but Recon Aerial (Brian) made all the difference. Everything from the proposal, the attention to detail, process, communication to personality. Recon Aerial was top-notch!
Intiaz Rahim, 3D Design
Our commercial real estate company has hired Recon Aerial a few times now to take drone photos for our listings. We’re always very impressed with the quality of photos we receive as well as the quick turnaround time. Brian at Recon Aerial was a pleasure to work with and would definitely recommend his services!
Amy Ruffner, JLL
Working with Brian and the Recon Aerial team has been a pleasure over the last 1.5yrs. We have used their services for Building Envelope investigations at a variety of existing high-rise buildings throughout the City of Ottawa. The video footage is of excellent quality and allows for our staff to complete successful and detailed visual reviews without the safety risks and costs associated with scaffolding or swing stages. – CEL Team
Capacity Engineering
Worked with Brian to get some building footage in the middle of winter. He was flexible enough to capture some great shots in one of the few windows when the conditions allowed for it. Very happy with the results.
Max Cordeau-Andrews, Akelius
I had a concept that required aerial shots of the university campus with a quick turnaround. I contacted Recon Aerial when I was doing research on local drone companies. From the get-go, I was very impressed with not only the depth of experience this company had but also with the owner’s (Brian Stoneman) professional approach. As it turned out we not only used them for the aerial footage but also third-party animation and project management of the introduction video. The video came to life as I envisioned and the experience was nothing but positive.
Sally Babson
Recon Aerial (Brian) has provided amazing service to our Circle K team in Central Canada. His videos and pictures are of great quality and Brian always strives to make sure that he is providing the best to us. He is always looking to improve his shots and he takes the effort to learn our business so that he will understand exactly what we’re looking for in these videos. We have been using his service for over a year and continue to do so just because of the sheer quality and professionalism Brian brings to the table. Highly recommended!
Joel John, Macs Convenience
Recon Aerial was great to work with. They were very professional and eager to make sure we got all of the data we needed to meet our goals. Brian is very personable and friendly as well.
Jessica Robertson, Wild Craft
I would like to say that Brian at Recon Aerial is a wonderful person to correspond with. He is truly a professional in this business. My aerial video was completed in a very swift timely manner.

We used Recon Aerial to help with a land survey. The end product was great – and included a 3D model & topographic heat map, the price was good, and working with Brian was great. I definitely recommend Recon Aerial.
Jeff Byles
Brian is a fantastic pilot and great to work with. He brings amazing energy to each project!
Chris, Photolux
This is the first call I make when my company needs drone footage. Brian and his team are safe, secure, and by the book. Why does that matter? Well when it comes to making sure Transport Canada is happy with me, he fills out all the paperwork and makes me look like a superstar with my clients…
Stacyi, On Brand
Brian and his team are very professional and the visual quality is really excellent. Several TV series made with them and I recommend Recon Aerial Media both for their corporate services as for media movies and television series. (Original) Brian et son équipe sont très professionnels et la qualité visuelle est vraiment excellente. Plusieurs séries TV faites avec eux et je recommande Recon Aerial Media tant pour leurs services corporatifs que pour médias films et séries télévision.
Marie Carole, Various TV Series
If you need drone footage Brian and his team will be able to execute the job for you. I was very impressed with how easy is was to contact and book a film slot with Brian. Recon was able to capture the major completed milestone for our 6 story hotel project and our clients very pleased with the professionalism. I look forward to using Recon Aerial Media for future projects.

Luiz, New Holland Tractors
We had a complicated site to cover for aerial photography and video. Brian was able to deliver more than needed. We highly recommend Recon Aerials’ professional services in Ontario and Quebec.
Jon, Cicada Designs
Really happy with the professional and expert work that Brian did for us! We came to Brian with a concept but came out with something even better than we had hoped, all because he asked a few questions and made some suggestions. Brian is also competitively priced and we found that he went over and above for us!
Can’t recommend them enough!
Jesse Anna
We knew from the beginning we were dealing with a professional company that takes their work seriously. It was quickly clear as we reviewed the footage that you understood what we needed and took the time to get creative. From one production company to another, thanks for the quality visuals!
Cole Bennett, Portage Media
Thank you! Recon Aerial did a great job! The service was fast when I needed it, I appreciate it.

Drone photography is creative, and fast becoming a standard opening up a whole new world of possibilities for your visuals!
