If you want people to stop scrolling, you need to show them something they haven’t seen before.
Enter drone video — the ultimate scroll-stopper for your next social media ad.
From real estate agents to restaurants, brands everywhere are taking advantage of the sky-high perspective.
Here are 7 creative ways you can use drone video to make your ads pop.
📸 1️⃣ The Epic Flyover
Nothing says “wow” like a smooth flyover shot.
Use a drone to glide over your property, event, or outdoor space.
Whether you’re promoting a new housing development, a golf course, or a vineyard — an aerial flyover gives viewers context and scale instantly.
🏡 2️⃣ Neighborhood Showcases
Realtors, listen up: buyers aren’t just buying a house — they’re buying the neighborhood.
Use drone footage to highlight local parks, walking trails, schools, and nearby attractions.
Pair that with upbeat music and neighborhood facts to create an irresistible community vibe.
🎉 3️⃣ Events & Grand Openings
Hosting a grand opening or outdoor event?
Capture the excitement from above.
A quick drone swoop over a crowd, a ribbon cutting, or a festival can be turned into a 15-second teaser reel for Facebook and Instagram ads.
Instant FOMO.
🍽️ 4️⃣ Restaurants & Outdoor Venues
If your business has an outdoor patio, rooftop bar, or scenic location — show it off!
A short aerial reveal of a busy outdoor dining scene or a sunset rooftop party will catch eyes fast.
🛠️ 5️⃣ Construction Progress Updates
Contractors and developers can use drone clips to share build progress.
Turn time-lapse aerials into sponsored posts to update investors and attract future clients.
Show your audience that you get the job done — and make them want to follow along.
🏖️ 6️⃣ Travel & Tourism Teasers
Hotels, resorts, and Airbnb hosts: drone footage of your destination can be gold for social ads.
Highlight beaches, pools, mountain views — and make your audience wish they were there right now.
A well-placed drone shot can boost bookings, guaranteed.
🎯 7️⃣ Behind-the-Scenes or Surprise Angles
Don’t be afraid to get playful.
Drones aren’t just for wide shots — fly low through an empty venue, swoop through an entryway, or pull back dramatically to reveal your product or space.
Unconventional angles spark curiosity and clicks.
💡 Tips for Maximum Impact
✅ Keep it Short: Social ads perform best under 30 seconds. Use drone shots as the hook.
✅ Add Captions: Most people scroll with sound off — overlay text so your message is clear.
✅ Square or Vertical: Edit your footage for Reels, Stories, and TikTok. The DJI Mini 4 Pro’s vertical shooting makes this easy.
✅ Test Different Hooks: Try a dramatic reveal, a surprise pull-back, or a slow spin — see which grabs attention.
