LUKE
Leica BLK360 Camera
Providing superior accuracy, the Leica BLK360 is the perfect tool for creating Point Cloud files, extracting architectural data (.e57 files, CAD, Revit, etc) to create renderings and virtual staging, and shooting complex exterior spaces.
ARCHIE THE ARCHITECT
Matterport Pro 3 3D Camera
With even greater architectural accuracy than its predecessor, the Pro 3 is an excellent tool for your architectural, engineering, and construction needs! When the extreme accuracy of the BLK360 is not necessary, the Pro 3 provides better visual data at greater speed to effectively capture data with limited site disruption.
PRISCILLA
Matterport Pro 3 3D Camera
The Matterport Pro 3 camera, newly released in 2022, provides the same excellent image quality as the Pro 2 with the added ability to scan exterior spaces and other challenging geometries previously unable to be captured with Matterport equipment.
VINCENT VAN PROGH

Whether for a real estate marketing effort, landscape architecture project, site survey, 200,000 SF industrial warehouse, parking lot study, or historical preservation effort, the Matterport Pro 3 is ready for the job!

Matterport technology offers superior image quality and seamless interactivity for the end-user, creating a digital copy of your space with endless use cases.

DJI MAVIC 2 & 3 DRONES
Part 107 Licensed, Fully Insured
We are Chicagoans - we have heated drone batteries and can operate in a variety of complex environmental conditions. Since everyone asks - YES we can fly drones indoors, but in most cases we think a Matterport tour is a better option so users can explore at their own pace. (We are able to create custom flythroughs from Matterport tours!)
NIKON DSLR CAMERAS
Architectural Photography
We understand it's inconvenient to schedule multiple appointments for your media, so we offer a one-stop shop for your real estate media needs including high-resolution professional photography. No, we don't do wedding photography. No, we don't do family portraits. We are very good at what we do, but our expertise is buildings, not people.
