My name is Jon Berkemeyer and I have over 3 years and 1000 hours at the controls of DJI Phantom Class quad-copters. I'm experienced with a variety of subjects such as real estate, industrial sites, construction and transportation infrastructure.
Why exactly is drone photography important to your business? It's simply the most cost effective, quickest AND safest way to acquire aerial views of your business interests. Update your investors and business partners on the construction of your new building. Inspect a bridge or stretch of railroad track faster than dispatching a crew to the scene. Eliminate the liability of having your employees on ladders to inspect your customer's house to find out how badly the tree from their neighbor's yard damaged their roof. With real time imaging transmitted from the drone to the control station, instant analysis of almost all situations is possible. Turn around of still and video images can happen the instant the drone lands. This will allow you to move on insurance claims or repair plans within hours, not days.
It is critical that you only hire FAA commercially licensed drone pilots. The Federal Aviation Administration has ruled that any drone operating in any aspect of the continuation of a business must be flown by a person holding a part 107 drone license. The penalties are severe (starting at $25,000 per violation) and administered not only to the unlicensed pilot flying, but the business who hired that pilot as well.
As a licensed FAA Part 107 drone pilot, I am fully capable all commercial drone based photo or video needs. Since all prospective drone operations have their unique characteristics and needs, I personally quote each job on a case by case basis and would love to discuss your aerial imaging needs with you.
