It's been a few months now since I began my journey into the professional thermal drone business and there has been a common theme among all of my customers. They're absolutely shocked by the amount of equipment I bring when they ask for my help!
I believe most people are expecting a guy with a drone and a remote controller to show up and stand there playing with a controller.
When I show up it's an interactive experience and everyone is involved, I bring the best in thermal drone technology, with the drone I own I can spot squirrels and raccoons through tree canopies at 400 feet in the air and spot cows, dogs and deer from across fields. The drone has a spotlight built into it for night operations and a 112x telephoto zoom using three different non-thermal cameras also built into the drone. This is the same technology that law enforcement and search and rescue professionals use.
I also bring a 24" monitor in a ruggedized case so that everyone is involved and able to watch the recovery unfold, this also allows my customers to see things that I may miss during the search.
Fun fact, a lot of times my customers see their deer or pet before I do! I'm focused on flying, maintaining awareness of where my drone is, obstacle avoidance and finally scanning, they get the big screen and see it all.
Finally I bring a large portable battery backup generator which can power all of my equipment and charge my batteries for hours of uninterrupted flying.
I love what I do and I love watching the shock on my customers faces when they see just how powerful this technology is.
