RVCOG continues to advance its drone services program. We recently purchased two additional drones to offer additional services including infrared imaging. Other services we offer in addition to photo and video include 3-D modeling, inspections, solar panel analysis, life cycle modeling (repeated flights tracking the progress of construction and restoration projects), overlaying potential and historic plans for sites with drone imagery in addition to video production and aerial photography.
High resolution cameras can take photos and videos for a wide application of uses. Possibilities include inspections, mapping transportation projects and pipelines, and documenting construction projects and riparian restoration projects over time.
Drones can be operated up to 400 feet above ground level following guidelines of the FAA’s 107 B rules.
