Marketing and Custom Flights

A drone's photos and videos can provide dramatic aerial views that are unmatched compared to those taken from the ground. These aerial shots can be used for commercials, websites, presentations, social media, printed materials, and much more. This aerial footage can be a whole new marketing strategy or added to your existing marketing to complement what you already have in place. The possibilities are almost endless when you use Flightfield Drone Services, LLC.

 

FDS is excited to offer custom flights. These flights range from locating lost livestock to checking golf course irrigation and irrigated agriculture. If you can think of something you need an aerial view of in RBG or thermal, we can help!

 

When winter storms hit and livestock is missing, time matters. Using a vehicle or four-wheeler to track them down is time-consuming and can cause additional issues with the search. Having FDS fly your fields takes a fraction of the time it would take to fly them by land. There is no need to follow paths or open gates. With our thermal sensor with 8x zoom, we can see in total darkness and to great distances to help locate livestock before it is too late. With a high-powered RGB zoom lens, we can identify cattle by brand or ear tag at a great distance. The photo below is a side-by-side comparison of a herd of cattle approximately a half mile away. On the left is the thermal imaging, and on the right is the RGB camera. These photos were taken simultaneously with the same sensor. While using this drone, owners can stay comfortable in their vehicles while viewing the flight in real-time on an HDMI-compatible device. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In some cases, it may be enough to simply launch the drone and ascend to a few hundred feet to locate them immediately. Depending on the weather, this drone can stay in the air for up to 40 minutes and fly at speeds up to 50 mph. Below, you can see an example of this drone's powerful zoom capabilities.

Agriculture Irrigation to Golf Course Irrigation

Using FDS to check your irrigation systems saves you time and could save you thousands of dollars in every field. This is true in everything from a section of land to an 18-hole golf course. Schedule FDS to fly your property and ensure your irrigation fully covers your needed areas. Farmers know how frustrating it is to pay for the electricity, fuel, and water to run their irrigation, only to find that several acres are lost due to malfunctioning equipment. That does not even include the land cost, seed, fertilizer, etc.  Want to monitor your fields when leaving your home? We can also fly your entire field and provide a photo stitched aerial photo to monitor crop production. Stay home and view your entire field on your computer or smart device.

 

Grass is the determining factor for a golf course. All year long, crews are maintaining the course. The health of your grass can make or break your course.  With FDS flying scheduled flights in early spring or continuously, our thermal cameras can capture where your irrigation heads are covering and where they are not. This can save thousands of dollars a year and help increase traffic when your course has lush, rough, and the greenest short grass. FDS can also provide photo-stitched aerial photos to capture an entire hole or the entire course in one image. This can be used for maintenance, marketing, scorecards, calculating areas, and much more.
