TECH & EQUIPMENT

The gear behind every deliverable.

Drones, cameras, and scanners we fly and shoot with every week — plus the trusted partner network we call on for large-format laser scanning. If you're wondering what we'll actually show up with, it's all here.

Let’s Work Together

  • FAA Part 107 Licensed

    Fully insured drone operations

  • Southwest Michigan Based

    On site fast, no long travel days

  • In-House + Partner Network

    Matterport in-house, laser scanning on call

  • LiDAR Rig On the Way

    Drone LiDAR launching soon

We keep the in-house toolkit lean and reliable, and lean on a trusted partner network for the specialized, high-precision gear that doesn't make sense to own outright. Here's exactly what we fly, shoot, and scan with — and what's on the roadmap next.

WHAT WE OFFER

What we show up with

Drones

The fleet we fly week to week, matched to the job.

  • DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise — mapping, photography & video, our workhorse
  • DJI Matrice 4T — thermal inspections
  • DJI Mini-series — tighter spaces or lower-key jobs

FAA Part 107

Cameras

Two lenses cover almost everything we shoot on the ground.

  • Canon EOS RP + RF 16mm wide-angle — real estate, architecture, interiors
  • 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom — branding, people, detail shots

3D Scanning

In-house for everyday tours, partner network for survey-grade work.

  • Matterport Pro3 — (in-house) — virtual tours & space documentation
  • Leica BLK360 / Faro / Trimble X10 (partner network) — large-format, survey-grade laser scanning

Mapping & Processing Software

Turning raw flight data into a deliverable you can actually use.

  • DroneDeploy — orthomosaic stitching & 3D mapping
  • WebODM thermal ortho processing

Drone LiDAR (Launching Soon)

True point-cloud mapping alongside our existing photogrammetry workflow.

  • DJI Matrice 400 RTK + Zenmuse L3 — on order, point-cloud LiDAR mapping

Coming Soon

Survey-Grade GNSS Support

Ground control for projects where positional accuracy matters most.

  • RTK base station — joining the toolkit alongside the LiDAR rig

Coming Soon

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise for most photography, video, and mapping work, and a DJI Matrice 4T for thermal inspections. Both are flown under FAA Part 107 by a licensed, insured operator.

  • Our drone LiDAR rig (DJI Matrice 400 RTK with a Zenmuse L3 sensor) is on the way. In the meantime, we cover point-cloud-level detail through our laser scanning partner network and drone photogrammetry mapping — reach out and we'll walk you through what fits your project today.

  • Matterport scanning is done in-house. For large-format, high-precision laser scanning (Leica, Faro, Trimble hardware), we work with a trusted partner network rather than owning every piece of specialized equipment ourselves — you still get one point of contact and one deliverable.

  • A Canon EOS RP with an RF 16mm wide-angle lens for real estate, architecture, and interior work, and a 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom for branding, portraits, and detail shots.

  • Yes. All drone operations are flown under FAA Part 107, and we carry insurance for our drone and scanning work.

  • Accuracy depends on the equipment, flight plan, and ground control used for a given project. Tell us what the deliverable needs to support and we'll recommend the right setup — reach out through the form below.
