Clients and appearances include:

I hired SOD for some aerials we needed in the Pacific Northwest for a feature length documentary I'm producing called Life Love Dogs (now on Amazon Prime). Their reel was impressive and his comments via email gave me confidence that he was perfect for the job. 

They showed up to our location (a five hour drive) on time and prepared. It didn't take long for them to understand my needs and choreograph shots that I hadn't even thought of. Their pilot's skill as a licensed pilot of real aircraft was evident in his skill flying the drone. 

I would have no hesitation recommending Southern Oregon Drone for any aerial photography needs, they're a top notch pro.
