Construction companies will find that using a drone to photograph their projects can set them apart from the competition. Some of the many uses of drones when used by construction companies include:

• Progress photos, including before and after comparisons
• Aerial photos and videos for portfolios 
• Building inspections
• Marketing purposes
• Virtual property tours
• And many more!

Contact Southern Oregon Drone today to learn more about how we can help your Oregon Construction Company stand apart from the rest!

Southern Oregon Drone will be heading up to Bend, Oregon to work on some drone photography, so we're asking you this: where are the best places to get aerial photos? Before you say Smith Rock, drones are not allowed to fly there, which makes sense because no rock climber wants a drone buzzing around while they are working on a route. But what about other landmarks near Bend where drone photography would not be invasive?

Please comment or contact us to let us know!

SEMINOLE, FL (WFLA) — A smoky brush fire in Seminole was put out Monday. It broke out near Osceola High School, in a wooded area across 98th Street. Firefighters are crediting a man with a drone for helping them get crews and equipment to exactly the right spot.

In this case, the dense woods made it difficult to pinpoint where they should send the dozer, or brush truck.  The drone helped them keep the four acre fire from spreading. Eagle 8 spotted the drone, helping firefighters. The drone owner gave firefighters a look at what they were up against. He flew the drone over the fire, allowing them to plot an attack.

“Actually it helped us make our decisions on how we want to fight the fire. To be defensive in nature and we saw the topography of the land, how dense the vegetation was and it was practical or not to get units back in there,” said Brad Dykens of Seminole Fire Rescue.

Bert Seither is a drone fan and pilot. He’s excited about the drone helping at this fire, and what they could do in the future. “I think, a great benchmark that we can take as a society that drones are very helpful. Can be very helpful when used properly,” said Seither.

In this case, using the drone’s video, firefighters decided to let the fire burn itself out. “I think we’re probably gonna see fire departments across the country starting to ask for these in their budget,” said Seither.

8 On Your Side wanted to know if a drone is in the future at Seminole Fire Rescue. “We’d like to down the road, we’ll have to look into that for sure,” said Brad Dykens.

“I think we’re probably gonna see fire departments across the country starting to ask for these in their budget” said Seither.

8 On Your Side wanted to know if this drone flight was legal. We spoke to attorney Brant Hadaway from the website DroneLaw.com. He said the drone pilot at the fire likely falls under the hobbiest category. The attorney said the Fire Department must have FAA authorization. The FAA is looking at changing the rules, but for now they can’t fly a drone without approval.

Phantom Vision 2 + Features and Specs are located here

This Phantom has never been crashed, dropped, smashed, or otherwise banged up in any way. The props have sliced through nothing but clean air, and the motors run very smooth. It has been immaculately maintained, and is like new. The batteries have been kept out of extreme temperatures, and the drone itself has never been flown in dust, clouds, fog, or any other kind of damaging precipitation. This is an excellent kit for someone who explores outdoors and needs lots of batteries in an convenient backpack to film and photograph their adventures away from power sources. 

The investment will cost $999 and for those of you within the Rogue Valley, it will include a free lesson on how to setup, calibrate, fly, photograph, and film using the drone. For those of you wishing to purchase this setup from further away within the lower 48 states, instead of a lesson you will receive free shipping. 

This entire rig, brand new, would cost upwards of $1,500... plus shipping :)

SOLD

*Original box not included if the drone must be shipped, sorry!
