How we work

Operator-first, not gadget theatre

You get a real person in Waikato, a clear quote, and imagery you can hand to a builder, electrician, or farm consultant.

Published, upfront pricing

Every service shows a starting price +GST on this site. We confirm access, weather and what you need before we fly, so there are no surprises on invoice day.

Thermal done properly

Matrice 4T radiometric capture at 640×512 native, with Super Resolution up to 1280×1024 when finer detail helps the call.

Honest turnaround

Weather and processing time are real. We give practical timelines and usually reply the same weekday — not a 24/7 helpdesk promise.
