Ever wonder what it takes to deploy two enterprise drones for a day in the field? In this first episode of our Behind the Build series, Al walks you through how we organize, protect, and transport our two DJI Matrice 400 RTK drones before every mission. From batteries and controllers to accessories and storage, every piece of equipment has a place. Good organization isn't just convenient—it helps us work efficiently and protects the investment we've made in delivering dependable aerial data to our clients. Whether we're supporting construction projects, engineering firms, public safety agencies, utility inspections, or commercial property owners, preparation starts long before the drones leave the ground.

Not every drone mission goes according to plan—and that's exactly what happened on this solar facility inspection. In Episode 2 of our *In the Field* series, we head out with the DJI Matrice 400 RTK to inspect a solar facility. Strong winds quickly become the biggest challenge, forcing us to make real-time decisions about flight safety, data collection, and when it's time to call it a day. Commercial drone operations aren't about taking unnecessary risks. Sometimes the most professional decision is knowing when conditions aren't right to continue. Follow along as we show what real drone operations look like, including the planning, flying, decision-making, and lessons learned in the field.

Before you build, it's critical to understand what's hidden in the terrain. In Episode 3 of our In the Field series, we're using the DJI Matrice 400 equipped with the Zenmuse L3 LiDAR sensor to scan more than four acres of raw land. The goal isn't just to create a point cloud—it's to generate real-world data that helps estimate excavation costs, cut-and-fill volumes, drainage, grading, and overall site preparation before construction ever begins. We walk through our RTK setup, LiDAR mission planning, Digital Terrain Models (DTM), Bare Earth Models, point clouds, and how this data helps developers, builders, engineers, and property owners make informed decisions. Whether you're planning a custom home, commercial development, or simply want to understand how enterprise drone technology is changing construction, this episode gives you an inside look at the workflow professionals use every day.

What happens when two FAA Part 107-certified pilots fly two DJI Matrice 400s at the same time? In Episode 4 of our In the Field series, Al and Suzanne head to Ohio to capture aerial data for adjacent Walmart and Sam's Club properties using dual DJI Matrice 400 RTKs equipped with Zenmuse P1 cameras. You'll see how we coordinate two simultaneous mapping missions, maintain safe aircraft separation, plan efficient flight paths, and reduce project time by operating as a husband-and-wife drone team. Along the way we discuss: • Flying dual enterprise drones • RTK workflow • Safe drone separation • Mapping busy commercial properties • Heat management on 100° days • Why redundancy matters • Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) • Professional drone operations Equipment Used • DJI Matrice 400 RTK • DJI Zenmuse P1 • DJI RTK Base Station • DJI RC Plus Controllers CHAPTERS: 00:00 Mission Overview 00:40 Launching Two DJI Matrice 400s 02:10 Why We Fly Two Drones 04:20 Flying Walmart & Sam's Club Together 06:10 Husband & Wife Pilot Team 08:05 Staying Safe Around People 10:40 Planning Drone Separation 13:30 A Day in the Life of Commercial Drone Pilots 17:20 Weekly Solar Projects 20:10 Camera Gear & Fireworks Photography 23:00 BVLOS Explained 27:20 Coordinating Dual Drone Landings 30:10 Mission Complete ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚁 THAT DRONE GUY USA Real Data.
