Join us for an exhilarating day in the life of a skilled drone pilot as we take you on a journey of a day in the life of a drone pilot/entrepreneur. We will follow around Kyle New, the CEO and Founder of Full Time Drones for a day of inspections in the power line utility industry, as well as commercial real estate scans and building models. Prepare to witness the incredible capabilities and applications of the DJI M300, Matterport 2 Pro, and Mavic 3 Enterprise drones in action.

In this VLOG series, we'll be exploring the world of professional drone piloting, where innovation and technology come together to redefine how we perceive and interact with our surroundings. From soaring heights to intricate details, Kyle showcases the diverse and realworld applications of these advanced drone systems in various industries.

Discover the power and precision of the DJI M300 as it performs utility inspections. Equipped with the Zenmuse H20T, we will be inspecting critical infrastructure. We will also emphasize the importance of safety protocols and responsible drone use in such critical operations. This episode will feature LAANC authorizations and learning to understand sectional charts, as well as safety while operating on busy roads.

Next up, we venture into the world of building scans using the remarkable Matterport 2 Pro. Witness how this stateoftheart 3D scanning solution revolutionizes the architecture, real estate, and construction industries. The seamless integration of the Matterport 2 Pro with our drone allows for dynamic aerial and indoor data collection, resulting in immersive and accurate 3D models of buildings. We'll explore how this technology enhances architectural planning, virtual tours, and real estate marketing.

Last but not least, we dive into 3D modeling with the agile and precise DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise. Watch as Kyle executes a mapping flight plan, capturing aerial imagery to generate highfidelity 3D models of buildings. The Mavic 3 Enterprise's intelligent flight modes and software tools simplify data collection and processing, making 3D modeling more accessible to industries like architecture and urban planning.

Throughout this adventure, we'll also share insights into the training and expertise required to become a skilled drone pilot, ensuring that these cuttingedge technologies are wielded responsibly and effectively.

Prepare to be amazed by the endless possibilities enabled by drone technology in utility inspections, building scans, and 3D modeling.
