Drone services
Drone services. Precisely executed.
I capture hard-to-get perspectives for wind turbine inspection, infrastructure surveys, research flights, and cinematic FPV footage—planned with a control engineer's mindset for safety and repeatability, backed by a Transport Canada Pilot Certificate – Advanced Operations.
Missions I fly
From structured inspections to cinematic one-takes, each flight is designed around a clear objective, with safety margins and regulations built in from the start.
Aerial inspection & documentation
High-resolution passes for wind turbines, structures, rooftops, and other hard-to-reach assets.
Survey-style mapping & research flights
Carefully planned trajectories for research experiments, data collection, and site overviews.
Cinematic FPV & creative shoots
Dynamic FPV footage of environments, people, and motion in creative ways.
The fleet
A compact, tuned set of platforms I actually fly—from research frames to FPV drones.
The exact platform depends on your project—from FPV work to stable GPS-based inspection flights.
X500 V2 Research Platform
Holybro X500 V2 quadcopter frame used for PX4/ArduPilot research, control experiments, and hardware-in-the-loop tests.
DJI Avata 2 FPV System
Ducted cinewhoop-style FPV drone from DJI, capturing stabilized 4K ultra-wide video for immersive fly-throughs in tight indoor and outdoor spaces.
Radiomaster Boxer RC
Compact, ergonomic radio transmitter (ExpressLRS) that provide reliable, low-latency control links for research platforms and FPV flights.
DJI Remote Controller 3
Dedicated DJI Remote Controller 3 used with Avata 2 for precise, low-latency stick control and camera framing during cinematic flights.
Portfolio
Footage from the field
Cinematic and FPV aerial clips captured across various locations and conditions.
Service area
Drone services across St. John's & the Avalon Peninsula
Based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, I provide on-site drone services—aerial inspection, mapping, aerial photography, and cinematic FPV video—throughout the St. John's metro area and surrounding communities. Travel for larger projects across Newfoundland can be arranged.
FAQ
Drone services — frequently asked questions
Common questions about hiring a certified drone pilot in St. John's and Newfoundland.
Do you offer drone services near me in St. John's, Newfoundland?
Yes. I'm a Transport Canada certified drone pilot based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, offering on-site drone services across the St. John's metro area and the wider Avalon Peninsula — including Mount Pearl, Paradise, Conception Bay South, Torbay, and surrounding communities. For larger projects I can travel elsewhere in Newfoundland.
Are you a licensed and certified drone pilot?
Yes. I hold a Transport Canada Pilot Certificate – Advanced Operations. That supports both basic and advanced RPAS operations in Canada. If a project falls outside the standard basic or advanced rules, I assess whether an SFOC-RPAS is required and plan that approval path before the flight.
What types of drone services do you provide?
I provide aerial inspection and documentation, wind turbine inspection, orthomosaic and survey-style mapping, cinematic and FPV aerial video, aerial photography, and UAV research/data-collection flights. Each project is planned with a control engineer's mindset for safety and repeatable results.
How much do drone services cost in Newfoundland?
Pricing is project-based and depends on the type of work (inspection, mapping, or video), site location, flight time, and the deliverables you need. Share a few details about your project and I'll send a free, no-obligation quote.
What areas do you serve?
I serve St. John's and the surrounding Avalon Peninsula, including Mount Pearl, Paradise, Conception Bay South (CBS), Torbay, Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove, Pouch Cove, Witless Bay, Bay Bulls, and Holyrood. Travel for larger projects across Newfoundland and Labrador can be arranged.
Can you inspect wind turbines and infrastructure with a drone?
Yes. With 4+ years of UAV research and development experience, I fly close-range, repeatable inspection profiles for wind turbines, rooftops, towers, and other hard-to-reach assets, and deliver high-resolution imagery suitable for engineers and maintenance teams.
How do I book a drone pilot or request a quote?
Use the contact form on this site or message me directly with your location, the type of drone service you need, and your timeline. I'll reply with a flight plan and quote tailored to your project.
Ready to plan your next flight?
Share a bit about your site, constraints, and goals. I'll design a flight plan and capture package tailored to your project, whether it's inspection, research, or storytelling.
