Her ya go, I do 30 to 45 Roof and building inspections a month, I work in Insurance litigation. It is my job to prove the loss so my client can get the money they need to fix the damages. I fly mainly Miami area. Residential and Commercial High Rise.
I dont use anything other than the
EVO 2 Pro 6K and
Evo 2 8K.
You dont need anything special other than keeping proper logs, MANDATORY 107 certified, and practice your flying skills and abilities. ( I DO LITERALLY mean practice everything the usual drone pilot does not do, slow, low and close, very, very close as optical zoom will distort building cracks etc.)
Sensors are your enemy - get use to flying with all sensors off as you dont want the thing landing or stop and bump, get use to flying through tight areas and get use to ensuring your gear is up to date and perfect.
I clear my SD card after every use and store the flights in seperate folders. You can PM me if you want but over 40 hours logged and I only dinged a prop once in a tree. You also need to be able to identify all roofing manufacturers types of roof etc. / siding etc.
You will like the precision mode and slow flight. Practice video quality-no herky jerky moves. EXP down to .2 and yaw to 85% works for me when not in Precision - your preferences may differ.
Average report and video and photo documentation is $350.00 per file. You will need liability policy coverage for 1 Million.
Your best source will be Insurance companies (they are my opposing side) / Law Firms that work in the homeowners 1st and 3rd party claims. Public Adjusting Firms and Estimating Service Companies. Accuracy and writing skills are essential.
Good Luck.
