Welcome to SpinUp Solutions - commercial drone consulting¶

I am here to help you solve problems so you can get the job done. Anyone with professional drone experience will tell you the flying is often the easy part. Mission planning, permitting, equipment reliability, and data processing are easily 90% of the challenge. Let me help you with that.

About¶

Tap into my 10 years of experience safely and responsibly flying drones in complex airspace carrying high value payloads including:

RGB
Thermal/IR
Hyperspectral
Topographic LiDAR
Bathymetric LiDAR
RTK and PPK GNSS

I go to the trade shows, test the gear, and meet with the vendors so you can focus on the big picture without getting lost in the weeds.

In addition to my FAA Part 107 certification I hold a FAA Private Pilot certification.
