Flying for Farmers

     At Vagabond Photography we get asked to participate in all sorts of different projects some are big and grandiose while others seem small and simple but they all are a big deal to our clients.

     Earlier this spring we were asked to fly a burning silo for a client, they wanted to see the condition of the roof because they could not climb the ladder due to the danger from the heat from the fire being produced by fire inside and not knowing what it had done to the structure of the silo itself. In the video itself you can see a few puffs of smoke coming out of the cracks in the silo roof and its vents. Apparently from what the farmer explained a few days prior there was heavy smoke coming out of the top.

Tip:

     It was an interesting flight to say the least even though it only lasted for a few minutes but we learned something about our drone while we were in the air flying close to the metal roof on the barn and the steel silo. If you get too close it messes with the internal compass of the drone and asks you to recalibrate but the moment you move further away from the steel/metal objects everything goes back to normal.
