We use professional drone equipment flown by highly trained commercial airline pilots turned drone pilots with 200+ hours of FAA Part 107 flight time.
Drone technology allows for a safer, faster, and in many cases, less expensive way to perform tasks previously completed with airplanes and photographers, people putting themselves at risk climbing to dangerous elevations, or those investing many hours of walking construction or undeveloped land sites for construction and surveying data gathering, management and reporting.

Worked with Jason and V1Drone for b-roll and scenic shots for an upcoming high profile event! Not only were the shots great, Jason's attention to detail and solutions to potential problems, made him a pleasure to work with. He knew the city of Cleveland well and added his creative touch for the many locations we visited to capture the city in all its glory! Highly recommend using Jason for your future drone needs.

Jason Damman at V1DroneMedia was an absolute pleasure to work with. He travelled between 10 of our large industrial sites throughout Michigan over 2 days to capture scores of drone images. He coordinated with various team members in 3 counties at critical times to achieve complex shots and never missed a beat.
From planning to field work to the delivery of final products, he performed as a seasoned professional. I would recommend him to anyone.

Really enjoyed working with Jason of V1DroneMedia on our production shoot for our curb ramp videos for ODOT. He is a very skilled and safe operator of the Drone used to take aerial video and photograph. Jason was well prepared and obtained authorization with the FAA at each site prior to flying the drone. The video quality is clear and camera positioning for each shot was excellent. We filmed at several sites throughout Cleveland for the day, switching from photograph to live ground video to live aerial. Jason was well prepared, and setup was seamless. He also delivered all the media files within

We were in Ohio recently working on a Nat Geo project with Jason. He was a consummate professional. Truly a level above many drone pilots. He's highly attuned to the needs and demands of his clients and takes his business seriously and with good humour.
I'd happily recommend him to anyone, ( and will be ).

Jason's an expert drone pilot who loves a challenge when it comes to creating great visual imagery. He's also very willing to work out the best shots, instead of just grabbing something/anything to fill the time. I've used him on both corporate videos and commercials, and he's excelled on both. Highly recommended!

So we find ourselves days before our car show- 600 plus cars 2000 plus guests, 1400 burgers, 900 hot dogs and 16 cases of beer and our scheduled drone guy cancels- Yikes. We call PIXEL Connection for a referral and they send us to Jason Damman and V1DRONEMEDIA. What an exceptional referral it was. Jason came to our show, worked his butt off and delivered to us an exceptional piece of video that we are thankful to have and very proud of. We would highly recommend Jason for his professionalism, the quality of his work and his partnership in our project and show. Many thanks Jason and we highly recommend

Only a professional pilot could fly as well as Jason flew his video drone and he is a professional pilot. His sense of content, proportion, depth perception and camera motion are exceptional. His post-editing skill is superlative, including effectively merging sound tracks. The results are breathtaking and his pricing very reasonable. Now I'm looking for other ways to employ his skills because they provide effective marketing and information tools.
