About Pinnacle Drone Solutions
Certified pilots. Local crews.
Pinnacle Drone Solutions is a commercial UAV company delivering professional aerial photography, mapping, surveying, and inspection for construction, industrial, and energy properties in Texas. We fly missions engineered to produce usable data — not just footage — under real jobsite constraints, real airspace, and real reporting deadlines.
From marketing photography and construction progress mapping to photogrammetry, thermal inspection, LiDAR, and oil and gas surveys, our crews focus on the fundamentals that determine deliverable quality: flight planning, sensor choice, overlap and ground sample distance, and documented processing.
Austin and Dallas are staffed by local FAA Part 107 crews operating to the same standards, documentation, and safety expectations — so a facilities team with sites in both metros gets one consistent experience.

View serviceHow we work
A five-stage delivery process
Predictable execution from first briefing to processed deliverables — documented at every stage.
-
01
Mission briefing
We walk the site or review plans, confirm airspace, access, and the data you need before quoting a flight window.
-
02
Scope & proposal
You receive a written scope with sensors, coverage area, deliverable formats, and pricing — typically within 48 hours.
-
03
Flight planning
We file authorizations, set ground control if required, and coordinate with site safety so operations stay open.
-
04
Capture
Certified pilots fly the planned grid or inspection path with the specified camera, thermal, or LiDAR payload.
-
05
Deliverables & handover
Imagery, orthomosaics, models, and reports are processed, QA'd, and delivered with a documented closeout.

Client feedback
Trusted by owners and facility teams
Pinnacle flew our jobsite on a weekly cadence and the progress maps made owner meetings straightforward. The team was professional, on time, and easy to work with around our crane picks.
We needed thermal and visual inspection across a plant without a shutdown. Pinnacle handled the flight planning, delivered annotated reports, and stayed inside our site safety rules.
Great experience from briefing to delivery. The aerial photography and orthomosaic were sharp, and the Dallas crew made it simple to get the data our engineer asked for.
FAQ
Procurement questions, answered
How quickly can you provide a proposal?
Most commercial proposals are delivered within 48 hours of the mission briefing. Multi-site or specialized sensor programs may take slightly longer because each location is scoped for airspace, access, and deliverables individually.
Can you fly while our jobsite stays open?
Yes. We plan flight windows around active work, coordinate with site safety, and keep crews and equipment out of the operating area. Dawn, dusk, and weekend windows are available in both markets we serve.
Are your pilots FAA certified and insured?
Every mission is flown by FAA Part 107 certified remote pilots with commercial liability coverage. We complete vendor onboarding, insurance certificates, and safety documentation for GCs, energy operators, and property managers.
What deliverables do we receive?
Typical packages include high-resolution stills, video, orthomosaics, 3D models, thermal reports, or LiDAR point clouds depending on the service line. Formats and accuracy targets are written into the proposal before we fly.
Do you handle sites in both Austin and Dallas?
Yes. Ownership groups and contractors with properties in both metros work with a single point of contact while local crews execute to the same standards and reporting format.
What is the difference between photography and photogrammetry?
Photography and video are visual assets for marketing, progress, and documentation. Photogrammetry processes overlapping stills into measurable maps and models. We recommend photogrammetry when you need quantities, elevations, or a comparable site record over time.
