Drone Roof Inspection – Agent Marketing Idea

Drone Roof Inspection

This 4k video is showing my first use of my Yuneec Typhoon Q500 drone to look at a friends San Diego home’s roof for any problem areas.

This video was taken using my GoPro Hero4 Black edition, attached to my new Yuneec Typhoon q500 G model drone.

With forecasts of the heaviest California winter rains in 50 years, it’s a prudent idea to check your roof for problem areas. So, when showing my friend the capabilities of the new Typhoon UAV, he asked if I would fly it over his roof so he could see what condition the tiles were in.
