Professional drone services.
Chief Pilot Jim is a really nice guy!
Jim is a wealth of knowledge about all things drones
His enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge is matched only by his boundless energy and imagination for discovering new ways of employing drone technology into an ever widening scope of commercial applications
It's been a fascinating phenomenon to witness and its been a professionally edifying experience to be granted a front row view of this burgeoning industry
Any time you need a VO, Jim.... you've got my number : )
Drone flying and instruction may be his primary specialties, but in addition Jim Bonnardel has been very generous with his time, talent and expertise to those in the UAS world.

Jim is a passionate and knowledgable expert. He is also a great guy. Highly recommend taking a drone class with him. He was in on it early and the experience and expertise shows.
I worked with Jim to shoot one of my client's properties up for sale in Alpine, CA. Jim was an absolute pleasure to work with and will continue to be Property Pano's go-to pilot for aerial stills and videography. He paired well with the photography and Matterport virtual tour we produced for the client. Thanks Jim!!!

Jim provides excellent education, resources, and connections for men & women in the drone industry. He’s had countless success stories and have helped many people, young and old, inspiring people of all ages to participate in the drone industry and see how high they can fly. You inspire us all and thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
I met Jim as an instructor when I attended a course at the Grossmont College to advance my skills and expertise as a public works consultant / Engineer.
Subsequently in the process I learned that Jim possessed superior knowledge and skills in flying various unmanned aircraft systems and platforms for, data collection and processing which, could also be applied in surveying , mapping, improvement project planning and implementations among many.
More, I learned that Jim beyond his technical and management expertise is also a very ethical, honest and good human being. This certainly has been evident in his commitment to his students during Covid 19 as he has provided continued education where and when possible to insure their success in spite of academic school closures. Its always refreshing when a party to a contract holds up the highest standards in doing business in good faith, with the success of the client as his goal.
I confidently recommend Jim Bonnardel for your professional imagery needs to insure the highest levels of professional outcome.
