About

Jed Kohnen, Drone Pilot.

I have a passion for all things that fly and I bring this dedication to all of my work. For many years I have attached cameras to anything that I could think of: drones, motorcycles, and people, pretty much anything that moves. I love to be at the forefront of technology as a technical builder of aircraft and drones. I avidly follow the uses of cameras and image stabilizing technology. For the past 12 years I have been working professionally as a drone pilot and UAV developer/builder. Most recently, I have been working with a local company developing the systems for large area mapping and smart autonomous aircraft. Putting all of these skills together gives me a greater understanding of what it takes to both create stunning images and remain safe while flying the aircraft.

My company offers a full range of high-quality aerial photography and aerial videography services in the greater Bay Area and Northern California. We specialize in the more complex aspects of custom 2D & 3D mapping, search and rescue, and agricultural mapping. We also offer technical services in construction, property inspection & real estate aerial photography, video editing and indie film. We also love aerial photography and collaborative artistic projects.

We listen carefully to your needs and specifications and have a customized and systematic approach to each project. Flying in and around the city is not an issue. We have a safe and proven methodology, provide the required Visual Observer staff, and are fully insured.

I am a licensed & insured drone pilot (Part 107 exemption holder) and a veteran professional RC pilot with 35+ years experience. I fly, build, and develop prototype standard fixed wing & multirotor (drone) aircraft models of all shapes and sizes as well as some full-scale subjects. In addition to drone piloting, and training other pilots, my professional experience is in autonomous UAV prototype development & testing, specifically for aerial videography and photography. I do what I love and I bring my enthusiasm to every project.

I am interested to hear about your project. Please feel free to look through my portfolio and contact me here.
