Drone Benefits

Creative Aerial Imagery

Only in the last few years have drones been adopted for use as a tool for viewing our world in ways we were previously unable to. We are truly at the forefront of discovery for the many ways in which we will be able to use drones to tell our stories. There are so many stories our partners and collaborators want to share, from a beautiful vacation property in the mountains, to a wildlife habitat restoration project on the northern great plains, or a sheep shipping event on a ranch. The aerial imagery collected by drones is bound only by the imagination. We can help you create a beautiful unique story for what you are passionate about, and we can do it all with drones.

Our Team

Who We Are

Drones are no longer a novel technology. They are a tool to help us express our ideas and passions in visually stunning and detailed ways. As aerial photographers, our perspective of the world is always evolving. As drone pilots, we are continually learning and improving our flying techniques so we can tell compelling stories. Always maintaining our adherence to regulations and safety. We are invested in becoming the best pilots we can be.

Jason Hanlon

Founder

Life can be quite challenging at times. Fortunately for me I was rewarded with lots of life experience. As a union electrician in Boston for ten years, I learned the importance of a strong work ethic. Later, as a wildlife biology student at the University of Montana, I gained understanding of creative problem solving. Now, as a land steward and professional drone pilot, I am learning how important little details are in contributing to big picture thinking. I prefer to look at drone photography and videography as storytelling, not just photos and video. Collaborating with clients and partners is so meaningful, and I look forward to helping others tell their stories to the world.

Our Client Stories

ExploreUAS was outstanding. Jason captured drone images of several Ducks Unlimited project sites and the quality was amazing. I used several of the ExploreUAS images in a presentation at the DU national convention and even when the images were enlarged to 10×20 feet on the screen they were very sharp and really captured the spirit of a prairie landscape at sunrise. ExploreUAS is the only drone imagery we use in Montana, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Bob Sanders, Ducks Unlimited’s Manager of Conservation Programs-Montana

ExploreUAS conducted winter moose monitoring for us in Eastern Washington to gather data on moose calf survival. We were impressed with the consistent communication with Jason before, during and after delivery of our products. With Jason’s guidance, we developed a custom package of imagery products which helped us calculate necessary statistics as well as communicate those data to stakeholders. We appreciated Jason’s professionalism and dedication to meeting our agreed upon expectations. We would certainly work with Jason and ExploreUAS again in the future.

I hired Jason (ExploreUAS) to acquire a few aerial photographs of property I own and develop near Philipsburg, Montana. What I received was a portfolio of more than 20 images from all angles with my properties clearly defined by boundaries and labels. Jason went above and beyond! I have used these photos to communicate with contractors regarding property development and infrastructure and they are always impressed. I most appreciated Jason’s up-front pricing, how easy it was to work with him and the ability to choose a clear well-thought-out package of images. He explained the technical aspects of his work so that I could understand what I was purchasing which made the whole process so easy and comfortable. Thanks Jason!

Kenneth Goerz

We have worked with Jason Hanlon of ExploreUAS on several projects. The products provided were very professional and of high quality. ExploreUAS has documented several livestock events for us. The high-quality images are now used for employee training and family history documentation. A real benefit for the “Next Generation”. ExploreUAS was able to advise us on how to best capture a family story and community event that closed an era. The drone images were of amazing quality and offered a perspective that ground video is unable to duplicate. Jason’s work is top notch.
