Power companies on the West Coast might be a great market for this. The downside is that the plane might have to operate in poor weather. Not sure if imaging can make it through the clouds etc.

This might also be great for coastal/fisheries monitoring. Not sure how that would work exactly or who the customer would be.

Definitely coast guards for the third world, who are resource-constrained when it comes to coastal patrols. Again, no idea who the customer contacts would be.

Are you building a backend for telemetry/etc? If not I'd be interested to talk.

Interesting, what could power companies use this for? Checking for overgrown power lines? Checking for roofs to place solar panels one?

He’s probably referring to the wildfires started in California by power lines. There was a very damaging one in the last several years.

EDIT: here’s one link https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pge-55-million-dollars-old-powe...

Imagine dying because the power company didn’t update old power lines. What a waste of life.
