Higher Level Drone Services is named for what the Madison Valley is built around — the cutthroat trout, the river, the land that shaped everything here. It's a working name for a working operation.
I'm Dave Roy, based out of Ennis. I fly the DJI Mini 4 Pro for aerial and survey work, shoot with a Canon 80D on the ground, and bring both to every job that calls for it. FAA Part 107 certified, fully insured, and familiar with the terrain in ways that matter when you're flying it.
Higher Level Drone Services operates under SwissyKids Services L.L.C. — my existing Montana LLC — keeping the overhead lean so project rates stay competitive.
