High quality product delivered on the same day a few hours after appointment. Highly recommend!Posted on Hali AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rick came through for me last minute to film my daughter and husband via drone doing a pier jump for San Diego Junior Lifeguards. Rick was responsive and immediately confirmed all permit/drone regulations. He showed up on time, got great footage, and turned around the final product on the same day. Core memory caught on film.
