One tool. Every kind of drone job.

Real estate at golden hour, survey-grade maps, roof and tower inspections, construction progress, ag scouting, cinematic reels — Downlink knows the workflow behind each one, so the quote, the flight plan, the weather window, and the invoice all live on the same record.

Real Estate

Book it, shoot it at dusk, deliver before the open house

Listings sell in the light. Downlink ranks the golden-hour windows for you, captures the lead with attribution, and gets the gallery to the agent while the listing is still hot.

Golden-hour flight windows ranked from a 7-day hourly forecast — dusk light scores highest.
Hosted quote page turns "how much for aerials?" DMs into booked jobs with the ad campaign attached.
Branded delivery galleries with download controls — send the agent a link, not a WeTransfer.
Review request goes out automatically the moment you deliver.

Mapping & Survey

From an address to a flyable mapping grid in seconds

The part other CRMs can't touch. Downlink is a real mission planner — crosshatch and lawnmower grids with the overlap, GSD, and photo-interval math done live, terrain-following the whole way.

Front/side overlap & GSD computed as you draw — hit spec before you take off.
Terrain-following altitudes so ground sample distance stays constant over slopes.
DJI Fly KMZ export, auto-split at the 200-waypoint limit — cleanly at line boundaries, never mid-pass.
Corridor missions for roads, rail, and pipeline on Max.

Inspections

Roofs, towers, solar — documented, compliant, delivered

Inspection work lives and dies on airspace and documentation. Downlink clears the airspace question at quote time and keeps every log and cert in one vault.

FAA airspace verdict on every job — LAANC ceiling and controlling airport, before you quote.
Compliance vault for Part 107 currency, drone registration, and insurance — with expiry reminders.
Auto-filled pre-flight checklists and a printable day-of flight brief for the file.
Delivery galleries hand the client a tidy report link, not a folder of raw frames.

Construction

Repeatable progress capture the GC actually keeps

Same site, same grid, every month. Downlink saves the mission so the flight is identical each visit, and the whole engagement stays on one client record.

Saved missions re-fly the exact same grid for true month-over-month comparisons.
Client portal gives the GC a single link to every delivery on the project.
Recurring jobs & scheduling keep the monthly capture from slipping.
Job profitability on Max shows which sites are actually worth the drive.

Agriculture

Cover the whole field, come back to the same lines

Big acreage, low margins, tight weather. Downlink plans efficient full-field coverage, scores the wind, and keeps the grower's records straight.

Lawnmower coverage across large parcels with overlap tuned for stitching.
Wind & gust scoring picks the calm windows that matter for low-and-slow ag flights.
Acreage from the parcel feeds the quote — price by the acre in one tap.
Season-long client history so every scouting flight is on one record.

Cinematography

Spend the day being creative, not chasing paperwork

Events, tourism, brand films — the flying is the fun part. Downlink handles the booking, the airspace, and getting paid so you can focus on the shot.

Airspace & weather sorted before the shoot so call-time isn't a gamble.
Pilot card & portfolio — a shareable NFC card with your best reels to win the next gig.
Quotes → invoices → Stripe links so deposits and finals collect themselves.
Delivery galleries present the final cut with your branding on it.
