Aerial · Penticton & area · Demonstration capture
Penticton sits between two lakes, with vineyards stacked up the benches and most of the city inside controlled airspace around the regional airport. We're 20 minutes up the highway in Summerland, so the airspace planning, the weather window, and the flight come from one person who knows this ground.
What we fly for in and around Penticton
The work around Penticton splits three ways: vineyards and orchards on the benches, builders reshaping ground in town, and lakeside properties that need showing from the air. The same drone and RTK setup does all three. Each has its own page.
One flight can rank a block into stronger and weaker zones for you and your agronomist to walk. The kind of thing we produce is a set of vigor zone maps and a plain-language report, quoted to what your block needs. The map shows where to walk. It never diagnoses and never prescribes.
One flight can capture the cut-and-fill and stockpile numbers without putting anyone on the pile. The kind of thing we produce is a planning-grade orthomosaic, elevation data, and a volume breakdown in NAD83(CSRS), scoped to your site. Flown once, or monthly for a dated progress record. It's topographic data for your engineer to work from, never the engineering analysis itself.
A lakeside or bench property sells on the setting: how the land sits, where the water is, the privacy of the approach. We can shoot a reveal in the last hour of light and build a 3D tour so someone can walk the property from out of province. Golden-hour stills and short vertical cuts are the kind of thing we add, quoted to the listing, and the capture doubles as a dated record of the grounds.
Have a look before you book
We'd rather show you than tell you. Everything below is the company's own demonstration work, flown and processed on South Okanagan ground.
A modern glass home read from above, water behind it: the capture that anchors a listing reveal and a 3D tour. From our own Summerland demonstration capture: 0.3 cm/px delivered pixel detail, RTK FIX.
Planning-grade orthomosaics and bare-earth terrain from one flight: the ground truth for earthworks, drainage, and siting decisions.
We never present demonstration work as a project in a town we haven't flown.
Based 20 minutes away in Summerland
Penticton is a short drive from our Summerland base: no travel premium, weather watched on the same forecast, a pilot who knows the ground. Every flight here also has to account for controlled airspace around the regional airport; that planning happens before capture day.
Every flight is authorized through NAV Drone, and any extra authorization gets flagged at the scope call.
What you walk away with: a flight plan cleared before we leave Summerland
Kendal Ventures is founder-led. The same Transport Canada-certified RPAS pilot scopes the job, flies the capture, and processes the data. The person you talk to flew your property.
What you walk away with: one point of contact from scope call to delivery
Flights run on a clear-sky window and are processed in Summerland through our own DJI Terra, QGIS, and Blender pipeline, georeferenced in NAD83(CSRS) and handed over in a shared client folder.
What you walk away with: georeferenced deliverables you can open, share, and act on
Questions & answers
Yes. Penticton is a core service area, about 20 minutes from our Summerland base. We cover Penticton, the Naramata Bench, Okanagan Falls, and the surrounding benches and orchards. Everything we show is our own demonstration work.
Yes, with planning. Much of Penticton sits in controlled airspace around the regional airport. Every flight is authorized through NAV Drone before launch, and any additional authorization is sorted before capture day.
Three broad kinds. Vineyards and orchards get multispectral crop-health mapping with a grower-ready report. Builders and aggregate sites get planning-grade orthomosaics, elevation data, and measured volumetrics. Homes and estates get interactive 3D twins, listing media, and dated property records. We also capture drone roof inspection imagery for the owner and their roofer to review: visual imagery, never a structural, engineering, or insurance assessment. See Agriculture, Construction, commercial & public, and Estates & hospitality.
