We are a PLS and PE firm out of Raleigh NC and have used Back Forty exclusively for all our LiDAR drone needs. Erik is great at what he does and fills the gap in our mapping capabilities to be able to be competitive on larger surveying and engineering projects. Very knowledgeable about LiDAR & Drone Mapping technologies and can help advise on solutions to complex problems.

Really great experience working with Back Forty Aerial Solutions. Eric was easy to work with. He went out of his way to give me exactly what I was looking for. The data we received from the drone and scan was detailed and useful. Will definitely be using them for other projects

Had an amazing time with Eric Harkins the other week. He piloted his drone on a night hunt while the party did crop damage control. The resolution and footage is excellent. His skills and knowledge are top shelf! He was able to distinguish a rabbit in the brush at night from over 350 feet away! The advantage of having such a skilled person and tool on a hunt like that minimized wasted time, fuel, and man power recovering downed animals in the brush at night. His drone was equipped with a full range thermal night vision optic, making it and him unsurpassed in any assisted hunt I have been on! Would definitely recommend him and Back Forty to anyone!

Back Forty Aerial has provided several pre-construction video packages for our larger utiltity projects. They are very detail oriented and genuinely care about the product they deliver. They communicate through video conference, email, phone calls, as well as in-person on site meetings to ensure they understand our specific needs with each project. They then cater their various software capabilities to suit our needs. It is a big relief to have them working with us providing all our pre-construction video needs.

"We love working with Eric and Back Forty. They're a hard working, family-run business just like us. We love them so much we put their damn sticker on the front door of our office. What else do I need to say? Can't recommend them enough."

We didn't need anything special like thermal imaging but Eric did an excellent job of shooting one of our building designs. He even included a very short movie of the ascent and descent. Very cool!
