One of the major applications of UAV is the mapping and surveying of land and buildings. Using a process known as Photogrammetry our UAV take a series of overlapping photos which when processed, can be made into a highly accurate 3D model. We were recently asked by, Cinesite Studios, to create a 3D model of over 150 hectares of Dinorwig Quarry. The model will be used in an upcoming feature film due to for release in 2018. Our UAV carried out over 120 flights and captured 6000

This is crazy! A guy was just spotted around Georgia chilling on a his flying hammock that is suspended in the air by a very powerful yet small hexacopter drone..

What happens when your power lines get all kinds of trash hanging from them and it’s not safe to send up a human? In Xiangyang, China, you send in the drones. Specifically, the drones that shoot fire. Just in case you were worried that the robot uprising was delayed, fear no more. It appears to be right on time, as these fire-spewing drones are sent to burn off trash that gets stuck on high-voltage wires. The drones are being used by an electric power maintenance company in C

The super bowl has always been a staple of American culture during the cold winter. Albeit, this year marks a leap forward in entertainment technology. The largest football game of the year has brought Friends together, 7 layer dip and chips together, and this year… hundreds of drones will come together, just to entertain you. While the FAA has taken multiple steps to ensure the safety of thousands, this display could easily open up the skies for drones pilots around the worl

Work got underway this week at the old Anglesey Aluminium site in Holyhead in preparation for the new Bio Mass energy generator being built by Orthios. OffTheGround have been asked to track the demolition of the site, planned to take around 9 months. No decision has been made about the stack yet. The site is completely off limits to the public for obvious safety reasons while the demolition takes place, but here's a sneaky peak of the site we took with our drone before too mu

What is being hailed as the world's first commercial regular drone delivery service is beginning drop-offs in Rwanda. The operation uses fixed-wing drones that automatically fly to destinations in the central African nation. They release small packages attached to parachutes without needing to land at the delivery points before returning. The technology promises to make deliveries much faster than had previously been possible by road. Zipline - the US start-up running the pro

A short edit from some of the footage from the beautiful Harlech castle. It becomes even more obvious why they chose to build it in this location when you remember that the sea would have come all the way to the base of the cliff in those days. The sea has retreated but the castle remains. We were asked to film the castle for Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service looking after some of Wales' most important heritage sites such as Harlech. We used our DJI In

All this talk of selfie drones reminded me of Lily, ah Lily. A look at their Facebook Page shows disappointment from non-US residents who have been put at the back of the queue. This from the Lily blog. All United States pre-orders will ship between December 2016 and January 2017.Pre-orders will be fulfilled in the order in which they were placed. Due to regulatory and logistical constraints, international pre-orders will start shipping later in 2017. We will be sharing a mor

Lots of excitement across the web this weekend for the DJI Wind 1. It looked from the outset to be a marketing ploy by a reseller that creates platforms from DJI parts. If it is really DJI’s next platform then what a super soft launch! Available for 9950 Euros from Custom Drone in Holland the DJI Wind 1 a modified Matrice. We are told that its…. Designed as an integrated flying platform, DJI Wind 1 Allows convenience, stability, efficiency and the flexibility in use. Leveragi

Ottawa, IL – The sounds one hears any day around the Ottawa Lift Bridge in Illinois have not changed for more than a century. The Illinois River rushing underneath. The horns of passing barges. The rhythmic “clunk clunk” of freight trains slowly crossing the iron railroad bridge. But recently that timeless medley was interrupted by a new sound: the methodical hum of unmanned aerial vehicles, flying in precise patterns around the classic structure. The 19th century bridge was

There's nothing like the sound of leather on willow! Watch this video of the Menai Bridge cricket team in their recent semi-final match. With our drones we were able to get a completely different view of the game as well as showing off the stunning setting which the club enjoys on the edge of the Menai Strait and the mountains of Snowdonia. Congratulations to Menai Bridge who went on to win the match and advance to the final of the competition. Drones are quickly becoming a v

The Solar Impulse 2 plane that's powered entirely by the sun, has completed its historic round-the-world journey. After leaving Cairo on 23 July, it touched back down in Abu Dhabi where it originally started from in March 2015. The 17-stage journey covered over 42,000km, crossing four continents, three seas and two oceans. The team set 19 official flight records during the global adventure, which they used to promote renewable energy. The pilots said it was an amazing adventu

Play was temporarily halted in 61st minute after object spotted hovering over playing surface. A man has been arrested after a drone stopped play during Liverpool 's pre-season friendly with Huddersfield Town. The Reds lifted the Bill Shankly trophy at the John Smith's Stadium after a 2-0 win courtesy of goals from Marko Grujic and a late Alberto Moreno penalty. Huddersfield 0-2 Liverpool verdict - Classy Grujic secures Klopp's first Anfield silverware but reinforcements are

The bestselling drone-maker has updated its app to let owners bypass a feature that stops its aircraft flying into or taking off in sensitive locations. DJI introduced geo-fencing in 2013 - a technology that uses GPS location signals to stop its machines flying close to airports, professional sports events and other restricted zones. The opt-out allows operators to disable the ban in many, but not all, cases. The Chinese firm says it will keep a record of those who use the fe
