    3D Modelling with UAV

    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

    Power Company Sends Fire-Spewing Drone to Burn Trash Off High-Voltage Wires

    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

    Drone in the super bowl could clear the skies for drone pilots in 2017

    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 Begins On New Eco Park & Energy Centre in Holyhead

    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

    Rwanda begins Zipline commercial drone deliveries

    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

    Fly around Harlech Castle

    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

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

    Unmanned Experts Helps Companies and Communities Plan Life Extensions and Re-Openings for Critical B

    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

    DJI drones gain geo-fencing safety feature opt-out

    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
