We take emails, phone calls, messages, everything! If you are unsure of what's possible we are happy to advise, the most important thing is to get in touch. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
With drones, it's best to begin where you want to end up. What sort of deliverable would you like when it's all finished? If you are not sure then we can advise. We can look at what you would like and work backwards from there.
Once we have agreed on what is to be done, the scope of work is set and a price is agreed upon. We feel it is vital that everyone knows what they are getting and what they are paying for it. There should be no confusion.
Once we have confirmation you are happy to proceed, we start the ball rolling. We organise things like RAMS, site permits, Air Traffic Control clearance and much more. Basically, we generate everything needed to turn up on-site with all our ducks in a row.
Next, we do the work on site. We have the gear, we have the know-how, so now it's time to get the job done. This can sometimes be affected by the weather, but for the most part, we get the job done on the date specified.
This is where we take what we generated in the field and turn it into a final deliverable for you. This can be anything from the raw data itself, to fully processed Orthophotos, condition reports, CAD line work or thermal imagery.
The final step is the handover of the deliverables. We tend to use a cloud-based service, so you can access your data anywhere. We can also tie into your existing systems if that is more convenient.
Here is a glimpse at some of the next-generation UAV equipment which we typically use for our drone surveys and inspections.
This is the Matrice 4E from the DJI Matrice 4 series designed for enterprise industries. A flagship, intelligent multi-sensor drone designed for geospacial mapping in industries like agriculture, construction and more.
This is the Matrice 4T from the DJI Matrice 4 series. This drone features an infrared thermal camera and NIR auxiliary light for intelligent night scene performance. Designed for the energy sector, emergency response, forestry and more.
Our flagship drone: The M350 RTK by DJI is the premier enterprise-level inspection drone on the market, an update to our workhorse M300 RTK. With a flight time of up to 55 minutes, lots of built-in redundancy, and a host of payloads to choose from, this is our go-to UAV for inspection work.
This is our compact but powerful drone from the Mavic Enterprise lineup. Engineered for surveying and inspections, enabling centimetre accurate data collection together with two powerful CMOS sensor cameras; Wide angle 20MP, 4/3 sensor and Tele camera, with 56x Hybrid Zoom.
We can deploy this highly portable and versatile UAV at a moment's notice. It is designed for an array of industries and situations where thermal imaging and speed of work is of the essence; such as identifying heat loss and structural defects, conducting solar plant inspections or any low-light/low-visibility environment survey.
This is a very special tool in our bag, as it comes with a newly upgraded imaging system with one 20MP RGB camera + four 5MP multispectral cameras (green, red, red edge, and near-infrared). Enables us to deploy it in high-precision aerial surveying, crop growth monitoring, and natural resource surveys.
This is the drone we utilise in photography and video missions and projects. With the incorporated payload consisting of three focal-length high-performance cameras, it gives us the option to capture the views around us in a completely different way than with the other payloads.
This underwater UAV is our industrial AI underwater robot, engineered for high-precision measurements, inspections, and surveys in complex marine environments. With advanced sensors and sonars, it ensures our projects with accuracy and reliability beyond standards.
With this high-end Class 0 light-weight drone, we're able to reliably shoot in almost any condition and location, utilising its smaller size and spot-on obstacle avoidance to gather deliverables from more densely populated areas in the safest way possible.
The DJI D-RTK 2 mobile base station helps make accuracy easy. This GNSS receiver supports GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, and GALILEO signals, allowing for centimetre-level positioning. The integrated IMUs monitor movements and calibrate tilt sensors to minimise risks.
LiDAR for everyone. The DJI Zenmuse L1 LIDAR payload features an integrated Livox LiDAR module and a 20mp camera. This combination makes for an excellent all-round package. Covering up to 2km² in a single flight, the L1 carries a highly efficient payload.
L2 unit with integrated LiDAR and RGB camera is our mapping instrument for efficient, accurate and dependable work. With high-level precision and quick data gathering in the field, we can respond with short turnaround time, high-precision point cloud results and spatial accuracy, matching it with a reliable RTK positioning system.
One payload with a multitude of sensors. The H20T is specifically designed for conducting inspections of high-value assets. When coupled with the Matrice M300 aircraft, the various sensors on the H20T give the operator a wide array of options to get the best imagery possible.
Combined with our flagship drone platform DJI M300 RTK, the DJI Zenmuse P1 camera enables photogrammetry and 3D modelling of the highest standard. There are also interchangeable fixed-focus lenses, on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal, that provide robust versatility to help create stunning 2D, 3D detailed models.
This GNSS receiver helps us in everyday surveying assignments. It has very fast convergence time, which helps us to be quick and efficient in the field. Its five-signal support gives us a better rate of precision, allowing for centimetre-level accuracy. We also love it for the low battery consumption — it gives us 22h hours on one charge.

On the left is a tree, on the right is a live 10kV line. Clearly these two have been having a 'conversation'. This is the sort of issue we find with our drones for the ESB. We find them so they can be rectified before they become a bigger issue in the future."

Optical zoom is a feature found in cameras that allows you to change the focal-length of the lens, which in turn magnifies the image. Unlike digital zoom, which simply enlarges the pixels of an image, optical zoom physically moves the lens elements to zoom in or out, resulting in a higher-quality, more detailed image.
Optical zoom is better than digital zoom for several reasons. Firstly, optical zoom maintains the image quality and sharpness because it captures more detail from the subject. In contrast, digital zoom often results in a pixelated, blurry image because it enlarges the existing pixels of an image, which degrades the quality.
Secondly, optical zoom allows you to get closer to your subject without physically moving closer, which can be useful in situations where you cannot or do not want to approach your subject closely. This can be especially helpful for wildlife photography or for taking photos of events from a distance.
Overall, optical zoom is a valuable feature that can help you capture high-quality, detailed images from a distance, making it a must-have for many photographers.
UHD or Ultra High Definition signifies that a camera's resolution is 3840x2160 pixels. This is exactly four time higher than high definition cameras (1920x1080 pixels), and so UHD is often also know as 4K. More about drone photography...
