Hiatus over!

Blog hiatus over

The Aspect Aerial Imagery blog is now back up and running after some issues with servers. We will be updating this blog now on the last Monday of the month. 

Uk weather!
After what seems like weeks of heavy rain and high winds this morning we were greeted with heavy snow. Suffice to say this mornings drone mapping mission of a local conservation site isn’t going to happen. 
  
Some great photographic opportunities recently have been missed either because of the wind or the rain, but with spring now around the corner things can only get better!

Short case study on drones in Agriculture  
Our short case study of drones in agriculture was re-published last week. As you will see the case for the use of drones in the agricultural sector is overwhelming. In this day and age of rising demand on farmers from both food producers and environmental groups, the use of drones can help satisfy all concerned. 

Drone news
The worlds first manned aerobatic drone was unveiled recently in Croatia. The “ Big Drone” built by Drone Champions AC features 12 rotors and a carbon fibre frame. Built to carry a passenger while controlled from the ground, this “Big Drone” has been built to promote the Drone Champions League video game by Drone Champions AG. 


Drones as the new mobile phone tower? American startup Telelift has developed a drone the size of a dining table. It can be attached to the ground by a long wire or installed with solar panels and, according to their designers, can stay in the air for at least a month. With the intention of providing internet where ever needed, making the World Wide Web truly world wide, remote community’s anywhere on earth can be connected. 
That’s it for the February 2020 update. Check back in March for hopefully some springlike aerial photos!

Not a good few days for the drone industry! Just in case you have been living in a cave the last few days drones have been flying over Gatwick airport in Southern England, hence leading to hundreds of flights being suspended.  Probably the less said about this news story the better!  While this has undoubtedly been very bad publicity for the drone industry and leading to a very negative public perception I feel it is very important now to reinforce the good that drones are doing all over the world.  If you are in any doubt of the above fact please watch this video. Ways drones are saving lives A flight around a lighthouse Last Monday when conditions were perfect for flight we headed for St Mary`s Lighthouse, Whitley Bay on the coast of North Tyneside to capture the sunrise. The onshore breeze was light and the sky perfect so after setting up and taking flight we captured some good still photos and some video that we are happy with, which will be added to our 2

http://www.aspectaerialimagery.com At last parcelforce have delivered our new DJI Osmo 4K. For anyone who has no idea what an Osmo is, its basically a 4K capable camera on a stick!  As we are having more enquiries from estate agents and commercial properties for videos and pictures we can now offer internal footage. I wouldn’t want to fly a drone in somebody’s palatial living room so now we have another option. Noticed yet another novel use of drones today.  Using-drones-to-hang-Christmas-lights-  Is there any job that a drone can’t be used for? Although not so sure the CAA or local police would be too happy in the UK. Also earlier today the drone phone rang! Who is calling? BBC for their next big shoot? Maybe an estate agent for a commercial shoot? No yet another “Do you repair roof aerials?”. I’m beginning to regret calling our business Aspect AERIAL Imagery as most people looking on the yellow pages website only see the AERIAL bit of the name. The fact we are in
