Drones offer helicopter view of field trials

  • June 5, 2014
  • 10:45 am

HexCam aerial photography, based in Norwich, Norfolk provides unique aerial photography solutions and has seen growing demand from farmers and breeders for visualising field trials.

Elliott Corke says​: “With our radio-controlled multirotor aircraft we can access areas that traditional photography just can’t reach. We can work safely anywhere from floor level to 120 metres altitude using our GPS assisted hexacopter or octocopter UAVs.

“Our hexacopter (official title: G-UAV0054) was built in Ireland and finished in Norwich. She contains some of the most up-to-date radio-controlled multirotor UAV technology, including autohover, GPS and failsafe return to base. Our octocopter, G-UAV0055 uses the same flight controller but can carry a higher quality camera.

​”We have added some cutting edge imaging hardware to give us excellent HD video, still images and, soon, 3D imaging. Despite the small size we do not compromise on image quality. Both our multirotors can record continuously whilst on an operation to allow us to provide you with either unedited footage and stills or, for an additional fee, edited video”
​
This is an evolving technology area and Elliott is keen to talk to all parties in the industry to understand the requirements.
