Aerial Imaging – Raising Your Expectations

Sticky Post By admin On April 3, 2015

UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) are gaining significant popularity for commercial and industrial aerial imaging. The days of expensive helicopter and airplane aerial filming are numbered. With the growing popularity of UAVs and ultra hi-def cameras, dull aerial images have become a thing of the past.

Choice of Camera

Some imaging UAVs ship with cameras “built in”, others ship with the option of the operator choosing a camera system that suits their needs. Pro Sky Video’s DJI Inspire 1 UAV comes with the X3 Ultra High Definition camera. The images and recordings from the X3 are stunning, vivid and beautiful. Filming including the Sony Exmor sensor in 4k Ultra HD captures video at four times higher than conventional HD. 12 megapixel still photos are captured at 4000×3000 dpi resolution. And the Zenmuse 3 axis gimbal which attaches the X3 camera to the UAV keeps the photos and video ultra smooth and stable, free from wind and motion vibration.

UAV Imaging is Becoming a Mining Standard

Mining companies are still developing understanding of what the potential applications are which make UAV usage viable (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). However, the technology is currently becoming indispensable due to the various solutions they offer. These unmanned aircraft can add great value in various areas of exploration and development, safety and security and operational productivity.

While UAVs can be expensive, the cost is negligible when considering a human life, considering the variety of dangerous situations which present themselves at mining sites. Surveying a new area can be difficult on foot, even difficult for a helicopter in tight situations. UAVs can help alleviate common burdens of mining completely, from the loss human life, accessing difficult locations and budget concerns.
