Photodrone Elevated Photography

Tim Whittaker Photography, in conjunction with www.southerncross-uav.com is in the process of custom designing and building what we call a Photodrone or UAPV (Unmanned Aerial Photographic Vehicle).

It will have GPS guidance systems, gyroscopically stabilized, FPV (First Person View) allowing remote control using a video link. On board also will be a HD video camera and a Hi-Res stills digital camera independently controlled. The video link can be viewed by the client in real time during the flight.

The GPS system allows us to program in flights outside of the range of the Radio Control system whereby Autopilot takes over during the flight and return the Photodrone to “home” once the mission is complete.

The Photodrone will add to our fleet of services for Aerial Photographic options complimenting our fixed wing, helicopter and paramotor platforms.

Primarily focusing on 3 services;
1.Vertical Imaging
2.Oblique Imaging
3.HD Video (with live in-flight streaming)

Some of the uses will include;
Elevated Real Estate photography
Police crime scene surveillance
Fire scene work
Promotional HD aerial videos
High Structure inspection
Disaster zone work
Vineyards
Municiple Property
Civil Engineering projects
