Gimbal
A pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object (typically a camera) to stabilize it during flight.
Geo-fencing
A virtual boundary set by software that restricts the drone’s movement within a defined area.
Flight Controller
A flight controller is basically the brain of a drone. It’s the small device inside that controls how the drone flies, where it goes, and how it stays stable in the air. Think of it like the steering wheel, GPS, and engine management system of a car. All in one tiny box. A flight controller […]
First-Person View (FPV)
‘Wish i was a bird’. Something we’ve all thought about at some point in our lives. With First-Person View drones, that dream becomes a reality (yeah not literally, but at least you get the experience) Doesn’t matter you’re a hobbyist, a tech enthusiast, or someone curious about the latest in drone technology, FPV offers an […]
Drone Surveying
Drones aren’t just cool flying toys anymore. Now they are powerful tools used by professionals in construction, agriculture, real estate, and even environmental conservation. You’ve probably seen one buzzing overhead. You’ve wondered what it’s doing? Chances are it might be involved in something called Drone Surveying. So, what exactly is drone surveying? Yes, it’s surveying […]
Drone Components
Drones are everywhere these days. From taking cool photos at weddings to helping professionals in construction, farming, and even emergency response. But have you ever wondered what’s actually inside a drone? What makes it fly, stay balanced, and follow instructions? Let’s look at what components make a Drone, a drone! 1. The Frame Think of […]
Disaster Assessment
You ever seen a gumtree split in half after a storm? It’s wild. One minute it’s just rain, and the next, rooftops are gone, power’s out, and people are checking if their neighbours are alright. That moment right after the chaos—when the dust hasn’t even settled—is exactly where disaster assessment begins. This article isn’t a […]
Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
We’re living in a time where the land beneath our feet is being mapped more accurately than ever. From construction sites in the suburbs to mining operations in remote WA, understanding the shape of the ground is crucial. That’s where Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) come in. They might not get the spotlight like AI or […]
Data Stitching
You probably might have seen those bird’s-eye view shots from drones – sweeping landscapes, neatly laid-out construction sites, or detailed maps of remote bushland. But have you ever stopped to think about how all those images get turned into one seamless, high-res map or 3D model? Welcome to the world of data stitching – one […]
Data Processing
Drones do more than just fly around taking pictures. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes. They use advanced technology to gather massive amounts of raw data — and then process it into something clear, detailed, and incredibly useful for decision-making. So, what exactly happens after a drone flies over a site? How does the […]
