What are the commercial application uses of FPV drones in the UK?


An FPV drone, also known as a First Person View drone, is fast becoming a major tool in many industries.

From slow crawls through confined spaces to 100mph freestyle flights for high-paced sporty shoots, FPV drones are completely versatile. They are also perfect for close up inspections as well as high energy filmmaking.

An FPV camera is mounted onto a drone to send real time video along a video transmitter. Depending on the chosen drone, the FPV transmitter will send live video signal to any device including FPV goggles.

According to Solent Sky, an FPV drone company, their use of these of drones reaches many different areas.

Aerial inspections

Called a ‘tiny whoop’ drone, these small FPV drones are usually used in small obscured spaces where an average person can either gain access to or view.

They are able to fly between walls of a property, inside large machines and through deep dark caves.

FPV Sport Drones

These particular drones are specially designed for action shots, ideally on a race track. They are designed to capture fast paced events and film sequences.

Property tours

In the hope of selling a property, FPV drones are used to create virtual tours. One property in Portsmouth, on the market for £1m did exactly that, with great results. According to Solent Sky, both the property owner and the estate agency requested aerial shots of the property interior, as well as stunning 360 shots of the quayside. This allowed prospective buyers to see exactly the benefits of the property.

Oil and Gas industry is embracing underwater drones

  The oil and gas industry has always been at the forefront of adopting cutting edge technologies to improve efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship. One of the most promising advancements in recent years is the integration of underwater drones also known as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) or autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) into offshore operations. These high-tech machines are transforming how companies inspect offshore infrastructure, survey pipelines, and conduct underwater maintenance and repairs. The Challenges of Offshore Operations Operating in offshore environments presents unique challenges. Harsh weather conditions, deep and often murky waters, and the sheer scale of underwater infrastructure make inspections and maintenance complex, costly, and sometimes hazardous for human divers. Traditionally, underwater inspections relied on divers or tethered ROVs, which come with limitations such as depth restrictions, limited operational time, safety risks,...

Underwater Drones are redefining search and rescue in disaster relief

When disaster strikes, the clock is always ticking. Whether it’s a shipwreck, a flooded region, or a collapsed bridge, time is crucial in saving lives. In recent years, underwater drones have emerged as powerful tools in search and rescue (SAR) operations, providing a new way to access hard-to-reach disaster zones and improve response times. These high-tech devices are transforming the way first responders approach underwater emergencies, offering real-time mapping and enhancing the effectiveness of rescue efforts. Disaster Relief: A Game Changer in Underwater Search & Rescue In the aftermath of natural disasters, traditional rescue methods can be slow, dangerous, and often ineffective, especially when the disaster zone is underwater or submerged. In cases like flooding, shipwrecks, or submerged infrastructure, human divers face immense risks and logistical challenges. This is where underwater drones come in. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, sonar sensors, and advanced ...

Using Drones for Preventive Maintenance in Industrial Facilities

Industrial plants and factories depend on complex machinery, pipelines, and infrastructure running seamlessly to maintain productivity. Unexpected breakdowns can lead to costly downtime, safety hazards, and expensive emergency repairs. That’s why preventive maintenance spotting issues early before they become failures is critical. And drones are transforming how facilities make this happen. Why Preventive Drone Inspections Matter Traditionally, routine inspections require scaffolding, shutdowns, or sending workers into hazardous areas. These methods are time-consuming, costly, and sometimes risky. Drones change the game by providing safe, rapid, and repeatable inspections without disrupting operations. Instead of reacting to failures, facilities can now proactively monitor assets. What Drones Can Detect Early Equipped with high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging, and advanced sensors, drones can spot subtle signs of wear and damage before they become major problems, including:...
