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.

Underwater Drones are transforming marine science

  The vast and mysterious underwater world has always fascinated scientists and explorers alike. From vibrant coral reefs to the dark, unexplored trenches of the ocean, understanding these environments is crucial not only for marine biology but also for monitoring the health of our planet. Recently, scientists and researchers have been employing a revolutionary tool underwater drones to study marine life, monitor environmental changes, and explore underwater ecosystems with unprecedented detail. Studying Marine Life in Their Natural Habitat Traditional methods of studying marine life often involved direct human observation through diving or the deployment of stationary cameras, which can be limited by depth, time, or visibility. Underwater drones change this dynamic by enabling: Detailed behaviour analysis: High-resolution cameras capture real-time footage of marine creatures, revealing hunting, mating, and social behaviours. Tracking elusive species: Wit...

Exploring the Depths: The Advent of Underwater Drones

  The vast and mysterious realm of the ocean has always captivated human imagination. From the beautiful coral reefs teeming with life to the dark, uncharted depths where sunlight cannot penetrate, the underwater world holds countless secrets waiting to be unravelled. In the not-so-distant past, the only way to explore these depths was through manned submarines and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), but now, a new player has entered the scene: underwater drones. The Rise of Underwater Drones Just as aerial drones revolutionized the way we gather information and conduct surveillance from the skies, underwater drones have opened up a whole new frontier of exploration and research beneath the ocean's surface. These remotely operated submersibles are equipped with cameras, sensors, and sometimes even manipulator arms, allowing them to capture stunning imagery, collect data, and even perform tasks in otherwise inaccessible underwater environments. Applications and Uses The poten...

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,...
