Utilizing a Drone for a Roof Inspection

  Utilizing a drone for a roof inspection can help reduce costs and improve efficiency. Drones can obtain detailed information that can be overlooked by a roofer or surveyor. Identifying issues such as water ingress, loose tiles or broken guttering and other serious problems. Drones can access complex areas of a roof structure, eliminating the need for ladders, scaffolding, or climbing out of windows. A drone pilot has the skills to capture quality video recordings and photographs with a drone. Watch the video below to see what a drone can capture when conducting a roof inspection.

What is the Drone swarm light show?

A Drone light show is a formation of Drones that are illuminated and synchronised to arrange themselves into various aerial formations. According to Verge Aero any image can be recreated in the sky by a computer program that changes graphics into flight commands, which then feeds this information to the Drones. So how does this work? While it looks incredibly impressive it is fairly straightforward. Firstly, a design team create a storyboard timeline, showing the images and effects. From this, the images are then animated in a particular software that translates them into synchronised flight paths for the individual Drones. The entire show is then sent via radio signal from a ground control station operated by a pilot. According to Verge Aero: ‘Verge Aero’s design software lets users select graphics and special effects and place them in a timeline, similar to those found in video editing software. This software calculates the flight paths of each drone to guarantee they don’t...
