Another great new project with the BBC

Last year we were once again approached by the BBC to help produce a film.

This time the project was something different and exciting.

This was a film to be produced by BBC Countryfile.

BBC Countryfile is a great series of programmes produced by the BBC to cover a wide a range of topics relating to the great outdoors in the UK.

The topics covered by BBC Countyfile range from Farming to Fishing and beyond.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006t0bv

This Countryfile programme was all about a project on UK Canals.

It was a project for ground source heat being conducted by the Canals and Rivers Trust.

https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/

We were commissioned by the BBC to fly our Thermal Imaging Drone to capture heat sources.

Some projects from last year.

We are very lucky to work on some great projects in some amazing locations.

It’s one of the reasons we love our work so much.

It’s also what inspires us to make more and more fantastic content.

Last year we were asked to help produce content for a BBC 4 Production.

This was planned to chart the history of Coventry Cathedral.

Here is the finished video on Youtube.

BBC TV – Coventry Cathedral

We were also very pleased to be given credits at the end of the film too.

Using Chat GPT for Content


Lots of people are talking about using chat GPT to create content for them automatically.

So we thought we would have a go at creating some content relating to our drone services work that we provide to see what chat GPT would create automatically.

So what we decided was to ask chat GPT to create the top five reasons to use a drone for roof inspections and this is what I came up with tell us what you think.

Top 5 Reasons to Use a Drone Roof Survey

  1. Cost-Effective: Drones equipped with high-resolution cameras provide a cost-effective solution for roof surveys compared to traditional survey methods, such as scaffolding or cranes. This can result in significant cost savings for building owners and property managers.
  2. Safety: Drone roof surveys eliminate the need for workers to climb onto roofs, reducing the risk of falls and other safety hazards. This makes it an ideal solution for inspecting hard-to-reach or dangerous roofs, such as those with steep slopes, sharp edges, or fragile materials.
  3. Efficiency: Drone roof surveys can be completed in a fraction of the time it takes to complete a traditional roof survey, reducing downtime and minimizing disruption to building occupants. The use of drones also allows for the collection of data and images from multiple angles, making it easier to identify and assess damage or potential issues.
  4. Accuracy: Drones equipped with high-resolution cameras provide clear and detailed images of roofs, making it easier to identify and assess damage or potential issues. This helps building owners and property managers make more informed decisions about repairs and maintenance.
  5. Environmental Benefits: Drones use less fuel and emit fewer greenhouse gases than traditional survey methods, making them an environmentally-friendly option for roof surveys. Additionally, drones are equipped with advanced navigation systems, reducing the need for frequent take-offs and landings, further reducing their carbon footprint.

In conclusion, using a drone roof survey can provide building owners and property managers with a cost-effective, safe, efficient, accurate, and environmentally-friendly solution for roof inspections and assessments.

So a New DJI Drone – The Mavic 3 will be released this Friday.

A lot of people ask us for advice on what drone to buy, and how to use it to deliver the best results.

On Friday the 5th of November, which funnily is Bonfire Night, I am sure thats not a coincidence by the way, DJI will announce the new Mavic 3 Drone to the World.

You can see the teaser from here on the DJI Website.

Impact Aerial were proud to be chosen to be one of just eight new startup businesses to be members of BetaDens Cohort 2.0

Each Betaden Cohort is a 9 Month Accelerator, where businesses with an innovative tech startup idea, are helped to bring that Idea to a commercially ready product offering.

New Story

So you might have seen we have decided to make some changes to our website.

We have changed our menu and added some items.

Finally people can add their own comments to blog posts too. So we welcome comments ( constrictive ones please!!) on our blog posts.
