Who We Are
Obsidian Unmanned Aircraft Systems provides aerial photography, videography and aerial survey services using Small Unmanned Aircraft systems – better known as “drones”. We use the latest technology in aircraft which are highly capable for specialist filming and imagery tasks.
We are based in Herefordshire and South Gloucestershire and serve the Three Counties area, Eastern Wales and the South West of England.
What We Can Do For You
Advertising and Marketing
Photographs and video from the air can give a more interesting and complete view of buildings, properties and their surroundings than can usually be obtained from the ground. These sort of images can greatly enhance a website or marketing materials immediately catching the eye and encouraging potential customers to read on.
Estate Agents can present an attractive view of a property showing its situation, gardens and surroundings. The facilities, grounds and view of a country hotel, holiday park or golf course can be captured in their full glory. This can be further enhanced using 360 degree scrollable panorama shots which allow potential customers to move their view and explore.
Surveys and Inspections
Small unmanned aircraft can safely and quickly obtain detailed photographs and video of parts of buildings and terrain that would be difficult, dangerous or costly to reach by other means. The cost and time taken to erect scaffolding to inspect a roof or out of reach parts of a building can be significantly reduced using a camera equipped drone. Images and video captured by the aircraft can be reviewed after the flight for more detailed analysis.
Our aircraft are capable of producing high-quality images in RAW format suitable for inputting into Mapping software for production of 3D images, Orthophotography, Digital Terrain Modelling and Volumetric Surveys.
