Water sampling from a drone

,

I have finally completed and tested my water sampling rig.  The rig is capable of safely sampling water in difficult or impossible to get to areas.  It can also cover a lot of ground quickly and sample with cm level precision thanks to the onboard RTK navigation system (think GPS on steroids!).  The rig has inbuilt smarts to prevent over filling or cross contamination of the sample vessels.

It is anticipated that anyone doing water sampling will be able to utilise this service.  Sampling of tailings dams or other toxic samples is also within the realms of the rig.

Skyhook Imagery have built a robotic water sampling rig that can pump water samples into multiple sample vessels whilst hovering with cm level precision thanks to their RTK equipped airframe.

Remote Control Zipline and Crossfit

Used my remote control zipline rig to record some footage of a crossfit event.  Worked great!

Some of my footage has been used by Kiosk Creative, who covered the event.  Link to be posted shortly.

Used my remote control zipline rig to get some awesome footage of a crossfit event... from above. Thought about using a drone... but too many people about to be safe!

Remote Controlled Zipline Camera

,

I have just finished my latest project... a remotely controlled zipline platform built for a gopro sized camera.

The advantage of this rig is the time it takes to set up and the versatility of rigging options due to its light weight.  Check out my video where I strung it up between 2 trees in a park in about 5 minutes!  There is still a bit of tweaking required... but I'm pretty pleased with the results.

I anticipate that my rc zipline will complement my drone capabilities and will be the favoured tool when shots over crowded areas are required or where drones can't easily be flow, like thick foliage.

Footage filmed at South Beach in Fremantle (Western Australia) using a remote controlled zipline. My RC zipline can be set up in 5 minutes and due to its light weight is very versatile and can be strung up between many objects... two trees in this case.
