When Survivorman Les Stroud says it’s hot — it’s hot! 118°F to be exact.
HighGround Images had the immense pleasure of working with the creative team from Canada’s Cream Productions for their Lexus of Canada project.
Two full 12 hour days, temps up to 118°, a few gallons of water later and we got some incredible drone images. Yes, our iPads overheated, and our batteries needed to be iced down, but it was worth it! Now we know what can be done in the Arizona heat.
Been a busy spring.
HighGround flew the camera while the ridiculously talented international photographer Benedict Campbell took the photos.
Huge crew and an amazing project!
We love our jobs!
The high point of the Commercial UAV Expo we attended last month in Las Vegas was meeting Patrick Meier of the UAViators Humanitarian UAV Network. His presentation was the most interesting and powerful given during the expo.
DJI has posted a short documentary of the work UAViators had done in Nepal after their devastating earthquake. Please take a look.
HighGround is helping test a mobile app being developed by UAViators that helps coordinate and plan UAV missions taking place in disaster areas. We hope our experience in air traffic control can help make this application even more useful by integrating air traffic information, airspace details, flight restrictions, etc.
In what I consider landmark moments the FAA and airport management have approved the demonstration and use of UAV systems at at least two airports.
1. Albuquerque – Rocky Mountain Air Show
Ride Media shot some great aerial video of the air show.
2. Cleveland Air Show at Burke Lakefront
These guys had a booth to help educate the public for some hands-on interaction.
