Drones are incredibly important for a range of applications. Some of the most exciting applications for drones is use them for deploying medicine, food, supplies, equipment to remote locations. Hover, lift and deliver Most larger drones or quads like the DJI inspire will lift anything from 2-4 pounds in weight and don't have means of attaching or releasing loads. This is where Hoverloads - The payload system comes in. It is an advanced tubular aluminium design simply bolts under the drone/quad. The servo mechanism is then attached to the sub-frame to allow the load to be released easily remotely.  Sketch Sketch of Hoverload How it works Simply attach the load cable to the servo catch. Gently lift the load and fly to your destination. Once flown into position, release the load by pressing the remote button. The signal is transmitted wirelessly either 2.4gHz or 5.8gHz. The servo releases a stainless pin, the cable releases and the load is delivered. The system is d...

There is nothing better than launching a new camera product that has been waiting in the wings for a while. It is time, after development and testing that your baby needs to finally fly! We finally have another cracker..... Solving problems is the key Problem - Monitoring owl boxes can be really difficult. Often we have to sit and watch owls fly in and out of a nest box. However, by popping in an HD camera allows you to enjoy them all-year round. Problem solved.... Problem - Having any noise around the nest box could also potentially be distracting. One way is to extend the viewing away from the box to a transmitter that can transmit a further 100m.  Problem solved.... Problem - Most systems are heavy and need lots of gear. The cable extends to a transmitter. The transmitter creates a WIFI and you are able to record on any phone, tablet and computer. Light, powerful kit!  Problem solved.... Here is how this works. All you do is leave the camera in the box. Wh...

Ocean pollution is a massive problem. Over the last 50 years the world is slowly being choked with waste plastic and other discarded materials and chemicals (#1). Eventually these are breaking down  particles are are being ingested (#2). This has had a dramatic effect on the marine biodiversity around the world. Monitor, learn and solve There are many elements that have contributed to this situation and we are only learning about the possible future effects. In order to understand more about this problem, we need to monitor where pollution is coming from, how it collects and where it goes. By popping in a floating camera logger into the pollution, it will record visual (HD stills) and sensor data as it traverses the earth. This valuable data could then be transmitted via satellite to help understand more. The visual data could then be processed through AI software that could measure evolution of pollution. Sketch Summary Concept - A 360 degree floating camera that film...
