Surveying & Construction

Using drones to create 3D surveys of your land is an incredibly powerful tool to have. By simply flying your drone above the land, you are all of a sudden left with a highly in-depth 3D model of the terrain, allowing you to make incredibly accurate commercial decisions. Well, if you’re wondering how all of […]

Pix4D is the leading UAV photogrammetry software. It has been specifically designed for users who want to make 3D maps and point clouds from data captured from their drone. It’s one of the most popular software packages on the market, however, making full use of the platform is hard without a helping hand. That’s why […]

Construction is one of the sectors which has benefitted greatly from drone technology in recent years. Surveyors are able to get a birds-eye view of a site, feeding into construction planning, offering the opportunity to improve both accuracy and efficiency in the process. Inspections, health and safety, maintenance and marketing are other elements of construction […]

Drones are providing valuable work across many diverse industries today, with the aircraft found everywhere from the mine to the warehouse and even the battlefield. But one place where drones have proved to have the biggest impact is on the construction site. Drones have become as common on the construction site as the dump truck […]

Thinking of upgrading your current aircraft model to a WingtraOne Fixed Wing? Check out our Wingtra trade-in scheme and save up to £3,900 on a brand new drone. Murdoch University in Australia recently undertook a UAV solution evaluation due to their need to monitor endangered sea mammals. This evaluation led them to the WingtraOne VTOL. […]

COPTRZ recently had the opportunity to speak to Andrew Johnston, Director of Inspection at Innovair. Andrew has over 10 years of experience in the oil and gas industry and is a qualified UAV pilot. He specialises in advanced and remote inspection technology and programme & software development. Drones are becoming an increasingly popular tool used […]

As you might have already heard, COPTRZ is now proud to be partnering with LiDAR USA. They are one of the world’s premier LiDAR manufacturers and provide many of the leading sensors available for drones in 2018. So, if you’re looking to make use of the power of LiDAR drone sensors, then you’ve come to […]

The mining industry was one of the first industries to see the benefits of drone technology, with early UAVs being used to inspect hazardous conditions, reducing the risk of injury. But drone technology has moved on significantly over the past five years. Today’s drones are capable of much more than the simple collection of visual […]

This is the second part of a two-part series taking an in-depth look at the Matrice 200 Series. This part looks at a number of different payloads that can be used to enhance your data capturing capabilities. The series features the DJI Matrice 200, as well as the DJI Matrice 210 and M210 RTK. Described […]

Part 1 of a 2 part series, this blog will take you through the different commercial applications the Matrice 200 series is ideal for. The Matrice 200 series are commercial drones from DJI that are built for robustness and durability. Adaptive engineering that makes it suitable for a wide range of commercial applications. It is […]

Like all modern technology, drones are improving at an incredibly rapid pace. The commercial drones available in 2018 are much more advanced compared to the industry-leading drones from just 1 or 2 years ago. As such, it could well be the perfect time to trade in your existing drone for a much more feature-packed model. […]

Stunning aerial shots, gathering necessary covert intelligence and receiving your Amazon order the very same day. There is no denying that drones and drone technology are very useful. They can be hugely beneficial to many industries in a number of different ways. As with anything, however, there is always the risk of technology being misused […]
