BBC One Filming in Dorset
We were thrilled to be working with the BBC One Show team again, this time down in sunny Dorset at two locations to provide aerial footage and general views to accompany a piece that they were putting together.
Durdle Door is one of Dorset’s most iconic landmarks and drones are not normally allowed to fly in the area so we were excited to have this opportunity. Unfortunately, just as we were about to take off the fog rolled in which meant that visibility of the rock formation wasn’t quite as good as we would have initially liked although it certainly did add a little drama to the finished footage.
Of course the drone flight laws means that you can’t fly near members of the general public which meant that we had quite a hike (Steve carrying the drone on his shoulders which was certainly a challege in 30 degree heat!) but the resulting footage was well worth the extra effort. Keep an eye on here for the forthcoming showreel.
IEC 62446 Solar String Testing Now Available
Drone Media Imaging now offers certified IEC 62446-compliant solar string testing, delivering complete electrical diagnostics for commercial PV systems. This new service verifies string integrity, insulation, voltage, current, and performance using advanced I-V curve tracing and Fill Factor analysis. Ideal for commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance, our testing supports safety, compliance, and ROI assurance. Combined with thermal imaging, we offer a powerful dual-inspection approach. Book today to ensure your solar array is operating safely, efficiently, and within international performance standards.
Level 3 Thermography Reporting Project – 3 Multi-Storey Residential Blocks
We supported a large thermal inspection project across three residential buildings by providing certified Level 3 thermographic reporting based on drone data collected by the client. Using a protocol we developed, they captured radiometric thermal images, which we analysed remotely to identify heat loss, glazing issues, and roof moisture indicators. This collaborative approach showcases how our clients can carry out surveys independently, while we deliver professional-grade thermographic interpretation and reporting — cost-effectively and without needing site access.
The Importance of Solar Panel Inspections in Spring
Spring and summer are peak months for solar energy production—ensure your panels are operating efficiently with a professional thermal imaging inspection. Compliance with IEC62446-3:2017 is essential for both commercial and domestic systems, helping to prevent faults, optimise performance, and maintain insurance coverage. Book your inspection today!
We were filming in the midst of a heat wave and the sun shone brightly as we hit the beaches at Studland and Durdle Door – offering us a rare opportunity to fly these normally hard to access areas.
