Drone Media Imaging and Great Tangley Manor, Wonersh, Surrey
Drone Media Imaging were delighted to be asked to capture aerial footage of the very beautiful events venue at Great Tangley Manor in Wonersh, Surrey. Catering for everything from relaxed yoga retreats, to weddings and corporate events, Great Tangley Manor is a moated property dating back to the 11th century – steeped in history and surrounded by beautiful gardens with many lovely landscaped features.
It was a beautiful day with plenty of blue sky and we spent some time capturing both still photographic images and video footage of both the house and gardens. The aerial perspective is just perfect for this large venue with sweeping gardens as it really allows the viewer to explore in a way just not possible on foot. With a drone, we can cover the entirety of the property to really give the viewer an overview of it as a whole, perfect when your setting is a beautiful as Great Tangley Manor’s. Prior to the advent of drone technology, a camera in the sky would have only been possible with traditional piloted craft which would obviously mean that the attendant costs put this out of reach of all but the largest of venues. However, drone flights are so economical that anyone can now commission a pilot to create a beautiful aerial showcase for them. The resulting videos and still images can be used as a powerful marketing tool for potential clients when selecting a venue for their wedding or special event, allowing them to take a virtual tour from wherever they are in the country or indeed world.
Contact Drone Media Imaging to talk about creating a showcase for your wedding or event venue. Based in Sussex but working across the UK, we are of course fully insured and licenced by the CAA and offer a full range of photographic and videography services to create a portrait of your property.
Photogrammetry For Roof inspections, Solar Panels, and Hard-To-Reach Assets: A Technical Approach
Photogrammetry for roofs, solar panels, and complex vertical structures requires far more precision than standard terrain mapping. This post from explores why traditional workflows fall short and how operators can use tools such as terrain-following, custom camera profiles, circlegrammetry, and automated vertical scanning to achieve consistent results. Packed with real-world examples and scientific validation, it provides a practical technical guide to improving model accuracy, mission repeatability, and inspection efficiency across challenging commercial environments.Capturing quality photogrammetry data from vertical and elevated structures remains one of the trickier challenges in commercial drone operations. Traditional surveying workflows fail here. Kristaps Brass, Product Owner at UgCS, has spent years working with operators who tackle these missions daily. Solar farms, building facades, communication towers, dam inspections. The pattern is consistent: manual flying burns time and money, and processed models show gaps where critical details should be. This article covers what actually works, based on field-tested methods and real operator feedback.

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.
