BBC One Show – Alex Jones – Mother of All Challenges
We were hired to film aerials for the BBC One Show’s Mother of All Challenges with Alex Jones for Sports Relief at Dorny Lake which was the venue for the 2012 Olympic Rowing.
The shots were used for the event promotion and general advertising, One Show and Sports Relief social media campaigns. Full details about the challenge can be viewed on the Sports Relief website here: www.sportrelief.com/news-and-tv/mother-of-all-challenges

A Home Solar Array Ages Quietly, and the Owner Is the Last to Know
A domestic solar array has no moving parts, makes no noise and sits out of sight, so nothing about a developing fault announces itself. The generation figure an owner can see is one number for the whole system, and a genuine loss can sit inside the ordinary variation of British weather. Drone Media Imaging looks at what those figures do and do not tell you, and why periodic thermographic survey examines the array itself rather than its aggregate output.
Visual, Electrical or Thermal? What a Solar Panel Inspection Actually Comprises
Ask three companies for a solar panel inspection and you can receive three different pieces of work, all correctly described by that word. A visual inspection, string-level electrical testing and a thermographic survey answer three separate questions, and IEC 62446-1:2016 keeps inspection and testing in different clauses for exactly that reason. This article sets out what each technique comprises, what each one cannot reach, how the three relate, and how to word an enquiry so it returns the answer you actually needed.
Cell, Module, String, Array: How a Solar Installation Is Actually Wired
A solar installation is a four-level hierarchy: cell, sub-string, module and string within the array. A thermal camera records surface temperature across a flat plane, but the fault sits somewhere in that electrical structure, and interpretation is the work of deciding which level a warm area belongs to. This piece explains how photovoltaic installations are wired, why bypass diodes divide a module into blocks, and why the as-built string layout is as much a survey document as the imagery.
