Robert Mathieson from Outback Drones was excited to show people how far aerial photography technologies had progressed.
“We’re here to showcase to the mining industry our drone business in mapping, aerial videography and aerial photography, and to show how far drone technology has changed in the past five years, and what it can accomplish,” Mr Mathieson said.
“Whether it be 3D maps, orthomosaic maps, which is a full overlay of an area from 1sq km to 50sq km, we can give them a high resolution image from thousands of images down to one.
He said drones can do surveying, volumetric calculations, 3D imagery, and point cloud data collection for the industry.
They have also produced an aerial image of a train derailment in Julia Creek which was given to Queensland police for evidence.
The stall was busy all day with people stopping in to see the photos and find out how drones work.
They have also produced video for big events such as Triple J’s One Night Stand.
