About Photodrone
Tim Whittaker Photography has, over the last 2 years, been trialing and developing the Photodrone or UAPV (Unmanned Aerial Photographic Vehicle) and now has a stable high quality working platform
It has a GPS guidance system, gyroscopically stabilized, FPV (First Person View) allowing remote control using a video link. On board also there is an HD video camera and a Hi-Res stills digital camera independently controlled. The video link can be viewed by the client in real time during the flight.
The Photodrone is in addition to our fleet of services for Aerial Photographic options complimenting our fixed wing, helicopter and paramotor platforms.
Primarily focusing on 3 services;
- Vertical Imaging

Some of the uses will include;

- Vineyards
- Municipal Property
- Civil Engineering projects
- Televison News
Tim Whittaker Photography & the Photodrone are based in Hawkes Bay but travel throughout the country.
