Yes Paul has a eBee senseFly - https://www.sensefly.com/drones/ebee.html

Because it's a "winged" craft then with the right permissions it is
possible to fly over populated areas. So can get aerial footage for
relatively low cost, but is a more expensive investment than some of
the very low cost drones that seem to be more targeted towards filming.

It's also ideal for imagery as it will fly a preset route capturing the
required stills to cover the area needed, and then lands.`

I once used a drone to map an inaccessible island in the Humber. The 
drone's camera can be pointed directly downwards, so I flew it around 
the island, keeping the high water mark in the centre of the frame. I 
then used the stored GPS track to update the map.

Sounds great!

FYI there seems to be plenty of work on those in the HOT domain - I
remember Ivan from MSF demoing his quadcopter rig in London. However I
presume they're deploying them overseas.

There was a talk by 'the only licensed drone pilot in Scotland'  at SOTM 
Scotland a couple of years ago.

I missed the outdoor demo as I went to the NLS map library.

Oleksiy Muzalyev seems to be pretty knowledgable on drones. He has
posted about it a couple of times on the talk mailing list.
e.g. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2016-September/076758.html

But he's not living in the UK.

[Talk-GB] Use of Drones

2017-09-18 Thread Brian Prangle
The regulations on the use of drones in the UK are already quite
restrictive (if, of course, you're a  responsible memeber of society) and
are imminently to become even more restrictive with licensing and proof of
competence becoming requirements. I'm pessimistic about being able to make
use of drones to capture imagery. Does anyone have any experience of using
drones?
