Using Trimble Connect AR we hid a logo amongst the rafters on the image, and the lucky winner, who found the logo in the quickest time was Machiel Basson from IIMBE. Congratulations Machiel, your Trimble Connect AR annual license is on its way.

We're actively sourcing generators and aiming to return to our premises soon. Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe and dry!

Are you receiving a warning when you turn your M3E/M300/M350 on? It’s either 12 months old or has 100 hours up (or larger intervals of this).
DJI has a recommended maintenance program. https://ow.ly/9sZc50QwzcW
This provides a number of valuable services and may have been included with your drone purchase.

Be aware though, the process to have this sent in for maintenance can create weeks of downtime on site. If you’re unsure of the best course of action, give us a call.

Inspection, update and calibration can easily be DIY (consult relevant user manual), so if you’re at 12m but low flight hours this might be sufficient.

If you need to send your drone in we may be able to organise a support unit
