Learn when to use 12MP vs 48MP mode on the DJI Matrice 4T wide camera for the best results. Discover how lighting, detail, and mission goals affect image quality — plus step-by-step setup tips and real-world use cases for building inspections and drone surveys.

Discover how drones and AI are transforming facade inspection workflows. Learn how Hammer Missions enables faster, safer, and more accurate building assessments — from data capture to defect reporting.

Learn the difference between relative and absolute accuracy in drone inspections, why GSD matters, and how to get reliable data for engineering projects.

Capturing buildings with drones isn’t just about flying — it’s about delivering structured, high-quality data ready for CAD, BIM, and AI workflows. By dividing your captures strategically, collecting both modelling and inspection datasets, using AI effectively, and standardising operations, you can make your building inspections faster, more accurate, and more valuable over time.

Explore the top 10 best practices for drone operations in built-up areas like London and New York. Learn essential tips on airspace regulations, flight planning, wind management, GPS challenges, and risk mitigation to ensure safe and successful urban drone missions

As drones have evolved, so has the scale of data they capture — but more data doesn’t always mean better outcomes. In this article, we explore the rising challenge of over-capture in drone facade inspections and how the industry can shift toward a more efficient, insight-driven approach. From smarter planning to leaner workflows, it’s time to prioritise quality over quantity.

In this tutorial, we will look at how you can use the Building Outline feature in Hammer Hub to assist your workflows
