Thanks Tyson, I have just registered.

 

As I am sure this would be of interest to all mappers in Australia you may like to post it on our new googles group, Australian Orienteering Mapping Group, which was set up by Robbie during Easter.

Adrian,

I really think you would be interested in attending this road show. I have registered on behalf of my company, but I will certainly be showing great interest in its applications for orienteering.

Be one of the first to see the Gatewing X100 when it lands in Australia in May 2011!

Why you should attend:

The Gatewing X100 allows you to map what you need, when you need it.

With its lightweight, compact yet robust design, the X100 is the most portable and reliable UAV available, capable of 5cm accuracy in 60km/hr winds.

By providing high quality image capture and mapping functionality, the X100 is the perfect alternative to time consuming land-based surveying and expensive aerial photgrammetry.

Ideal for use across a wide range of industries, including topographical surveying, mining, civil construction and environmental assessment, don’t miss your chance to see this amazing technology for yourself!

Position Partners is the Australian Distributor of Gatewing’s X100 unmanned aerial system (UAS) and we will be showcasing this state-of-the-art technology throughout the country from 23 May to 8 June at the following locations:

If anyone wants to see the pretty version of this email, let me know
and i will forward it on.
The video is worth a watch and the technology seems sound.
The biggest issue i see with this system:
- is the need for some ground control
- the cost of the system does not include the software required to
process the imagery (according to their brochures) so the formation of
the contour model is not possible with the purchase of this system
alone.
I have been investigating this system for it's merit for volume
calculation surveys for work, but it certainly does have merit for
orienteering mapping, the biggest question is the $$$$.

Look forward to seeing the system at the demonstration.
Cheers
Tyson

Certainly worth a look but a few obvious concerns come to mind after
watching the video: 1) High cost once you add all the bits together.
May be worthwhile for a surveying company to consider however. 2)
Flight time does not seem very long (I presume it is a glider)..in
some of our forested areas I was picturing some rather nasty crash
landings!! mmm Now lets see who would insure us??
