In January 2026, I had the opportunity to film Sea Change Atlantic  during one of their winter training rows along the Cornish coast, capturing drone footage as the crew rowed from Fowey to Lantic Bay. It was cold, raw, and unmistakably Cornwall in winter - the perfect testing ground for a team preparing to row an ocean. Sea Change Atlantic is made up of four men from the South West of England who, in January 2027, will take on one of the world’s toughest endurance challenges

In April, we used the DJI Matrice 30T drone to capture 1,476 photos of the Duke of Cornwall Masonic Lodge roof, creating a precise 3D model with WebODM.

Operating in Newquay Airport’s flight restriction zone required prior permission and coordination with air traffic. Technology made the job safer and easier!
