Open Sky Photography · Edinburgh, East Lothian & Scotland
Drone survey & photography services across Scotland
Our drone services cover photography, inspections and mapping across Edinburgh, East Lothian and Scotland. First, tell us what you need to see or decide. We then plan the flight and outputs around that brief.
Commercial solar PV
Inspection evidence for owners and maintenance teams
Choose visual condition photography, combined thermal and visual inspection, or mapping and array context. We agree the coverage, location references and reporting needed to support your next maintenance or planning decision.
DJI thermal imaging in practice
See what an aerial thermal inspection can reveal.
Thermal photographs from the commercial solar inspection featured on Renew-Able show surface-temperature patterns across panels and surrounding roof materials. For example, these images show the detail available from a solar panel inspection.
Costs, turnaround & report contents
Before you book, compare output options and see what affects the quote. You can also review an example inspection-report structure in our commissioning guide.

Thermal search support
Help ground teams know where to look.
Thermal and visual cameras can assist an agreed search for a missing animal or person. Before a flight, we discuss search coverage and coordination with the responsible team. Support depends on availability and site conditions.
How thermal search support works →
If a person may be in immediate danger, call 999. Drone support must be coordinated with the responsible emergency services.
Choose the right output
Tell us what you need to see or decide.
A roof-condition record, a marketing film and a measured map need different capture plans. We will therefore help define the brief and explain the outputs in your quote.
- Share the location and purpose. Include the site address, boundaries where relevant and the question the imagery needs to answer.
- Next, agree the deliverables. Specify photographs, video, report, map or model, plus any formats and accuracy requirements.
- Finally, plan the capture and handover. We confirm the scope and schedule around access, weather, airspace and the intended use.
