Equipment
alti-pix
uses a specially adapted vehicle to carry one of the tallest
photographic masts in the UK. Powered by compressed air, the
mast can reach a height of 26
metres (almost 100ft). Mounted at the top
of the mast is a 7.1 mega-pixel Canon digital camera, which is
capable of recording extremely high quality images.
For
locations where vehicle access isn't possible we use a portable mast
system which
can work independently of the vehicle and can reach a height of 15
metres.
On the
ground a laptop computer with bespoke software enables our photographer to
adjust the camera settings and angle of view in order to capture
the perfect shot. Images
can then be burnt
to disk, printed or emailed as appropriate.
Both
systems can be set-up and operational within approximately 10 minutes of
arriving on-site. This causes the minimum of inconvenience or disruption
to those around.
Furthermore, as our equipment can be set-up in an area no larger
than a
single car parking space, urban locations seldom present a problem
for us.
