ABOUT

Professional Drone Operators

Incredible Group was one of the first companies in New Zealand to be granted ‘Part 102 certification’ by the CAA New Zealand for operating Drones (UAV’s). In a nutshell, this is effectively a “Commercial Drone Operators Licence” which gives us access to areas at heights and times that would not be possible to do lawfully without it. A big advantage if you need work done fast. Across our group of companies, we have pilots that specialise in all industries, including Property, Utilities, Construction, TV and Film, Maritime, Marketing and Advertising, with professional aerial photography, data and ground photography, with in-house editing and marketing production.

Film, TV & Web Media

The Zenmuse X7 camera and lens system is cinema quality. With its 6k CinemaDNG RAW capability, it can be easily matched with ground footage from any high end camera. And as it works with the DJI Inspire 2, it allows greater maneuverability and more dynamic shots than bigger drones. But if bigger is what you need, we have that covered too with our DJI Matrice 600.

To maximise the detail of our 3D mapping we also take aerial images from different point of interests flying around objects at different altitudes in addition to flying the normal overlapping regular grid pattern. As all the images are geo-referenced, these additional images add depth and detail to the final 3D rendered model.

Thermal Imaging Services

Thermography is a non-destructive, non-intrusive, non-contact means of detecting Infrared Radiation enabling the thermographer to see and measure accurate temperatures and variations in emitted infrared energy. Thermographic Imaging, commonly known Hot Spot detection, is the most cost-effective method of determining faults in Electrical and Mechanical equipment for Industrial and Commercial businesses.

While electrical and mechanical inspections are two of the most common applications for Infrared Thermography, thermal imaging techniques can be applied to many other situations such as degradation of furnace walls, aircraft, buildings, flat roofs and analysing energy losses caused typically by poor or inadequate insulation.

TESTIMONIALS

"It has been my pleasure to work with Bruce from Incredible Images for over 7 years now. Bruce travels the country with us six times per year to photograph our Lottery Homes. This photography is used for all our promotional material related to the Heart Foundation’s largest direct marketing campaign, the Heart Foundation Lottery. As our largest fundraising initiative our marketing material must portray a sense of desirability where supporters and new customers wish to participate in the Lottery as they are wanting to “win the home of their dreams.”

The photography plays a significant role in showcasing the lottery homes to the best of our ability in our marketing material and the team never fails to deliver the right shots. Incredible Images always goes the extra mile on shoots, whether it’s helping to finish propping of the home, potting plants or providing Photoshop images incredibly quickly post shoot day, no job is too big or too small and he is simply great to work with (no creative preciousness about him!). The team has also been producing video footage for us using the drone, which we have incorporated into our eDM’s and website, this has added a new dimension as to how we promote the Lottery home and the location of the home. I highly recommend Bruce & the team at Incredible Images if you are looking for photography and genuinely great people to work with!"
Gail McIntyre,
Fundraising Manager, Heart Foundation
“Bruce and his team at Incredible Images have been our commercial property photographers at Colliers International for more than 10 years now. They are the industry’s preferred photographer. His experience captures the essence of the property’s we market, which allows us to profile these assets via numerous mediums. Particularly helpful when decision on whether these properties feature in the newspaper can be dictated by the quality of the photos. Their dedication to getting the right “money shot” is flawless too. Always looking for the next innovation, Bruce often consults with us which is a much valued collaborative process. Certainly wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Incredible Images to anyone seeking a professional and service driven team.”
