How the New DJI M300 RTK Keeps People Safe in First Response Operations

When a hazardous materials risk occurs, first responders need to quickly deploy and prepare the scene to control the spread and reduce risk to the community and themselves. Drones play a critical role in quickly assessing the situation, aiding plans on how to approach the incident and reduce the risk to first responders on the scene.

In this short story the Southern Manatee Fire Rescue (SMFR) team talks through their experiences and thoughts about the new Matrice 300 RTK and Zenmuse H20 Series, DJI's latest commercial drone platform. SMFR, a leader in deploying drones for HazMat response and a DJI Solution Development partner since 2018, has worked hand-in-hand with DJI to provide feedback and input on the development of the Matrice 300 RTK and Zenmuse H20 Series.

Avoid the Pitfalls of New Drone Excitement

As anyone buying their first drone can testify, drone technology is fascinating. However, flying safely and responsibly are paramount and new users should avoid the temptation to get the drone out of the box and up into the air as quickly as possible.

Leonardo Da Vinci’s Early Works Get A Hasselblad Makeover

The University of Bologna's Department of Architecture has utilised Hasselblad's medium format camera expertise to transform several of Leonardo da Vinci's early sketches into 3D models.

Using the H6D-400c Multi-Shot in combination with the university's own developed software, ISLe (InSight Leonardo), 3D models of these hundreds of years old art pieces have been created to save for future generations.

These digital renderings hold immense detail, including the true colours of Leonardo’s drawings, the different shades of ink, chalk and metal points, and even the feel of the paper’s fragile surface. Andrea Ballabeni, a research member who is responsible for software development in the Department of Architecture at the university, tells us all about how this extremely valuable tool aids art curators and history experts in analysing the work of Leonardo da Vinci even further.
