Where we’ve done it
Industries we serve
Power Pole Asset Inspections
Asset inspection is a major part of any mining operation.
Eclipse Aero was able to bring high-spec thermal and visual imaging to remote parts of Australia to conduct powerpole inspections. Our drones were able to spot insulator damage that would never be seen from the ground.
Precision Geophysical Surveys
Ore prospecting is an exact science. Eclipse Aero used one of its larger aircraft with centimeter accurate RTK positioning to carry next-generation magnetic survey sensors over rugged terrain.

Aerial Mapping & 3D Photogrammetry
Commerical roof inspection is an important part of an any asset management program and Eclipse Aero can help you secure the data you need.
By using the smallest drones possible with 20MP imaging, Eclipse Aero has been able to map urban sites quickly and with the smallest possible risk profile.
Thermal Scanning
Remote Access
Payload Integration
Site Safety
Questions we hear a lot of the time…
“Dave in accounts has a drone, can he run our drone services?”
So, Dave got himself a drone for Chrissy and now he’s the office “drone expert”. Consumer drones are so common now, anyone with a credit card can go to JBHifi and be airborne the same day.
But does Dave really know what he’s doing? He may be able to push his new drone around the parking lot in GPS mode and take some snaps with the auto camera settings, but are you going to spend $25k on an enterprise level aircraft and hope he can handle it when something goes wrong?
HINT: With over 30 years of experience in miniature aviation, we can!
“So, how does it work? I’ve heard CASA can be a pain in the arse!”
Sounds like you heard correctly! CASA can be a right pain in the rear, but it is (usually) for a good reason.
Flying a drone is a tiny part of integrating drone systems into your operation, and the largest part of the rest of it is SAFETY. Mike and Shaun have been at the top of their game for a long time and understand the rules, regulations and paperwork in detail.
By utilising our certifications, procedures and guidance you can be sure that we’ll do what we do best so that you can do what you do best!
“Drones are never going to be a big part of my business. Why should I bother?”
Good question! Why should you bother? Talk to us and one of the first things we will help you decide is whether you really need to use drones (or whether it’s just the latest cool thing to do).
If you do decide that drones could add value to your business, why spend countless man-hours and financial resources setting up a drone department that may only be used once a year? By integrating us into your operation you can have the service available without the administrative headache.
Use us when you need us. When you don’t you won’t have to worry about us!

Eclipse Introduces the Mavic 3 Thermal Drone
In response to an increased demand for overhead electrical inspections, Eclipse Aero have added the powerful DJI Mavic 3 Thermal to its fleet of aircraft.
Yeah, okay, there’s not a lot to see here at the moment! I’m working on it but there’s only so much typing someone can do in a day before he needs to go out into the workshop and tinker with drone parts…
