Real flights, real outputs.

A growing record of Media4You work — what was captured, how quickly, and what the 3D model recorded.

What was captured, and what the model showed.

Each project below has its 3D model to explore, and the measurements and notes Media4You recorded on it.

Construction · Site inspectionJanuary 2026

A wet construction site, measured and logged in one visit.

Nineteen photographs, captured in under a minute and a half, became a 3D model of the whole site. The piles were measured for volume, and each hazard and job still to do was pinned to its place on the model with a severity rating.

• 19photographs
• 1 min 22 scapture time
• 5,322 m²area covered
• 2.8 millionpoints in the 3D model

Recorded on the model

• Five piles measured for volume, from 10 m³ to 333 m³: the largest a 383 m² pile of mixed dirt and rubble.
• Metal poles left partly underwater where the ground doesn't drain, needing a large vehicle once it dries.
• A damaged trailer stuck in the mud, and a large manhole cover below site level.
• The holding pond full of water, with about 80 m³ of material from it stored on site.
• The site entrance measured at 5.72 m wide.
• Harris fencing and plastic and metal rubbish to clear before work continues.

The dirt store for the temporary holding channel: 932 m², about 268 m³.

Mixed dirt and rubble to remove: 383 m², about 333 m³.

Agriculture · Field surveySeptember 2026

Drought damage mapped across an 8.8-hectare field.

242 photographs, captured in under five minutes with the DJI Matrice 4T, produced a 3D model, an elevation map and a VARI map of the field. Bare ground, dry spots and dead areas were then pinned on the model and rated by severity.

• 242photographs
• 4 min 36 scapture time
• 8.8 haarea covered (21.8 acres)
• 42.8 millionpoints in the 3D model

Recorded on the model

• A 5,218 m² area of bare ground after the summer drought, where cattle can't graze.
• Eight more dead areas, dry spots and patches of bare ground, each rated by severity.
• A VARI map (a vegetation index from ordinary colour images) showing how the grass varies across the field.
• An elevation map of the ground across the whole survey.

VARI map of the field: green shows more vegetation, red less.

Bare ground after the drought: 5,218 m², measured on the model.

Property · Holiday cottageDecember 2024

A holiday cottage, measured from its 3D model.

449 photographs, captured in just over half an hour, built a detailed 3D model of the cottage and its grounds. The wall height, the extension roof, the patio and the driveway were then measured straight from the model.

• 449photographs
• 33 mincapture time
• 1,653 m²area covered
• 11.3 millionpoints in the 3D model

Recorded on the model

• Wall height: 5.05 m.
• Extension roof: 26.5 m², with slopes of up to 44.5°.
• Patio: 34.8 m², 32.6 m around.
• Driveway width: 3.51 m.

The wall height at the gable end, measured on the model: 5.05 m.

The extension roof: 26.5 m², with slopes of up to 44.5°.

The patio, marked out on the model: 34.8 m².

Construction · Barn buildNovember 2025

A barn site measured from twelve photographs.

Twelve photographs, captured in under two minutes, gave a measurable 3D model of the plot: the barn's footprint and driveway, the boundary lines, the earth to move, and what else on site would affect the work.

• 12photographs
• 1 min 44 scapture time
• 4,229 m²area covered
• 1.6 millionpoints in the 3D model

Recorded on the model

• Three mounds of excess earth: 109 m³, 162 m³ and 471 m³.
• Building footprint: 391 m², 87.5 m around.
• Driveway: 185 m².
• Boundary lines of 83.3 m and 67.6 m, with 9 m of height change along the longer one.
• A farm trailer and a cultivator noted as temporarily stored on site.
• The neighbouring house flagged at the highest severity: it will be affected by construction noise.

The largest mound of excess earth: 498 m², about 471 m³.

The barn's footprint, marked out on the model: 391 m².

A boundary line measured along the plot: 83.3 m.

The neighbouring house, flagged for construction noise.
