OUR FLEET
The brand new DJI Mavic 3 Cine. Highest quality meets portability so that we can achieve incredible 5.1K Prores footage up to 60fps straight to the inbuilt 1TB SSD drive.
The additional telephoto camera delivers an incredible x7 optical zoom so that we can get the shot at an even safer distance. This drone is the perfect all rounder with the added zoom bonus for drone roof inspections.
The awesome DJI Inspire 2 fitted with X5S camera. Perfect drone for high speed action for film and TV.
This drone has interchangeable lenses which enables a huge range of flexibility with 4K up to 60fps and amazing still photographs.
Ultra dependable DJI Phantom 4 Pro. This drone is the industry workhorse. Tried and trusted on many projects with great results.
With its 1″ sensor it can produce outstanding images at 20mp and footage at 4K up to 60fps this reason we utilise this equipment for mapping missions, inspections and general aerial photography.
Ready to go…DJI Mavic 2 Pro. Extremely portable, and quick to deploy. This drone is perfect for getting in close for property inspections, or trekking to locations perfect to showcase beauty spots to tourism. 20mp still and 4K up to 30fps.
The Hasselblad camera delivers excellent images every time and for this reason as well as its portability, it is one of our preferred drones to fly.
The baby. The DJI Mini 3 Pro weighing only 249g, which means that it can be flown in the A1 sub category (can be flown over people, but not crowds).
Therefore, we have more opportunities to get close in otherwise limited areas.
This results in improved safety for inspection work or congested areas.
PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT
OUR DRONE OPERATING PROCESS
Pre Site Assessment
In the initial phase, our primary focus is to collect comprehensive details regarding the drone photography project. This includes information about the project’s location, subjects, as well as key dates and timings. An initial assessment of the subject site will be carried out remotely to ensure an accurate project quotation. Any potential concerns, such as flight restriction zones near airports (FRZ), will be identified and discussed with our client for a well-informed decision-making process.
Flight Planning
Dates and times will be agreed, and the planning process will begin. A comprehensive risk assessment is produced and updated once our operator is on site. Consideration of the weather, terrain, airspace, proximity of building, people and vehicles is given and relevant control measures implemented before any flight takes place. All of our flights are planned using Dronedesk’s risk management software.
Take Flight
With all the necessary checks completed and confirmed, the flight is set to begin. Our skilled drone remote pilot will capture high-quality images, mapping data, and video footage, all the while maintaining vigilant safety monitoring of the skies. To enhance client involvement, we offer a live feed of the footage, allowing our clients to direct the remote pilot for precise footage capture. Furthermore, during the flight, we possess the capability to provide direct live streaming solutions via HDMI from the controller, including options such as LiveU.
Media Delivery
We take pride in our quick delivery service to ensure that urgent media can be worked on promptly. Images and video footage will be edited as agreed with our clients and delivered digitally via our data transfer system. We can use Dropbox, WeTransfer or our own dedicated transfer system to transfer your files. We also hold backup copies of all data to give customer peace of mind.
