Our current aircrafts have fixed wide angle lenses. They both offer a straight horizon (not curved like some models), but have no zoom facility.  However we can easily make use of larger aircraft (drones) to meet the exact needs of your specific requirements.

If the great 4K quality offered by the 1" sensor in our main camera meets your quality needs (see here for details), then our drone has some definite advantages over it's bigger brothers.  We can fly down to 50m over congested areas. A larger 'heavy lift' drone is typically over 7kg and has a flying restriction of 150m over congested areas. We can also fly for around 23 minutes on one battery. The big birds fly for around 10.  The main use for a heavy lift craft is for shooting on feature films and bigger budget TV drama.

A quadcopter is a UAV with four propellors. This is the design for most smaller (sub 7kg) drones. 'Heavy lift' drones have either 6 (hexacopter) or 8 (octocopter).

UAV stands for 'Unmanned Aerial Vehicle'.  There are many different acronyms for a drone including UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System), UA (Unmanned Aircraft), RPA (Remotely Piloted AIrcraft). Drone FAQs

We cannot fly in any type of precipitation. Rain, drizzle, mist, fog, snow, hail, sleet. Windy weather is ok up to a maximum of 22mph gusts.  We also fly in cold and in hot weather!  

We continually monitor the weather using aviation forecasts from 5 days before your shoot.

If we both agree that your shoot has to be abandoned due to poor weather, we will transfer your deposit payment to a substitute day so long as it is arranged to take place within three weeks from the first date.  This is just one of the unpredictable pleasures of flying!

He has total control over all the regular settings like exposure, ISO setting, shutter speed, exposure compensation, focus etc etc. He can also control the pan and tilt of the camera. All settings can either be adjusted on the ground or when flying.

Yes absolutely. These drone FAQs cover exterior flying. So long as our risk assessment determines an acceptable level of risk after looking at the size of the location, the flying space available and the type of event,  we would be very happy to fly indoors. The CAA has no regulatory jurisdiction over interior flying.

This depends on the job.   In order to keep costs to a minimum we work with the smallest crew necessary. For many jobs an OBSERVER will also be present and on some more complex shoots we will need to use flight assistants.  Once we have discussed your requirements and expectations from the shoot, we will be able to give you a better idea of the crewing that will be needed to ensure a safe shoot .

We'd love to! We would need to assess the viability of a shot like this in your chosen location, but as long as there is space for the drone to fly safely we can achieve a shot like this 15' up to about 100' high. Care must obviously also be taken not to frighten the animal. 

If you have already booked us for a shoot and have confirmed that with a deposit payment but need to cancel it 5 days or more from the day, we will accept the cancellation but unfortunately the deposit cannot be refunded. This is because we will already have done much of the preparatory research on your location.

We need to give all our clients the best possible service with a true and accurate picture of our availability. If you need to cancel within 3 working days of the arranged date there will be an additional payment due of 25% (including the deposit this will be a total of 50% payable).

Cancellation within 2 working days will attract an additional charge of 50% (Including the deposit this will be a total charge of 75% of the agreed fee).  

Cancellation on the working day prior to the booked date will attract an additional charge of 75% (Including the deposit this will be a total charge of 100% of the agreed fee).  

However, if the shoot is simply postponed then we will transfer the deposit to an alternative date with the aim of shooting within 3 weeks of the original day.
