Every location asks a different question. What are the airspace restrictions. How close can we get to people. Is there room to take off. Can we fly indoors. Some of that is planning and permissions; the rest comes down to which aircraft turns up.
Cinema work. The Inspire 3 and Inspire 2 carry the full payload and the codecs your post house expects. Both need room to work.
Tighter locations. The Mavic 4 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro Cine have certified low-speed modes, and the Mavic 3 Cine is under 900g. All three make close work around people more straightforward.
Where nothing bigger fits. The Mini 5 Pro is under 250g and the least restricted aircraft we fly. It may work directly above uninvolved people.
Tell us about the shoot and we’ll advise on the right aircraft for the location, the schedule and the budget, and what help we might need from you to make it work.
We hold a CAA Operational Authorisation (PDRA01) and A2 Certificates of Competency, so a job can run under the Specific category with the Inspires or in the Open category with the smaller aircraft, whichever suits the location. Every flight is planned accordingly, with a risk assessment / method statement as standard, and £10m public liability cover.
Aerial filming also puts people in shot who didn’t ask to be. We plan flight paths and timings around that, and handle footage in line with GDPR. If your production has its own requirements, tell us and we’ll work to them.
