What about bad weather?
Weather is a factor, we don’t like to shoot photos or video during heavy or light precipitation. Light conditions are usually a factor, with bright sunshine being great for wide open shots, but overcast skies making for better exposure within forest or areas of shadow. We generally do not fly in high winds.
How close can you fly to buildings, vehicles, and people?
The AMA guidelines requires us to stay 150 feet away from any building, vehicle, or person(s) not associated with the approved Flight Certification.
What equipment do you use for the job?
We shoot professional jobs with the Mavric Pro. We also shoot with a full frame Nikon camera.
What is a typical Drone shoot like?
Malcolm Hudson( and assistant if necessary) will travel to your location with all the necessary equipment to safely operate the Drone, and capture the media you have requested. Once at location, we unload, set-up, and do all safety checks. If all systems are good to go, then we can be ready for our first flights in about 20-25 minutes.
Our team consists of two key members: a primary pilot, and a remote camera. We usually ask our clients to provide one individual to act as a spotter during the shoot.
While the camera is airborne, a live video feed is sent to our ground-station. We work with your vision to get the desired footage that you request.
Can you fly inside?
Yes we can fly a large enough space such as Atrium, Gymnasium,. Hall, or Theatre. In certain situations, we will be equipped to fly in smaller spaces such as residential homes or hotels.
What kind of image quality do you get?
We can shoot in HD and 4K with our equipment.
