Please read our frequently asked questions below. If you cannot find the answer you require, email us or call and we will assist you.
What do you fly?
We fly a DJI Phantom 3 pro, but also use DJI Phantom 4s and DJI Inspire 1
How high can you fly?
Maximum is 120m above flight take-off location but we normally fly at between 15-35m for the best results
How close to a building can you go?
Very much depends on who is in the building and where it sits with regards to other structures and people. but 50m is a guideline.
What restrictions are there?
The Civil Aviation Authority is strict for a reason – safety is paramount, and we must abide by all the requirements – we conduct pre site checks, site checks and full risk assessments. We contact NOTAMs and check the flying restrictions on the day as well as weather forecasts
What if the weather is raining or windy?
We can’t control the weather, but try to predict a range of days where we can carry out the work. remember we often can often use 1/2 an hour in the air to capture enough detail for your requirements – We try to make accommodations for unexpected weather, but provided we are able to reschedule this will be at no additional cost excluding travel
Where are you?
We are in Southeast Scotland, but can travel anywhere – as you see, we have had commissions from Romania to UAE
Can I ask about bespoke commissions?
Indeed you can – we love challenges.
How much is it going to cost?
Each contract is slightly different and costed accordingly – but a rule of thumb is
- £1,250pd , pilot and camera operator, observer/surveyor
- £900pd pilot – still photography only
- Post processing and illustration is normally £550pd
- If you wish an image of your house or landscape, we can usually come to arrangements.
