✈️ Safety Comes First
Every operation is risk assessed and flight-planned to ensure safe and compliant drone work, including RAMS safety document, Risk Assessment and Method Statement, for high-risk flights.
If your project is in or near restricted airspace, including airports, we handle all the approval processes required by the IAA.
For high-risk or complex operations, we use advanced safety systems such as:
-
Flight Termination Systems (FTS)
-
Parachute recovery systems
This allows us to fly in environments where standard drones cannot operate safely.
High-End Equipment for Flawless Results
We use a fleet of advanced drones equipped with stabilised gimbals and high-resolution imaging systems capable of delivering 4K cinematic footage and detailed photography.
Our ground filming kit includes Mirrorless cameras, gimbals, and premium lenses for clean, professional production quality.
Drones give us the ability to capture angles and perspectives that helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft simply can’t match, especially in tight, complex, or hard-to-access environments.
