Our multi rotor UAVs can operate up to 600ft and at a distance of 1500m from the SUA Pilot in charge allowing for a lateral distance of 3km to be covered subject to location.

What we see, you see. A radio link between the UAV and ground station live streams the images to the ground which ensures the shot you want is achieved, a separate HD monitor can be linked for clients convenience.

Every job undergoes pre-flight and on site surveys, to ensure the safety of everyone involved, environmental factors have to be taken into consideration and closely monitored before the flight, as well as obstacles on the ground or indeed in the air! There are strict CAA guidelines that we must adhere to in order to operate, and we will be able to outline any feasibility concerns in a timely manner upon first contact with some basic job details and locations.

We have experience operating in congested areas including London, and have solid working relationships with the relevant authorities, as well as solid risk mitigation measures in place to ensure the job is flown legally and safely.
