Indoor Drone
Filming

We work closely with you to strategise a mix of elements, from flight paths, site preparation and providing briefings and shot lists ahead of filming. Where we are required to film from the outside into a premises we also submit all the documents required to get clearance from both local authorities and the CAA to help lighten the load on your end!

We also provide a list of things to consider before filming i.e. making sure anything unwanted in the video is hidden, external people are briefed not to be in shots, sending out notices of filming and waiver forms for anyone who wishes to be excluded from the videos etc.

On the day, we always arrive an hour early to do our walkthrough, brief those involved and to make sure everything is in place for when we start flying making the process seamless for everyone.

Whether we can film the drone tour with members/guests on site is something we take very seriously and requires careful consideration. Safety is our absolute top priority. We need to assess several key factors before making a decision.

Things to consider when filming with the public:

• Controlling their movements is very difficult so the flights need to be worked in a way that ensures we get a creative shot but mitigate any sudden path changes or actions.
• Shots are at risk of being ruined due to people starting at the drone, being surprised by it and stopping or trying to take photos of it can spoil the end result.
• Where kids are involved, they tend to want to grab the drones, chase it and touch it which adds tremendous risk

If you want to film with the public involved, we have a few recommendations to ensure safety and the ability to deliver a strong final product:

• Where possible, send an email to guests/members with enough time before filming notifying them of the drone filming taking place
• Brief guests/members the do's and don'ts while filming i.e. don't take photos while we're flying and do look energetic and happy!
• Place a sign at the entrance with the notice of filming

We will also do our best to speak to guests/members giving them a brief on what is taking place and what they should do to ensure complete safety at all times.

An FPV drone one-take video is a video that is captured in a single, continuous shot using a first-person view (FPV) drone. This means that the entire video is filmed without any cuts or edits, creating a seamless and immersive experience for the viewer. FPV drones are often used to create these types of videos because they allow for a wide range of motion and manoeuvrability, making it possible to capture dynamic and engaging footage.

As a drone videography company, we use both FPV and conventional drones to address the unique needs of agencies and businesses. Whether you're looking to capture properties from new angles, film events with dynamic movement, or create high-quality promotional content, our drones provide an effective solution that traditional methods can't match.

For agencies, we offer a cost-efficient way to produce captivating content without the need for expensive equipment or elaborate setups. Our FPV drones excel at capturing fast-moving or detailed shots that bring a different perspective to your projects. For businesses, our conventional drones provide sharp, high-quality footage that is perfect for showcasing large spaces, events, or landscapes, giving your clients a clear and engaging view of your offerings, no matter where they are.

We help businesses and agencies solve the challenge of creating fresh and engaging content that grabs attention. Our drone services make it easier to produce high-quality visuals quickly and efficiently, saving both time and resources. Whether it's for marketing campaigns or promotional videos, our drones provide the flexibility to capture exactly what you need, tailored to your objectives.

In short, our drone videography services offer practical solutions for businesses and agencies looking to create compelling content that resonates with their audience, all while simplifying the process and reducing costs.

We don't need any flight clearance from the CAA as the indoor airspace is not restricted however, if we plan to do an external to internal drone tour, where applicable i.e. restricted airspaces, we would need to contact the CAA as well as NATS to get clearance.

Clearance timeframes vary depending on a number of factors but it is best to plan for anything from a few days to a week or two to prepare for any back and forth from the authorities.

To limit the weight on our custom built drones, our batteries are designed to be as light and efficient as possible, with that in mind, we're able to achieve around 6min of continuous flight time. To give you an idea of what that translates to, we were able to fly a continuous flight for the world's largest inflatable course (which is 70,000 sq.ft.) in East Kilbride with time to spare!

The short answer is yes but the real answer is, with a DJI drone, you're extremely restricted in terms of the dynamic movement and what is possible due to all the various sensors and signal requirements for the drone to operate. With their spatial movement, DJI drone's aren't able to execute the types of shots an FPV drone can.

These aspects take away from the free flowing and mind boggling agility that an FPV drone can offer. FPV drones are perfect for indoors as they're TINY, weigh very little and can active shots like no other drone or gimbal can.
