FAQ.
-
With enough notice, we can get permission to fly almost anywhere. RPA operation is restricted around airports and in sensitive locations like Sydney Harbour by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). However, qualified operators like ourselves can make applications with CASA to fly inside of restriction zones on a case-by-case basis.
Talk to us if you are uncertain about compliance.
-
We can fly as high as 400 feet (122 metres) Above Ground Level (AGL) without the need of CASA approval. Beyond that, we can seek CASA approval, as well as obtain all the necessary insurance coverage, on a case-by-case basis. In our experience, 400ft is generally enough to get a unique aerial perspective.
-
While we agree that you can get incredible footage with consumer drones, we have the expertise, equipment and qualifications to elevate any production. We use commercial RPA Systems with the best imaging capabilities, we understand the relevant restrictions and stake-holders, and we bring our unique creative perspective to every shoot.
