Lunar Aerial Imaging is set to capture footage and stills even closer to people, buildings and vehicles having been awarded the OSC licence by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This non-standard permission has so far been granted to only a small number of professional drone companies and licensees have to prove to the CAA that they have the skills and experience to fly safely in difficult environments.
Drones and Brexit
Turmoil, turmoil, turmoil, but, you ask, how will Brexit impinge on the commercial drone industry.
Well, let’s say what most people are saying - it’s too early to say. That’s the easy bit. But there are some considerations:
Lunar's recent addition to the drone family, the DJI Inspire RAW
So for those of you who don’t know already, we have a new addition… the DJI Inspire RAW, with all the current possible upgrades! What a babe. It is a reliable, slick, small, easy to use machine that provides us with the 4K RAW aerial video and the RAW hi definition aerial photographs our customers expect. Lunar Aerial Imaging is particularly geeking out over the following benefits.
The Curse of the Unlicensed Drone
The tail end of 2015 will see thousands of new recreational drones being unwrapped in front of the Christmas tree, mostly tiny but some larger, and a lot of them will carry cameras. Expect the skies to be thick with the little creatures on Boxing Day as users start to master their radio controllers, and expect many tears to be shed as their craft crash into trees, smash into overhead cables, or fly off out of control towards the local fishing pond. Hopefully no dog walkers will be injured.
Going by the book
Pre-flight assessments are not just a CAA regulation, they are important, we illustrate this in our recent drone filming of the world famous architecture of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. Read more to hear what was involved.
