The benefits of using drone for your business

It almost seems an age ago where drones were a thing of the future – small aircraft capable of capturing footage from vantage points that are never within a possible reach. Nowadays we are lucky enough to be able to have these machines available to us as part of our equipment to deliver our photography and videography.

What are the advantages of using a drone?

The most obvious answer to this is drones can get to places where we physically can’t. Whether that might be heights we can’t reach or places with obstacles in the way drones are a great way to get a vantage that you can’t see from the ground.

Another main advantage of using a drone is stability when recording video. Our drone, like most high-end drones nowadays, is fitted with a gimbal on the camera. This ensures that during movement the camera is always centred and still. Any footage captured with this is smooth and transitions well – we often choose to use the drone even if we are shooting at low levels because of this reason!

Is the quality of footage lower than using a proper camera?

The simple answer to this is no. The drone is capable of taking high resolution Raw photographs, just the same as we would with our Mirrorless cameras. This means that the footage we get from the drone can be used in the exact same mediums as any other footage we capture.

Is it legal to fly the drone?

We carry all of the required licenses and insurances for all staff to fly and operate our drones. There are rules that we need to abide by when flying however we make sure that any flight is planned around these and that all flights are safe, operable and efficient to capture exactly what is needed.

What can we use the drone for?

Some of our favourite drone uses so far are for social media reels and posts. These are a great way to show off your business, products and brand with some video footage.

Another great option is to create a video for your websites home page. This can be used as a header and can really set your website apart from competitors with a short reel as soon as customers land on your page.
