We have now added the DJI Inspire 2 to our fleet that allows for 5.2K video in CinemaDNG RAW or Apple Prores and RAW Photos (21 MP). The drone can accelerate from 0 to 90 Km/h (90 mph) in just 5 seconds and hits a maximum speed of 58mph (94kph). A dual battery system prolongs the flight time to a maximum of 25 minutes, while self-heating technology allows it to fly even in low temperatures( -20 C). Flight Autonomy has been revised and developed specifically for the Inspire 2, providing two directions of obstacle avoidance and sensor redundancy.

For fast and dynamic flying we use the DJI Avata 2 FPV drone that allows for close quarter filming including inside building, in tight spaces or through complex environments like wooded areas.

360 Panoramic Video Viewscapes:

With the use of a professional grade remote controlled aerial video and photographic platform, we provide a range of photography and video services.  Aerial Vista’s work includes filming for: independent films, action sports, commercial campaigns, weddings, website videos, inspection services and real estate.

Aerial Photography:

Digital photographs are great for realtors, resorts, commercial & residential property investors, home owners, golf courses, casinos, private investigators, accident investigators, insurance adjusters and more. We photograph with a variety of lenses from 24mm to 90 mm that allows for high quality RAW images that can be completely manipulated in photoshop.

360° Aerial Panoramic Photography:

Excellent for high rise condo/building promotion. Show a prospective buyer of a condominium their views before the building is even completed is a huge benefit to any developer trying to market their new project.

Aerial Inspection Services:

We eliminate the human risk in climbing hazardous structures, and enable access to previously inaccessible areas for aerial inspection. We can access structures safely, quickly  and without disruption to the operations of the plant/area using aerial inspections. High resolution pictures capture all of the the details and highlight areas to report and repair.
