Aerial Cinematography & Drone Video/Photo Options

Aerial-19
Aerial-6

We have now added the DJI Inspire 2 to our fleet that allows for 6K 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 and through the inside of buildings.

What We Offer

All the options

With a fleet of professional grade video and photographic drones, we provide a range of photo, video and inspection services.  We have experience in independent films, tourism, action sports, commercial campaigns, website videos, inspection services, 3D Modelling, Drone Photogrammetry and Luxury Real Estate and Development surveys.

Aerial Photography:

Great for realtors, resorts, commercial & residential , investors, golf courses, and private investigations. We photograph with a variety of lenses from 24 to 90mm.

360° Aerial Panoramic Photography:

Excellent for high rise condo/building marketing. Prospective buyers can see their views before the building is done.

Marketing & Tourism:

Create new and creative marketing materials for your business. Enhance your business presentations and advertising with unique high-resolution images.

Insurance documentation:

Who’s fault was it anyway? We can help fact find and answer challenging questions.

3D Mapping

We now offer high accuracy terrain and infrastructure models using aerial imagery.

3D Models

Utilizing highly advanced drone technology we are able to offer complete 3D digital models

Who we are

Utilizing highly advanced drone technology,

Utilizing highly advanced drone technology, we are able to offer complete 3D digital models that are within 1 cm accuracy. These digital assets are meticulous, offering clients a data collection tool with the type of efficiency and accuracy that was previously unattainable. Moreover, there is a growing trend towards leveraging cloud-based platforms for data hosting, facilitating remote access for clients to analyze, annotate, compare over time and seamlessly share the information within their teams.

Here  is a great example from a recent client. This is the Royal Bay development that is managed by Gable Craft Homes. In this dataset you can see parcel boundaries included. This is being used to monitor progress, verify completion and enhance communication within their team.  https://cloud.pix4d.com/dataset/1789102/map?shareToken=1d500bd4-1d37-483a-8aa0-72e862ed55f7

Pricing – Starts at $1600 as a base rate, with large properties being charged an extra $5 per acre. This is dependent on several factors such as the level of accuracy required and if this job is “remote.” 

Timeline

In ideal conditions, clients can expect to receive completed deliverables within 72 hours.

Deliverables – There are three main deliverables that satisfy most clients’ needs and are processed standard on every job. 

  1. Orthomosaic (2D Image) – For any sort of measurements, this is the most accurate representation of the area of interest (AOI.) It is displayed in 2D form and allows the client to measure distance, elevation, area, volume, slope, contours and much more. This “image” can be printed as well for more tactile uses like during office meetings. Commonly, other documents are laid over the orthomosaic, such as site plans or parcel boundaries. 
  2. Digital Surface Model (3D image) – This deliverable is the digital representation of the AOI. It is sometimes referred to as a “digital twin.” These 3D models are useful and allow the clients to “fly over” the AOI. It’s also a snapshot in time, allowing them to compare current models with previous ones. The most popular use for 3D models in this field is “Construction Monitoring” where the same site is flown bi-weekly or monthly to monitor progress. These 3D models have also been used in movie production as well. 
  3. Point Cloud – This is another tool for accurate measurements. Each point is created by the software finding that point across multiple photos. LIDAR is also capable of this and has many advantages but photogrammetry is more accurate and far more cost effective.
Our Benefits

Construction & Development Photos & video:

Document the status of your build. Create 360 photo panoramas over your building site. Look at potential views from each floor of your condo development even before you build is started; great for marketing and pre-sales. Create monthly project documentation on build status.

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.

Extremely high quality pictures capture all the detail, and highlight areas to report and repair

Live-video feed enables industry experts to make decisions on the fly

High definition photos capture all the detail, and highlight areas to report and repair

Optical and digital zoom available

Aerial inspection of multiple locations from a single take off point

Quick set-up and deployment

Equipment

DJI Inspire 2 with all-new image processing system records at up to 5.2K in CinemaDNG RAW (21 Mp) or straight out at 4K Apple ProRes. Acceleration of 0 to 50mph (80kph) in just 5 seconds and hits a maximum speed of 58mph (94kph) and has a max descent speed of 9m/s for unheard of speed and agility in an aircraft this size. A dual battery system prolongs the flight time to a maximum of 27 minutes (with an X4S), while self-heating technology allows it to fly even in low temperatures. Flight Autonomy has been revised and developed specifically for the Inspire 2, providing two directions of obstacle avoidance and sensor redundancy.
