Q: How high can you fly?
A: This is the most common question we receive. The height is
restricted by how far the operator can comfortably see the helicopter and it's
position. We have pictures taken from about 140 meters (450 feet). During a
single session we could take pictures from several heights giving you the
freedom to select the best angle for maximum visual impact.
Q: What camera do you use?
A: We use high quality 7.1 megapixels digital camera. As part our standard
package we offer image post-processing service that includes merging several
frames into a single picture. The combined resolution of the final product is
15-20 megapixels. Read more about our wokflow here.
Q: Is it possible to watch what the camera is capturing in real time?
A: Yes, we monitor every session using wireless video downlink
system.
Q: How long can you fly in a single session?
A: Depending on the particular setup the flying time could be up to 15 minutes.
We can have multiple sessions in a sequence with a short breaks to replace
the battery packs.
Q: What is the maximum wind speed you can operate safely?
A: We can fly in winds up to 20km/h. Wind gusts may affect picture
quality, so we try to avoid such conditions, when possible.
Q: Can you operate during rain or snow?
A: We can still operate during light dry snow, but the image quality may be
affected by the weather conditions.
Q: What about safety?
A: Safety is our first priority. Prior to each session we carefully inspect the site
for potential hazards. Because we use electric powered helicopter there is
no flammable fuel onboard. Also, because our craft is remotely controlled, the
pilot safely operates the vehicle from the ground. We do not fly over people
crowds, unless these are trained personnel (in the movie industry, for example)
and special precautions are taken to ensure safe passage for the camera ship.
