Professional Drone Equipment

When you hire a professional drone operator it’s important that you are confident that they can meet your requirements. We make it a priority to ensure that we can keep shooting as long as you need us to. In order to do that we have to have confidence in the equipment that we use, which is why everything is thoroughly tested and regularly maintained.

Sometimes thought, things happen that are outside of our control so we believe it is also very important to carry spares of everything. We carry a full range of backup equipment, including a backup Inspire 2 on all day rate bookings.

  • Inspire 2 With BRS

    Inspire 2

    Our primary sub 7Kg drone is the DJI Inspire 2. It is by far the best option in this weight category, providing unrivalled image quality and flight characteristics. The Inspire 2 can record RAW video at up to 4.4Gbps in either CinemaDNG or ProRes. All of our Inspire 2 aircraft have licenses for both CinemaDNG & ProRes. Our primary Inspire 2 is fitted with a Ballistic Recovery System.

  • BRS

    Ballistic Recovery System

    Our primary Inspire 2 has been specially modified to include a Ballistic Recovery System. The systems can fire two parachutes in under 0.5 seconds and also shuts off the motors at the same time. This allows us to confidently and safely overfly in certain situations.

  • Professional Drone Equipment - Inspire 2

    Backup Inspire 2

    Our backup drone is also an Inspire 2. It doesn’t include the Ballistic Recovery Systems that our primary Inspire 2 has which means it can’t be used to fly over people, but it’ll do 99% of what our primary Inspire 2 can do. We carry a backup Inspire 2 on all day rate bookings.

  • X5S Camera

    X5S Camera

    The X5S is our default camera of choice. It has a micro four thirds sensor capable of shooting up to 5.2K CinemaDNG RAW at up to 4.0Gbps. It has a number of lens choices from 12mm up to 45mm which when you take into account the 2x crop is the equivalent of a 90mm. This can enable us to get some beautiful helicopter style cinematic shots.

  • X7 Camera

    X7 Camera

    The X7 is our premium camera option. It has a Super 35 sensor capable of shooting up to 6K CinemaDNG RAW at up to 4.44Gbps. It too has a number of lens choices from 16mm up to 50mm. With a 24MP CMOS sensor rated at 14 stops of dynamic range the X7 means that what had to be done with a heavy lift drone can now be done with an Inspire 2.

  • Cendence Controller

    Cendence Controller x 2

    The DJI Cendence Controller is key to getting that critical shot. It is a fully customisable link between the pilot, camera operator and drone. All the buttons can be customised to suit each user which means we know that a crucial settings change is just a click away. For the camera operator, the Cendence Controller means that settings can be changed without taking thumbs off the sticks or eyes off the screen. When used with the CrystalSky Monitor we can shoot all day with interchangeable batteries.

  • CrystalSky

    CrystalSky Monitor x 2

    The CrystalSky Monitor attaches directly to the Cendnece Controller and provides both the pilot and the camera operator a clear 1080p low latency live view of the camera feed. What make the CrystalSky our monitor of choice is that it has a very bright screen so can be seen clearly, even in very bright sunlight. Combined with hot-swap-able batteries it means we can go on shooting all day without the worry of having to recharge.

Heavy Lift Drones and Equipment

If you have a specific requirement to lift a certain Camera or would like to better match footage with your ground cameras then we will be happy to quote for a heavy lift solution. We have the following solutions in house or can lift your own cameras and glass.

  • Alta 6

    Alta 6

    The Alta 6 is a very capable hexacopter heavy lift airframe. It has a maximum take of mass of 13.6KG and will integrate with many different payload configurations including all of Freefly’s Movi range. Flight times range from 40 minutes to 10 minutes depending on battery and payload configuration.

  • Alta 8

    Freefly Alta 8

    The Alta 8 is that largest in the Freefly range and has a maximum take off mass of 18.1KG. Once again its compatible with a large variety of payloads and all of Freeflys Movi range. Flight times range from 30 minutes to 8 minutes depending on battery and payload configuration.

  • Movi Pro

    Movi Pro

    The Movie Pro is Freefly’s flagship 3 axis gimbal. It can carry payloads of up to 6.8KG and can be used in a number of different configurations such as on the Alta 6 and 8, on a crane of black arm or just hand held using the Movi Ring Pro.

  • Movi Controller

    Movi Controller

    The Movi Controller provides full camera control to the camera operator on the ground. It has built in support for full Focus, Iris and Zoom as well as complete control of RED DSMC2 cameras.

  • Vaxis

    Vaxis Video Downlink

    The Vaxis video downlink system provides sub millisecond latency video feeds from a remote video source and can connect via either HDMI or SDI.

  • RED Komodo

    RED Komodo

    We were one of the first companies in the UK to get hold of the RED Komodo and the first to be offering it as an aerial option. The Komodo is an incredible feat of engineering and delivers the image quality that people have come to expect from RED cameras in an incredibly small and light package (900g). This translates to shorter setup times and increased flight times.
