DRONE TRAINING
Flying Drones 1-5
AERIAL FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY MASTERCLASS
Location: North East Wales
Duration: 5 days
Cost: £1600 inc VAT
Level: Intermediate / Advanced
Details: Hosted from our small village in beautiful North East Wales, this five day course is for those who want to know everything about flying drones and running a drone business.
You will be taught by pilots who have worked on live sporting events, flown on the World Rally Championship and on productions for Red Bull and Ferrari.
Through a mix of classroom and flying field sessions we will show you our way of working, how to get exciting shots whilst staying safe and not crashing. If you currently fly single operator we will teach you how to move to a two person crew or if you are already working dual operator you will learn how to work effectively to create even more dynamic shots.
The classroom sessions will cover camera setups for photography and film. We will talk about how to work with clients and understanding roles on film sets. We will look at equipment maintenance so you can manage your fleet to ensure maximum up-time. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and we will happily talk through our experience of operating in restricted airspace, in congested areas and restricted zones. We will cover the wide range of uses for drones from working on TV and Film sets and industrial uses of drones for asset inspection and mapping and modelling.
We will cover topics such as running a drone business, how to get clients, showreels and how much to charge.
You will leave the course with renewed confidence and skill to go out and get creative and dynamic shots and begin working on a killer showreel to attract new clients.
We aim for 50% classroom and 50% flying. We encourage you to bring your own drone but we will have a selection of our own fleet for you to try out too.

DJI Mini 3
