  • DJI Mini 4 Pro

 FAQs

  • The CAA stipulates a UAV flight ceiling of 400 feet (120 metres). This is to keep a safe separation zone from the airspace of manned aircraft, which must keep to a minimum in-flight altitude of 500 feet.

  • Minimum horizontal distance of 50m between the drone and uninvolved people. This creates a no flyzone around people that goes all the way up to the legal height limit. It can help to think of this no fly zone as a cylinder.

    This separation zone does not apply to clients or staff on-site—they will have been briefed of the presence of the drone before flights take place, putting them under the control of the pilot.

  • When you book a date with us, we automatically include 1 day either side for weather contingency. As the date approaches, we use advanced forecasting services to monitor the weather on that date.

    Up to 48 hours before the shoot, either Samuel Holdsworth or the Client can make the call that the weather will be unsuitable, and the shoot can be rebooked at no extra charge. Please get in touch for more information on our weather terms.

  • This depends on factors including the specific aircraft, temperature and weather conditions and the weight of the payload, but it is usually between 1 and 30 minutes per flight. We can land, replace batteries and take off again within a couple of minutes.
