We decided to share some of our most commonly asked questions to give you a better idea about Altitude Aerial Photography Ltd and the aerial drone services we offer. If by chance your question is not covered below, please contact us and we will do our best to help you.
By law in the UK, drones must not be flown higher than 400ft, or up to 50ft over and above obstacles taller than 400ft, such as buildings, without extra legal permissions being in place.
By law, drones must not be flown further than 500m from the pilot, and/or, beyond visual line of sight. If more is needed, we can get the pilot to follow the drone if it is safe to do so.
This depends on which drone we use, but our highly stabilised drones get their best shots below 50mph, whereas our FPV drones are both aerobatic and capable of over 100mph.
Our permit allows us to fly anywhere in the United Kingdom, and we are also very capable of flying indoors as well. We are only really limited to not committing trespass to take off.
Absolutely, in fact some of our best shots have been taken in central London. It takes a little extra planning, but our 'Specific Category' permit certainly makes things easier.
Certainly, day or night, we can fly 24 hours of the day, 7 days a week. Our only requirement for night flying is that we can scope the area in daylight first to complete our risk assessment.
Some of our drones are water resistant, but water will get on the lens, so we prefer to be flexible and work with you to reschedule for a day when the weather conditions are better.
You will get the best drone footage when the wind is below 15mph, though most of our drones are fine up to 23mph. Above that we will be flexible to reschedule for a better day.
By law, drones must not be flown within 50m horizontally from assemblies of people and never directly over a crowd, this is very important to ensure the safety of people in groups.
By law, anyone operating a drone for commercial gain must have insurance that complies with EC785/2004. We hold such insurance and more, with cover up to £10m for public liability.
Absolutely, in fact we have held permissions granted by the UK CAA for drone operations for a decade, and we view this as a reflection of our experience and high standards.
We have a wide range of cameras in house to suit most projects, from a GoPro to our Canon C300mk3, but we can also hire in equipment if there is something specific you want us to use.
