FAQS

IF YOU DON’T FIND THE ANSWER TO A QUESTION YOU HAVE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT SKYTOGRAPHY – SEE THE FOOTER FOR DETAILS.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER IS POOR ON THE SHOOT DAY?
THE SHOOT CAN BE POSTPONED (FREE) ANY NUMBER OF TIMES UNTIL THE WEATHER SUFFICIENTLY IMPROVES.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
THE DRONE(S) USED ARE ALL SUB 250 GRAMS WHICH UNDER CURRENT CAA REGULATIONS MEANS THEY CAN PRETTY MUCH FLY ANYWHERE, EXCEPT DESIGNATED NO FLY ZONES AND MILITARY RESTRICTED AREAS.

DOES SKYTOGRAPHY HAVE COMMERCIAL DRONE INSURANCE?
YES IT DOES, AND IT WILL BE SHOWN TO YOU ON THE SHOOT DAY AS PART OF THE PRE-FLIGHT CHECK / GOOD TO FLY ASSESSMENT.

DO I HAVE TO USE ONE OF YOUR PACKAGES?
NO - THESE ARE SUGGESTED PACKAGES, BUT YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO DEVELOP A CUSTOM PACKAGE FOR YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS - JUST ASK ME TO QUOTE YOU.

MY NEIGHBOURS ARE VERY ANTI-DRONE?
DROP THEM A MESSAGE THAT THE SHOOT IS TAKING PLACE. ON THE DAY I WILL HAPPILY CHAT WITH THEM INDICATING THE SHOOT IS CENTRED oN JUST YOUR HOUSE/BUSINESS AND WILL NOT INVADE THEIR PRIVACY. AND IF YOU WISH YOU CAN SHOW THEM THE PROOFS PROVIDED.

ARE THERE ANY LIMITATIONS?
THERE ARE SOME TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS ON DRONE FLIGHTS IN THE UK. THE LGAL HEIGHT LIMIT FOR FLYING IS 120m (ABOUT 400ft) SO DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY BEING PHOTOGRAPHED OR VIDEO'D, THERE MAY BE SOME LIMITATIONS ON WHAT CAN BE PHOTOGRAPHED. THERE ARE ALSO DESIGNATED NO FLY ZONES, WHICH WILL MAKE FLYING MORE DIFFICULT AS APPROPRIATE PERMISSIONS MAY NEED TO BE ADDITIONALLY REQUIRED - NOT IMPOSSIBLE BUT MAY NOT BE GRANTED AT ALL. IF AN EVENT IS TO BE COVERED, THERE ARE STRICT RESTRICTIONS ABOUT FLYING DIRECTLY OVER CROWDS - THIS WILL BE DISCUSSED aND DEPENDENT UPON THE EVENT.
