We’re thrilled to announce that we have one of the best sets of permissions for heavylift drones in the UK 🚀

Our team can now operate heavylift drones as close as 10m of uninvolved people with all our aircraft, from the Inspires all the way up to a 35kg Alta X heavylift.

Due to the high standards of Flying Pictures operations, the CAA has granted us these industry-leading permissions.

We’re very proud and excited by what this means going forward for getting the shot without compromise. We can continue to put story first in a much wider range of locations and scenarios.

It’s no secret that the DJI inspire 3 has become increasingly popular in the industry, and has been used on everything from tik tok content to Hollywood blockbusters.

We asked our in-house team why the i3 is such a workhorse and why it can be a strong choice for cinematographers.

‘The i3 is an incredibly flexible tool, being able to position the FF 8k sensor in places larger drones simply can’t access, allowing us to capture more dynamic and emotive shots. DJI have really come to the party with the X9 Air, boasting 75fps, 14.5 stops of dynamic range and dual ISOs of 800 & 4000, meaning no more super speeds on night shoots. It’s easy to see why this set up has become the go to for many of our DPs.’ — James France, Camera Operator

‘The I3 is more nimble and can get in to smaller, tighter spaces and gives the pilots much more feedback on the environment, which ups the situational awareness and reduces the risk. A 35kg £400k flying lawn mower [heavy lift] is inherently more risky than a 5kg £3k flying strimmer [inspire 3]. In scenarios with high risk, the i3 can be the answer.’ — Olly Sugars, Drone Pilot
