HELICOPTER PHOTOGRAPHY
For projects where drone operations are not suitable such as wider scale sites, drone restricted airspace, or locations requiring higher operating altitudes, we also offer aerial photography via helicopter.
Through commercial helicopter charter partnerships, we have experience in capturing high-resolution DSLR imagery from an open-door configuration, ensuring crisp distortion-free, unobstructed results.
This option provides greater flexibility in height, coverage, and positioning, making it ideal for expansive properties, long distance infrastructure projects, and complex environments where drones may be limited.

Visit the DroneTrust website to see which of the online theory courses you can enroll in.
DRONE BUSINESS CONSULTING
If you are considering adding drone technology to your own business, but don’t know where to start- we can help! Andrew can offer one on one consultation sessions, either over video call or in person, to help
you understand the world of drones.
Subjects we cover include the New Zealand regulatory environment, industry best practices, standard operating procedures, hazard assessment and mitigation, the advantages and disadvantages of Part 102 certification, along with equipment and software advice.
WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS
Flight of our drone equipment is restricted by meteorological conditions such as wind speed and precipitation. Our crew have access to in depth weather forecast systems and will schedule each photography session to cause the least amount of inconvenience, adjusting the time and date as necessary for continued safe operation and best visual results.
