Production planning
Planning drone photography and filming in Inverness and the Highlands.
Airspace, landowner permission, terrain, changing wind, public access and the distance to a safe launch point are assessed in advance. No flight is guaranteed solely because the landscape appears open.
Send the exact site, proposed date, intended use, subject, nearby public activity and any permission already held so feasibility can be checked first.
