Aerial photography, How Activideo Evolved Their Drone Photography
At Activideo, we’ve spent the last nine years mastering the art of drone photography,
watching the technology evolve from early, bulky models with a GoPro strapped to them to today’s agile, high-tech systems. Back then, drones had limited capabilities, but now, with cutting-edge tools like the Mavic 3 Pro Cine and Mini 3 Pro, we can capture breathtaking footage from ground level up to 400 feet.
JAR Post Production have done an amazing job crafting a new showreel to exhibit our breath of content in corporate and broadcast. The team have looked through all our content and creatively fused big sky, expansive mountain and interior shots with a great soundtrack to show off our cinematic* footage.
The flexibility drones provide—offering smoother, closer shots than helicopters or traditional rigs—has transformed our work across various sectors, from corporate events and land surveys to TV productions. Our drones, equipped with advanced RC controllers, allow us to deliver professional video without telemetry interference—essential for filming in built-up areas or on dramatic sets.
As certified GVC pilots with CAA Operational Authorization PDRA01, we ensure that every flight complies with the latest safety and legal regulations. We are trusted ITV suppliers, bringing our expertise to prestigious productions and high-budget projects. Every aerial job presents its own challenges, but our years of experience ensure we’re always ready.
Whether it’s surveying expansive properties or filming high-action scenes, our aerial photography brings new perspectives to your projects—literally. Let us help you elevate your next production.
Our high quality Mavic 3 Pro Cine has a built in 1TB hard drive to capture the very large files associated with ProRes file capture.
