📅 June 2025: “Drones, Roofs, and Rugby Balls”

This month, we soared above suburban rooftops and footy fields alike. From real estate flyovers to capturing a local rugby final from the sky, June proved drones can handle both bricks and bruises. Bonus: no drones were tackled in the making of this content.

Q: Can drones film live sports effectively?

A: You bet. With smooth tracking and dynamic angles, we offer broadcast-quality aerial coverage. It's like your own personal helicopter—without the noise or cost.

📅 May 2025: “Fog, Factories, and Flying Robots”

May was all about industrial drone work—because sometimes beauty lies in symmetry, steam, and steel. We tackled early-morning shoots at manufacturing sites and warehouses, showing off logistics in motion (and dodging a lot of forklifts).

Q: What’s the point of industrial drone footage?

A: It's more than just cool shots. We help businesses showcase operations, inspect infrastructure, and attract investors. It's like LinkedIn for factories—with better lighting.

📅 April 2025: “License to Fly: How We Got Legal (and Why You Should Too)”

So you’ve got a drone and a dream—great. But without a proper license, that aerial masterpiece might land you in hot water. This month, we worked with two new clients who almost got fined before they called us. PSA: CASA rules are not optional.

Q: Do I need a drone license to shoot commercial content?

A: Yep. Even if you're just filming a wedding from above, if you’re getting paid, you need the RePL and proper safety procedures. We’ve got the licenses, the insurance, and the know-how—so hire us instead of hoping no one notices.

📅 March 2025: “Crop Circles or Marketing Magic?”

Fun fact: rural drone shoots are sometimes 90% dust and 10% cows staring at you. But we love them. This month, we partnered with local farms to create aerial marketing reels for their harvest season. Turns out, tractors + drones = cinematic gold.

Q: Can drones help agriculture businesses?

A: Absolutely. We offer top-down mapping, growth monitoring, and promotional videos. You bring the crops, we bring the copter.

📅 February 2025: “Valentine’s Day, But Make It 4K”

This February, we got romantic—with drones. A couple hired us to film a wedding proposal at a waterfall. We cried (silently, behind the controller). Drone cinematography is the new love language. Cupid approved.

Q: Are drones good for proposals and weddings?

A: Oh yes. Wide angle, sweeping shots, and epic reveals? Perfect for love stories. Plus we don’t block anyone’s view.

Aerial is the way to go for those moments.

📅 January 2025: “New Year, New Lens”

We kicked off 2025 by upgrading to the Mavic 3 Pro Cine for sharper commercial edits. Paired with DaVinci Resolve and speed ramping, our promo videos are now studio-grade.

Q: What's the difference between Pro and Cine?

A: Pro is amazing. Cine? Think Apple ProRes and zero compression magic—pure gold for post work.

📅 December 2024: “Drones Don’t Do Christmas Trees—Yet”

It's the holiday season, and yes, we've been asked if drones can decorate Christmas trees. While we admire the spirit, we’re better at aerial cinematography than hanging tinsel. This month, we wrapped up some incredible commercial real estate shoots using the Mavic 3 Pro, showcasing properties like never before. One shoot even had kangaroos in the background—100% Aussie bonus.

Q: Can drones be used for festive events?

A: Absolutely! Think light shows, outdoor projections, or festive footage of events. Just leave the baubles to the humans.

Nice, isn't it?

📅 November 2024: “Flying Low & High – What a Roo Wants”

Ever tried capturing a mob of kangaroos with a drone? We did—and one jumped straight at the lens. Turns out our Mavic Air 2S can take a hit (and still deliver crisp 4K). This month, we focused on nature reels for tourism boards.

Q: What drone is best for fast wildlife footage?

A: Mavic Air 2S or Mavic 3 Classic—both give you high frame rate + low latency. The key is post-stabilization and patience.

A truly Australian scene.
