I will pilot a drone to film your story in california


About this gig
I will drive to any location in San Diego County (requests can be made for further locations) and film your project/event with my DJI Mini 5 Pro 4K drone. I have my own transportation and gear. I can offer the client a wireless monitor to view the drone footage as I fly and the client may give me directions on the type of shots they'd like.
I can fly indoors, outdoors, and in public spaces but will need more details about location and timing to confirm.
I am willing to fly for however long is necessary to get the shots. I have three batteries that last about 30 minutes each. I will charge them throughout the shoot to offer more flight time if needed.
Footage will be delivered via a cloud service such as Google Drive or via memory card transfer if the client has a Hard Drive on set.
No risky maneuvers or illegal flying will be permitted and all flight must be stopped in the event of emergencies or bad weather.

FAQ
Can you travel beyond San Diego County?
Yes, I have worked in Los Angeles and San Francisco on previous projects. This requires an additional charge based on how far from San Diego County it is. Details can be further discussed based on the filming location.
Can you offer other video services as well?
Yes, I've worked on projects as both a camera operator and a drone operator. Further details can be discussed based on specific project requirements.
How long can the drone last per flight?
The Drone has a battery life of about 30 - 40 minutes depending on weather conditions. I have three batteries thus it should cover most shooting scenarios but I will also charge them as they deplete to give maximum flight coverage over the duration of the shoot.
What kind of Drone is it and what can it do?
It is a DJI Mini 5 Pro with ND filters. 4K up to 120 fps for high quality slow motion video 10-bit color in log profile for great color depth Horizontal and Vertical shooting capable Long range capable for several miles Top speed about 40mph depending on wind conditions Very good at night/lowlight
Can the footage be delivered in Log?
I can film in Log or standard video. Standard gives you less creative control and detail but can be uploaded as is. Log requires color grading but is the highest quality. It is up to you what kind of footage you require for the project and makes no difference to me!
