Why You Should Employ a Professional Drone Business
Drones are everywhere these days, and employing a professional drone business is essential if you're looking for stunning aerial video and photography. Unfortunately, it's often difficult to tell a professional drone pilot simply by looking at them. Too often, businesses will accidentally hire an inexperienced operator or someone who doesn't have the proper credentials. This can be a huge mistake - if something goes wrong, you could end up with ruined footage, a hefty bill, and worse of all, someone could get seriously injured.
How to Find a Professional Drone Business
If you're looking to employ a professional drone business, you need to consider a few key things:
Firstly, make sure that they have the necessary qualifications and are registered with the Civil Aviation Authority. A professional drone pilot will be more than happy to provide you with their credentials, and there is a way to check if they are valid. The Civil Aviation Authority have a page HERE that you can use to check if your drone operator is in-date with their registration They should have both an Operator Id and a Flyer ID.
The CAA lets you check the credentials of drone pilots
Secondly, a commercial drone operator in the UK, as a minimum, needs public liability insurance to protect against legal liability for third party property damage or injury whilst using a drone. A professional drone operator should look precisely that, and they will be more than happy to provide copies of their insurance. They should also carry a range of safety equipment (fire extinguisher, first aid kit, etc.) as drones can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Read more about drone insurance HERE.
Thirdly, ensure that they have experience in aerial video and photography - this is what you're paying for, after all! Ask to see examples of their work - that should give you a good idea of the quality they can produce. Look for smooth video and engaging photography.
Finally, don't forget that operating the drone itself is only part of the equation - the business should also be skilled in camera operation and post-production editing. We've done plenty of work fixing the mistakes of shoddy drone operators to which companies have lost money. Don't make this mistake yourself; instead, find a reputable company with years of experience in this field that can provide you with stunning results.
