    Mavic 3 footage for wildlife sequence

    Yes that's described on the actual vimeo page. I think they are also the only bird that captures it's prey mid-air and simultaneously feeds it into its mouth without landing.

    Mavic 3 footage for wildlife sequence

    Ha! I do it for a living so I had better be good or I won't pay the bills! 😎 Normally fire is part of the Australian landscape and some plants actually rely on it to open seedpods etc. However you're right on this one as the grass is an introduced species called buffle which burns extremely hot...

    I can't fly (for whatever reason) How do I cover myself with Client?

    Surprisingly this hasn't happened to me yet but the bigger the jobs that come along, the more I worry it will. Scenario 1: I'm shooting a big U.S. show next week with 100 cast/crew. So what happens if it's too windy or too hot or I can't fly for whatever mechanical/physical reason? I can't...

    Do you want to sell your Drone footage

    I don't ever "sell" my footage to anyone, I license it.

    Do you want to sell your Drone footage
