OUR FLEET

John “JD” Dynes' background extends over 37 years as a Camera Operator, Assistant Director and Technical Producer for broadcast TV. With a love of everything technical and the introduction of operationally safer UAV’s, it was a natural fit for JD to start flying. Capturing beautiful frames and stunning video is what thrills and satisfies the artistic eye that is a daily obsession for JD.

Rae Upton has been operating drones for 5 years and is getting close to the 4000 flights mark. He is also a multi-camera live director, who has been capturing some of the biggest Canadian concerts, live events and competitive reality from the front deck for almost 20 years. Rae’s time-honed ability to see beyond the next shot, integrate good design and to tell a story with every frame is only elevated by flying the Inspire and Cinewhoop rigs.

CINEMATOGRAPHY

A different kind of cinematography, with a whole new perspective. Using our fleet of DJI Inspire 2 and FPV drones along with our combined 50+ years of broadcast experience, we can offer an incredible level of production value that was previously not available outside of the broadcast industry. We’re fully insured, Ground School Certified and hold Advanced Operations Pilot Licenses from Transport Canada. We’re also licensed and insured to operate in the USA. Additionally, select DUO operators are enrolled in the UAV category under IATSE Local 667. Imagine what we could do for you...

Better map data, gathered faster, cheaper and safer. Thanks to newly tailored software, ease of deployment and different types of installable cameras, drones can do the job faster, cheaper and safer compared to collecting data with satellites, manned aircraft, or field teams. In addition to generating accurate 2D and 3D models, our software allows us to pull specialized data tailored to your project. We can count the number of trees with leaves on your property, or how many empty spaces are in your parking lot. Talk to us about the possibilities!

Safer. Easier. Faster. Cheaper. Now you can keep an eye on your project and infrastructure in a whole new way. Our drones can access difficult and dangerous areas while still gathering precise data thanks to recent advances in aerial imaging software, and camera technology. Repeatable flight paths mean you can see and track progress over time. Large areas can be inspected in much less time than a traditional field team with minimal risk while the results can be uploaded and shared with your team instantly. Reduce your costs, get a better picture of your project and minimize your environmental footprint. Contact us to learn how we can help you!

X5S Camera w. 9mm, 15mm, 45mm, 14-42mm lenses X7 Camera w. 16mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm lenses The Inspire 2 takes everything that was good about the Inspire 1 and improves it. An all-new image processing system records at up to 5.2K in CinemaDNG RAW, Apple ProRes and more. It goes from 0 to 50mph (80kph) in just 4 seconds, hits a maximum speed of 67mph (108kph) and has a max descent speed of 9m/s for unheard of speed and agility. A dual battery system prolongs the flight time to a maximum of 27 minutes (with an X4S), while self-heating technology allows it to fly even in low temperatures. FlightAutonomy has been revised and developed specifically for the Inspire 2, providing two directions of obstacle avoidance and sensor redundancy. An upgraded video transmission system is now capable of dual signal frequency and dual channel, streaming video from an onboard FPV camera and the main camera simultaneously, for better pilot and camera operator collaboration.

CLICK FOR MORE ON SQUIRT

FPV? Cinewhoop? Hydrophobe?! What?! Here’s the long and short of it: Both of these little monsters, called a Cinewhoop and a Hydrophobe, can carry a GoPro or equivalent size payload. We fly them using an even smaller camera mounted to the front of the drone which transmits what it sees to a dorky set of goggles the pilot wears. That gives the pilot a First Person View (FPV!) The result? Unbelievably smooth and cinematic 4K shots from tiny drones that can be precisely flown in locations you’d never be able to navigate with a standard rig. We love using the Hero 7 Black with it’s built-in stabilization, and the Insta 350 One R for incredible 360 and 5K footage. Check out the reel above to get a better idea of what these amazing little packages can do!

CLICK FOR HERO 7 SPECS

CINEWHOOP SQUIRT V2 with DJI FPV SYSTEM GoPro Hero 7 Black Insta 360 One R The Squirt is a diminutive drone (about 235g without camera or battery) perfectly suited to smooth, cinematic shots of locations other drones can't get to. Inside a house? Thru an open car door? Done and done. It's not the fastest, but the Squirt makes up for it with grace under pressure!

The Hydrophobe is your ticket to chasing cars, bikes and any other fast-moving target you can come up with. It's quick, agile and WATERPROOF (Hydro-phobe... get it?) which means there's very little that stops it from getting into the air!
