Impact Aerial

DRONE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES & SOLUTIONS

Impact Aerial was created to provide professional services to cater for the growth in the use of drones in a niche but increasingly diverse market whilst also considering the limited number of operators holding valid CAA permission specifically in Birmingham and the West Midlands

We formed Impact Aerial when drone technology was new to the UK. Since then, we have been using our experience to provide a service to match the rapid rate of growth in the market. We built our first drone – a multi-platform hexacopter – in 2013, and have since designed and built many more, with a focus on high-end production and an extremely professional finish to photography and videography.

We are based in the West Midlands, and serve a range of clients in this area, including Birmingham.

Services

We aren’t just about photography at Impact Aerial. We provide a top-quality, affordable, professional service that means you can make use of our experience to get the results you want, without the stress of manning new technology yourself.

Step 1: Consultation
The first stage of our service. We provide a thorough consultation to ensure that your exact needs are met, and this also involves planning and our own necessary pre-site research.

Step 2: Survey
We then conduct a thorough site survey to ensure that safety and legal requirements are completely met prior to any photography or videography being carried out. We obtain pre-approvals from the appropriate authorities, landowners and air traffic controllers wherever necessary.

Step 3: Safety
Following the site survey, we conduct a site safety assessment to ensure complete regulatory and safety compliance.

Step 4: The Flight
This is the stage when all photography and videography is conducted. Our highly-trained pilots will carry out the entire process with our specialist drones.

Step 5: Post Production
In order to produce the best possible results for you, we use Adobe Lightroom for finishing and retouching of photos and Adobe Premiere Pro as well as DaVinci Resolve for video production.

Step 6: Presentation
The sixth stage is the presentation of the finished article. We give you time to check everything over and ensure that you are completely happy before concluding our service.

Step 7: Handover and Sign Off
The seventh and final stage is the delivery of the finished work. We deliver all of our completed work via our shared Google Private Cloud Drive. For customers that prefer the work delivered directly, we can also deliver the finished files using WeTransfer Pro.

Sectors
At Impact Aerial, we are proud to supply drone services to a number of different markets. See below for some of the industries that we serve.

Property
Drone photography is now extensively used in the property market, with estate agents interested in providing high-quality aerial shots of high-end residential properties. A fly-over video can also provide an angle and complete coverage that standard photography simply cannot do. Indeed, a great many individuals are now employing drone footage to make their property stand out in a busy selling market. Experiencing this kind of footage can really help a potential buyer get a feel for the property. For property developers and commercial companies, it is the ideal opportunity to present high-quality marketing, or even to assist with planning and design or new builds.

Building Services
Drones can produce 3D imaging and detailed topological graphics for designing and building both residential properties and commercial buildings. For any potential issues with rooves and hard-to-reach parts of existing buildings, drones can provide valuable pictures of potential maintenance spots and necessary compliance checks, which can lead to significant cost saving.

Advertising
An increasing number of advertising companies now have an expectation for High-quality 4K resolution footage to bolster their advertising campaigns in an extremely competitive market. You can see, for example, in automobile adverts, sweeping video footage delivering fantastic shots of on-road vehicles from angles that conventional coverage can’t provide.

Virtual Tours
Virtual Tours are now the next big thing for Drone Captures.

We have created a range of Demo tours here on Kuula.

Many mainstream commercial TV Companies now regularly use drones as part of their media content. Companies such as the BBC and ITV use drones on a daily basis for natural history programs, educational video productions, news reporting and sports events. Aerial drone shots have produced iconic images in programmes such as Blue Planet and several major domestic and international sporting events.

Tourism
In the early days of drone technology, it was relatively static due to the amount of assisting technology required. Now, drones can be transported in small cases and deployed almost anywhere in the world for very little cost. The chance to explore a destination in intimate detail is one that more and more people are now getting involved in, with advertising for tourism taking the opportunity to provide footage from previously inaccessible locations, and tourists who can’t afford the cost of travel buying drone footage that gives them a unique way to visualize a range of exotic locations.
