Norwegian Drone Filming for National Geographic

By far our most technically challenging Drone shoot to date back in March for National Geographic has arrived on Channel 4 now. Following the engineering footsteps of some of the world’s greatest railways, this 6 part series looks at the geographical and technological engineering feats and the people who make them possible. ‘Worlds Greatest Train Journey’s from Above’

Drone on snow

We filmed with our DJI Inspire 2 drone along the Bergen to Oslo route in March under some challenging weather conditions where temperatures went as low as -10 degrees in Finse, which is the location for Planet Hoth of Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back. Temperature affects batteries on drones under these conditions, often reducing the time of flight from 25 minutes to under 15 if it’s cold enough, so we had to bring at least 12 daily. So carrying a large drone with batteries, camera and lenses plus ground station equipment in Snow, Trains and cars was really a logistical task to pull off.

 

This National Geographic series is currently being shown on Channel 4.

Mavic Mini 2 Drone Filming in Middlesbrough

We’ve just come off the new series of ‘No Place Like Home’ filming aerial Drone shots for Hungry Bear Media in Middlesbrough.

Filming aerial sequences across Middlesbrough in a built up city was going to be a challenge but under the guidance of Middlesbrough council and our knowledge, safety and cautious approach to flying drones, we took to the skies with a Mavic Mini 2, which is a Sub 250 gram drone and capable of filming closer to people and property.

‘No Place like Home’ for channel 5 sees celebrities re-visiiting places they knew as they grew up and our shoot day for an episode with presenter Chris Kamara would give us the chance to show off Middlesbrough from the air.
