The Skylens F8 UAV – our new Octo-copter
The F8 is an octo-copter – a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) specifically developed for aerial video and photography.
These systems have very stable flight characteristics providing smooth video footage and quality stills.
Using our UAV systems we can fly between 1m and 120m high to produce images that are stunning. Follow the action with a “fly-through”, under or over bridges to produce footage that is unique to this type of system.
Shooting in HD our footage is suitable for a selection of output ranging from website to film / TV use.
The Skylens F8 is an octo-copter (eight rotor) electrically – powered vehicle with a stabilised camera head which is able to fly and hold its position in winds up to 10m/s (20mph). It is very quiet in flight allowing us to film in areas that may be sensitive to noise such as in the vicinity of animals.
A live view from the camera is displayed on the ground station in real-time, allowing the client as much or as little input as they would like.
The F8 is constantly updating its position using GPS and hovers in position hold without any operator input. It also has various safety features including a dual-signal control transmission to ensure there is always full control of the vehicle and an auto landing in case of emergency.
The Skylens UAV is operated by a qualified photographer (BA Hons) so the client is safe in the knowledge that we know our business and have an eye for an image!
Skylens is authorised to operate by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) under the Air Navigation Order 2009.
