01 Overview

Cinema grade aerials for adventure sports films, documentaries and TV series — legally flown across the UK and Europe.

Clement is the owner and operator of a DJI Inspire 2 with the X5S camera, recording up to 5.2K ProRes. He has flown it in sub-zero temperatures and at altitudes up to 4,000m. With the MFT mount and a 90mm lens, it is ideal for natural history series: filming animal behaviour and landscapes from above, at a respectful distance.

The DJI Mavic 3 is the compact option for remote locations, still delivering 5.1K in 10-bit colour.
