DEMO & Open House. FREE! Remote Control Aerial Photography (DroneCam)

Class Description

You’ve all seen those incredible photographs and videos taken from the sky. You think to yourself “It’d sure be nice if I could fly my own airplane and capture those amazing stills and videos from above that I’ve seen and dreamt about - but I’m not a pilot and owning or renting airplanes and helicopters are just too expensive.” That’s all changed. Aerial photography is easier than ever, with drones!

This DEMO is designed to provide you a brief and exciting overview of Remote Control Aerial Photography (RCAP) to get you off the ground quickly, safely and creatively.

If you’ve been curious about flying drones, or have recently bought that shiny new quadcopter and want to learn how to fly safely, responsibly and create outstanding aerial imagery, then this DEMO is for you. You’ll learn a bit about how this ultra-hot technology began, where it can take you, best practices for recreational and commercial flying, and cinematic maneuvers.

Refreshments and Snacks provided!
