Many factors such as payload, weather conditions and aggressiveness of flight can influence the capacities of our UAS fleet.

In a normal situation, our drone platforms dispose of continuous autonomies ranging from 8 to 20 minutes in hover flight. In general, it is important to respect a set limit of 80% of the maximum autonomy of flight to allow for the safe conduct of takeoff and landing procedures. Since our drones are running on an electrical system, we only have to make a quick change of battery packs to immediately return in flight.

Weighing less than 35kg, our drones have the advantage of being subjected to far fewer flight regulations than larger aircrafts. For security reasons, it is important to not exceed a ceiling of 400′ (120 meters) without a valid reason. If necessary, all of our aircrafts can fly as high and for as long as their autonomy will allow, previously taking care to forewarn the authorities in charge.

If you have specific needs about the target altitude to reach, contact us to let us know about it.

Under ideal conditions, our drones can reach top speeds of over 80km/h and ascent and descent speeds of 25km/h.

Like any flying object, the trajectory of a RC drone can be greatly influenced by wind and air currents. Larger than most other multirotor drones on the market, our drone platforms have the advantage of being able to fly in winds up to 45km/h. Before any aerial work, it is important to take a reading of the wind speeds to ensure the safety of everybody around.

A radio controlled UAS mostly consisting of several sensitive electronic parts, rain and heavy snowfalls are also factors which will unfortunately prevent our fleet from leaving the ground.

The operation of a drone is vulnerable to weather conditions that are, in turn, obviously out of our control. Therefore, it is impossible for us to absolutely guarantee the ability of our aerial platforms to execute their intented purposes in outdoor environments at a specific date and time several days in advance.

Yes, it is possible to fly inside any area with an open space large enough for the safe conduct of aerial operations. Stadiums, arenas, gymnasiums, libraries and shopping centers are just a few examples.

If the building is equipped with a door or a large enough opening like a garage door, it is even possible to fly our drones from inside to outside or from outside to inside in one single continuous flight, giving you an incredible artistic freedom.

To fly a multirotor with exposed propellers directly over a crowd is a risky and very dangerous activity. Although our UAS are extremely reliable and we have never experienced a single problem during flight, a simple glitch in the system could potentially quickly turn into a disaster by injuring someone on the ground. This is obviously the kind of situation we want to avoid at all costs.

However, these kind of requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact us to better explain your project to us and to discuss of the risk factors it involves. Often, we can offer you with some really interesting aerial shooting alternatives like our telescopic Polecam system.

We strongly advise that you never do business with a company that will blindly accept to fly a drone over a crowded area. In addition to being a condemned practice by the Transport Canada aviation regulations, any person engaging in this type of activity demonstrates excessive risk-taking behaviour and very little regard for the safety of others.

Although the propulsion system of our drones is entirely electric, their propellers in rotation at high speeds produce a characteristic sound which resembles the one of a revved up weed eater. Generally, the higher the mass, the noisier a drone becomes.

If you plan on using one of our drones for aerial imagery on a set where there will also be a sound capture, the noise level emitted by the rotating propellers is indeed a factor that you must be aware of and which is to be considered in your approach.
