CAUTION!
We're Talking Tech Stuff Here! 

SkyFly utilizes two types of aerial camera platforms. We employ both single rotor and multi rotor airframes.  Both have unique flight and safety attributes that are balanced before any flight operations take place. Both platforms are controlled via the brain or the flight controllers. The Flight Controllers are the like the central nervous system of the units. They consist of a GPS flight assistance and autopilot as well as altitude, position hold modules. 

All SkyFly’s aerial platforms are equipted with Redundant Flight Control Systems
These Flight Control Systems offer special redundant safety features. On an octocopter, the failure of one motor will not cause a crash and the copter will continue to fly safely. This redundant system provides our platforms with a duplicate Flight Control boards that keep the copter stable even if there is a failure in the primary Flight Control board.

The third function the flight controller is to provide an Emergency Failsafe Option.
If the copter’s flight control receiver loses contact with the ground, the copter will automatically return to the take-off point at a preset height chosen by the pilot. If for any reason the flight voltage drops below a selected threshold value, the copter will also return to the take-off point, and automatically land.

 No Secret Sauce Here!

 So we get this one all the time…
How do we see what’s being shot? Well theres no secret sauce here. The airborne camera is pulgged into a long range downlink. The camera see it, sends it down to you, you see it.  How difficult can the be…

Simple Correct! 
WRONG! The technology is not the challenge here. What make this process work is communications and practice. Lots and lots of practice. The pilot and camera operator are aways focused on two entirely different views. The pilot is 100% involved the flight path and safety of the vehicle while the camera operator is all about the framing of the shot.
And here is where the whole thing starts to fall apart. Lets look at a blocked camera shot sequence to see whats going on here.
This is a pretty typical shot. you’ve most likely seen it before.
Note - The camera is attached to the UAV at all times. They are displayed here in two tracks for clarity. 

This shot sequence starts with the camera and UAV pointing in the same direction. But as the shot progress and the camera tracks the car. You see the camera is well past 180 deg away from the UAV’s track. So when the Camera Op. tells the pilot to track left  a few yards… the UAV is in the tree. NOT GOOD. This issue is compounded by the fact the Pilot and at the camera Op. are facing each other. This is a common issue due to the fact the pilot needs a vantage point to allow for contact avoidance,  in the case trees. 

So now we unstained the challenges, how do we solve them. 
Back to practice, practice, practice and communicate.
