Description:
Elevate your aerial cinematography with hands-on training in dynamic flight maneuvers, gimbal control, and visual storytelling. This applied workshop introduces pilots to professional camera settings, frame rate selection, compositional framing, ND filter usage, and fluid multi-axis flight movements tailored for commercial video production, real estate marketing, and creative media projects. 
Participants will learn how to design smooth tracking shots, reveal sequences, and cinematic transitions safely while capturing high-quality aerial footage in field environments. 

Weather Dependency & Flight Requirements 
  • Weather-Dependent Operations: Outdoor flight applications and sensor calibration are strictly subject to weather conditions (wind, visibility, and precipitation). Rain dates or alternate indoor simulation modules will be communicated if weather restricts safe flight operations. 
  • Prerequisites & Equipment: Prior basic flight experience is recommended. Aircraft and thermal imaging payloads will be integrated during on-site demonstrations and supervised flight exercises.
