Construction in the Air!

Image
For us, 'doing what you love' is more than a pipe dream.  The entirety of our work revolves around the same goal, to provide a captivating, cinematic view of the world from above.  We have pushed the boundaries of ordinary in our approach to 'aerialography' and strive to remain actively involved in finding new areas to benefit. With a world of rapidly increasing technology, there is no one way to apply our services.  Some of our most unique and highly appealing fields of work have been with construction, commercial real estate, contractors, and community developers. Simply put, the outcome is remarkable. What better way to envision such a widely spaced project, than to view it from the air? See for yourself... If you have an upcoming community project and would like to hear more about the aerial possibilities we offer, please give us a call (562) 381-0231 , email us at info@lavideodrone.com , or visit us online at www.la

DUAL-OPERATOR CONTROL Our drones are manned by two operators at all times. One operator is controlling the drones flight while the other operator controls the camera. This ensures our promise of seamless 4k aerial footage and allows us to maintain exceptional safety regulations mandated by the FAA. OUTDOOR FLYING All LA Video Drone pilots are members of the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) and we abide by, but are not limited to, the following community-based safety guidelines; Maximum flying altitude of 400ft. Line of Sight at all times with LA Video Drone aircraft. Maintaining awareness of manned aircraft operations and remaining a safe distance with zero interference, avoiding obstacles at all times. Maintaining a safe of 25ft or more from unprotected persons, moving vehicles and vulnerable property. Awareness of ‘No fly Zones’ within a 5 mile radius of airports and mandatory contact with control towers in case of closer proximity. Hazardous weathe

What is Ultra HD 4K?

Image
4K (also known as UHD)  is an image technology that quadruples the number of pixels found within a full HD picture. These pixels are usually arranged in a 3,840 x 2,160 configuration comparative to only the 1920 x 1080 you get in a full HD TV. The additional resolution in 4K images is a dramatic increase in detail, providing more depth and overall color saturation to the picture. The image quality results are incredibly lifelike and easily closer in comparison to the view through a window as opposed to the view of a television screen. Within the film-making community, 4K quality has been said to reproduce the same resolution and ‘finish’ you would get with 35mm film, in pixel form. See for yourself, the capabilities of this amazing technology! > > >  WATCH HERE
