We take every precaution so that your experience will be the best possible
Weather would be the number 1 reason we would have to cancel a flight - rain, lighting, winds over 10-15kts just don't make for good/stable aerial photography (and it's bad for the helicopter) -- unless the site is indoors
We pre-flight our helicopter before every flight to ensure systems are in perfect working order
We use redundant systems (batteries, radios, "auto land" feature) in the event any system fails while in-flight
A safety briefing will be conducted before every flight to ensure everybody is on the same page
We will not fly directly over a person or an object that the pilot deems unsafe - the pilot has sole discretion as to where and when we fly
We check to see if any frequencies in the area would affect our radios
