Here's How Drone-Works Can Elevate Your News Organization to the Next Level
UAV's (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are becoming essential news gathering tools for TV stations and networks around the world. Drone-Works offers a wide range of aircraft from small portable aircraft to large multi-payload aircraft, as well as a selection of cameras, lenses and accessories that will satisfy the news director as well as the budget director.
News drones are equipped with high definition video cameras and can be used to fly over the scenes of news stories, or simply to capture “beauty shots” for weather forecasts or other videos & photos for the newscast.
Drones are particularly useful in covering natural disasters, environmental and nature news, traffic news, weather news or stories that require showing wide areas of land, such as property or road development or construction, though their use is hardly limited to just these areas.
Drones have the advantage of being smaller and less expensive than news helicopters. Drones are able to fly at lower heights than helicopters and also offer the advantage of being quieter.
Like that captured by news helicopters, drone footage may be aired live via wireless transmission technologies or stored on media for editing and playback later.
The video captured by drones is often recognizable by its fluid movement that is possible from the smaller, more agile devices.
