Advanced Aerial Cinematography Certificate
This course is a must for film professionals who want to specialise in aerial cinematography.
The Film Industry is highly competitive and one of the most exciting industries to be in for any drone pilot. There is however a great deal of knowledge and expertise pilots need to acquire in order to compete in this space.
Using the latest technology, we offer students the opportunity to fly ‘on location’ at our outdoor flight area which has man made and natural features to hone their skill.
Learn camera setup (DSLR & Cinema), Drone manoeuvres, Gimbal manoeuvres, safe flying practises, pre, principal & post production planning and more. We ensure that students are aware of all current CAA regulations and that rules and privacy is taken into consideration for every flight.

"Exceptional facilities and very detailed instruction. The practical training was fun and inspired confidence."
PG Harper
"I was on the introduction course and I think that this course needs to be included with every drone sold in SA."
SR Fisher
"The flying was fun but I didn’t expect to learn about all the laws that must be followed. I definitely feel that I’m a safer hobbyist now."
