What happens when I've booked drone filming, but the weather is bad?
Drone filming can make for some excellent footage, showing what you want to film from an entirely new angle that no one has seen or will see (unless their name is Peter Crouch).
There are several factors to consider when it comes to drone filming, including where you can or cannot film.
In this blog, we’ll explore what happens if you’ve a drone filming session booked, but it’s raining outside.
WHY CAN’T WE FLY A DRONE IN BAD WEATHER?
It’s actually pretty dangerous to do drone filming in bad weather, because there’s a lot
of technical equipment, rain water can get on the lens, which can spoil the shot, and strong winds can leave you in some serious bother.
SO WHAT DO WE DO?
Usually, when it is raining, you get a small window of opportunity, and it doesn’t rain all day.
Anyone British can attest to the fact that days like that can happen, and if they do, there isn’t much we can do about it apart from rescheduling.
We can also explore other options; perhaps do a little more filming on the ground, or try to get the shot we want in a different way.
We’re always checking the weather, making sure to try and get the shot, and we always will get the shot if we have the window of opportunity.
But if we can’t, we can’t. There are always other days!
It’s a fairly short answer to a pretty common question, but the video above is worth watching for Mike’s Singing in the Rain tribute at the end if nothing else!
And that’s what we do if it rains.
