I am now able to offer Drone videos and photography.

This is additional to my normal photography and videography. The drone is a lightweight, state-on-the-art DJI model. It conforms to CASA’s Sub 2 kg drones for business use – excluded category.

Basically, I am allowed to fly the drone throughout outer areas of Cairns away from the airport as long as I conform to these rules. I cannot fly within 5.5 Km of the airport under any circumstances, as the requirement for me are too excessive at this time. This means no flying over Cairns city, North Cairns, Machans Beach, Holloways Beach, most of Yorkeys Knob, Freshwater, Edge Hill, Portsmith, Parramatta Park, etc.  I have a map application which shows these areas. Additionally, my drone will not actually fly within these areas – the restrictions automatically stop it.

I do, however, still have my 8-metre tall tripos that has no restrictions. However, this still leaves many areas that can be covered.

There are other safety condition that must be followed. That being said, drone flying is not possible during rain or moderate to high winds. I have little control over these.
