Dont know diddly sqaut about UAVs but am just starting research to find the best UAV out there for filming HD material in bad weather conditions - storms etc. We are hoping to do a film using this and Ive been asked by a major broadcaster to try to find out whether such a thing is possible and if so what type of UAV we'd need to either buy or build. We have all this year to source such an aircraft. Your help would be much appreciated

Yep it should be possible, perhaps with a chaos and jeopardy element as well. PM me and I would be pleased to help.

To ensure success you will need more than one platform that's for sure but they should not cost more than $500 a pop. Depending on how heavy the HD cameras are. Go Pros easy anything else harder. (expensive)

 

I think the go pro would be the very base line camera and I would like to have better quality and perhaps more control on the images. So might need a bigger UAV I guess. But what about cost of UAV and who is making the best ones? Saw the Schiebel camcopter which looks awesome but unsure as to whether this system would go into bad weather and of course it just might be a tad expensive to loose in a storm! Still, we are looking for very best system and will then look at making compromises if expense becomes an issue.

Well you will butt up against regulations if you go much bigger than 20kg AUW.

If your in Schiebel thinking then you will be spending perhaps millions of Rand.
