I live in Woolacombe, North Devon, so I will take pictures of you house/business if you are in the local area. I can take pictures at any time, in the morning, evening, midday, as long as there is little wind. Pictures can be taken from a height of between 10 to 500ft, and from any angle, provided there are few obstructions, and a clear line of sight from the ground.
Ok, so what are you getting? My camera will produce 8.0 Mega pixel images. As soon as the images are taken, the SD card can be removed from the camera, and the photos written straight onto a CD with my Laptop, or alternatively, I can take the images home with me, and print them onto high quality printing paper, in A3 (maximum).
In a given visit I can fly and land as many times as I want, in a space of 15 minutes. It is theoretically possible for me to take up to 180 photos. After some initial shots, I can land, and bring up some images on my laptop, for you to provide feedback on, before taking the rest, to ensure you are getting what you want. If in a given visit no useable shots have been taken, but you are still interested, it won't be any problem for me to come back. I can come at a time to suit you, or if you are fully booked, I can always take the pictures and email you some examples.
All pictures you receive, will have a very small watermark in the bottom right hand corner, that will read something along the lines of:
"Property of Philip Fulcher - rcaerialphotography.webs.com"
The images you see on the website, have been downsized, and this has made them look, of a lesser quality than they actually are. The images produced are of very high clarity.
So why choose low level RC Aerial Photograph, over photos from a plane? You can expect to pay anything around £300 upward for photos from a micro-lite. Yet light aircraft aren't legally allowed to fly below 1000ft. With an RC AP platform, a flight can be conductied anywhere between 10 to 500ft, and from any angle safely. Not only that, but the cost of AP is extremely low. Compared that with the cost of hiring a real plane, pilot and photographer to take your shots.
A flight can be conducted from the site of interest. No runway is needed amd the product can be produced on site, for viewing by the customer, straight after a flight.
I will visit, and shoot pictures, for FREE, with no obligation to buy whatsoever. Should you decide to buy a/some photo/s then a price based on those below will be arranged. I will accept payment via cash, or cheque. If you choose the latter, you will only receive the pictures after the cheque has been cleared.
Photographs
On CD - Per photo
- Single photo - £15.00
- *Three+ photos (each) - £9.00
Printed (Printing fee is added on to the photo price above)
- A6 - +£3.50
- A5 - +£5.00 (Prices excluding P+P)
- A4 - +£8.50
- A3 - +£12.00
*If you wish to have three or more photos taken, the price per photograph will only be £7.50, as a pose to £15.00.*
Distance fee (to location, not including from. Only applicable when distance exceeds 10 miles from my home.)
Per mile - +£0.20
The distance will be calculated using 'Google Maps', which will provide, accurately what distance you are from my home. I will print a copy off, of the map, and total distance, if you wish.
Example - Your a company in Barnstaple and want four photographs taken of your factory, one from each side. You would like the pictures on CD, because you wish to use them on your website. The total price for the photographs would be £36. The distance fee to Barnstaple is 12.5miles x .20p = £2.50. So the total cost of the shoot would be just £38.50. Thats for four very unique 8.0 Mega pixel high quality images, taken from the sky - just £38.50.

All digital images shall remain the property of Philip Fulcher, and thus 'www.rcaerialphotography.webs.com'. Permanent permission to use my shots and to reproduce them is granted to you as the purchaser. I ask that you do not redistribute my work, to any other persons, or agencies. I have worked hard to get my equipment up and running. Please, don't exploit my work.
Philip Fulcher is granted permission to enter onto and fly over the subject property or activity and shall remain free from liability for personal or property damage provided due caution is exercised and reasonable safety procedures are followed.
Despite the above, I am insured by the BMFA, which covers me for £5,000,000.00 for any damage caused to persons or property.
The control system I use: The Spektrum DX7 RX, and AR6100 v1.2 RX has a binding system, that binds the transmitter, and receiver together. When the system is turned on, a channel, out of 80 is picked from the 2.4GHz spectrum. The only chance of receiving interference on my system, would be if another 79 similar transmitters, were being used in the area. Should that happen,as unlikely as it is, the transmitter will produce a warming message. Should signal to the helicopter be lost, a fail safe will engage, cutting the power the motor completely, for safety.
