It depends on your location and the service you require from us, However we recommend giving as much notice as possible -even if it's just an initial enquiry- so we can designate our schedule with what works best for you. As all work is dependant on dry weather, so it helps to schedule accordingly to ensure rain or wind doesn't cancel or interfere with the drone flight.For the safety of all projects we undertake a full flight safety assessment, flight planning and job plan before the confirmed date of flight.

All depends on what service is being sought. Firstly, before we agree any quote we check to see if we have the permission to fly in your desired location. For some locations we might have to externally request for legal permission to fly (we will tell you if this is the case during the booking process). This is to ensure we're not encroaching on no-fly-zones or flight restricted airspace such as airports or prisons etc. Before every flight we check our flight permissions again to ensure we're legally able to fly in your location on the day of the shoot. Before every shoot we assess the weather as we cannot fly during rain or high winds. If the weather changes for the worse during the shoot we will need to hold off filming until the weather improves OR reschedule. If we ever need to reschedule the shoot VistaPorta will not charge an additional fee on top of the already quoted and agreed price. We will simply complete the job at the next available opportunity. On the day of the shoot we conduct a comprehensive site inspection to determine whether the shoot can be completed safely and precisely to ensure that trees, electricity pylons, cables or other obstructions don't interfere with the drone flight. All being well we will give the client a brief discussion of safety procedures and discuss the flight path of the shoot so they're aware of what is happening at all times. Once the shoot is over we will review all footage with the client to see whether additional takes might be needed. For Inspection services - We will submit footage and full inspection report electronically within 24-48 hours depending on the size of the area inspected and level of shoot conducted. A hard-proof report can be sent 1st Class Post for an additional charge, additional expedited turnaround can be requested for a supplement fee.For Marketing services - All footage is sent electronically in accordance to the league time in the agreed quote. League times are determined by the shoot package, nature of shoot, length of shoot and content involved, as well as editing requirements of the client. Additional expedited turnaround can be requested for a suppliment fee.

It depends on which project is being delivered and whether the client requests specific or bespoke editing, colour grading or stylistic retouching of captures and footage. Longer and more complex filming obviously will take longer to edit, or if there's back and forth collaboration. Some jobs -such as aerial photography and roof/ visual inspections- only require minimal editing, as only colour grading is required to highlight areas of interest, therefore can be delivered quicker.For any job we always advise a minimum 24 hours turn-around time so we can fully check, interpret and review all captures and footage before undertaking our final report and sending out the finished product. The turn around time will always be given with each quote so you'll be aware how long it will take to complete your job or assessment.
