How we do it

As chief pilot Phil Fearnley is qualified to fly drones upto 20kg but most TV companies are taking advantage of our super lightweight, super fast DJI Inspire 2 with its cinema quality cameras. This new breed of aircraft have super 35mm cameras with high quality custom built lenses. Each one capable of filming up to 6k CDNG (RAW) or 4k Prores / ProresRaw. We also fly the tiny DJI Mavic Pro, perfect when size and quietness are super important.

How we work

"I have worked with Phil Fearnley and Halo Vue ( as a producer and director) for several years and on a good number of high profile shows for the BBC and ITV. Phil is always promt, quick to understand the brief, adaptable, professional and good company. The images are of the highest quality. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Halo Vue to others."

The best I have seen

"Working with Phil and Halo Vue gave me the chance to stand back and do my job as DOP as I had 100% faith that they would deliver beautiful drone shots without the need for me to be watching over a monitor. The results these guys produced are some of the best I have seen and would always get my clients to use Halo Vue for any drone footage."
