Each job is unique and because all aerial photography drone flights are covered by CAA regulations we always carry out a detailed online Pre-flight survey before sending you a final quote.
Remote pilot aerial drone photography and video is affected by the weather especially in the UK therefore DMM Production have a flexible and pragmatic approach to scheduling client work.

We cannot operate our drones in rain or high winds. Also clients may have specific requirements that restrict us to flying at specific times.

The location of the shoot (with an exact postcode), proposed date and a brief containing as much background information as possible on what you want us to photograph and film.

We can then do an initial office based online site survey to see if the shoot is possible and if there are any other factors, flight restrictions or permissions that need to be considered.

In larger filming shoots the drone aerial photography may be a small part of an overall production. However in order to comply with the terms of our CAA license we still need to complete our pre-flight survey. This could involve a physical site visit.

Each job is unique with a mixture of external influences that can affect when and where we can film, but we plan ahead to decrease possible disruptions.

We monitor the weather forecast 5 days in advance of any shoot. If the signs are not good we talk to the client 48 hours prior to the shoot.

At this point we will reschedule the shoot to the next suitable date at no additional cost and the booking deposit is transferred to the new date. Weather in Scotland is unpredictable so we have to be as flexible as possible to ensure that bookings can be rearranged.

If the shoot cannot be re-scheduled due to factors out of our control (live events, client availability) DMM Production do not offer a refund of the initial deposit.

If we both decide to stay with the original date and we have bad weather, we will wait on site as long as possible in the hope of a break in the weather.

The deposit of £100 is due at the time of booking to secure your date and current prices. The deposit is non-refundable.

If the client cancels the shoot within 7 days of the scheduled date. The deposit will not be refunded.

DMM Production retains the copyright of all aerial photography and filmed content.

We can negotiate and agree a buyout of footage for specific filming contracts.

Our clients have full use of all photography and filmed material for their own business promotion, media, print, marketing, advertising and website use. In our terms of service clients are permitted to use all material in conjunction with their media, print and advertising suppliers. Clients are not permitted to sell the material or allow general 3rd parties to use it with prior written agreement with us.

DMM Production promotes our business and services via a diverse combination of media channels. We reserve the right to use any video footage or photograph still images for our own PR purposes, on our website, in a showreel, in printed material and on social media.

With regard to client confidentiality and any embargo provisions, DMM Production agrees not use any video footage or photographs until our client has published the material.

We also reserve the right to supply video footage and photographs to stock libraries at a later date.
