What mast height should I choose?
Key Considerations:
How high do you need to reach to properly aerial camera survey a two, three, four or even five storey roof or solar array?
Do you really need a drone capable of flying up to the legal limit of 400ft if most of your surveys are up to 50ft?
Is the camera on your drone really going to give you 18.2 megapixel photos and 20 x optical zoom, as with just one of Vantage Point Products camera systems that provides remote live view and remote control at 50ft / 15m / five storeys high?
Would you rather safely elevate a DSLR, APS-C size sensor, micro four thirds or mirrorless camera, with a quality lens of your choice, or a pro high zoom compact, rather than rely on a tiny drone camera?

This article raises some important points to consider if you a trying to decide whether to use a drone or a mast (or both!) to capture elevated aerial images.
Every business owner has to weigh up the costs vs the benefits of using a camera pole system, especially when compared to using a drone.
Our mast systems are highly versatile and are compatible with a wide range of imaging devices, but camera compatibility and safe control at height is a vital subject in the world of aerial imaging.
If you have a tight shoot deadline or are ordering from outside the UK, it will be worth taking a look at our shipping and delivery information or contacting us prior to purchase so that we can help you plan for success.
