Despite high winds, two drones were deployed and GV’s captured of the dramatic scenery was followed by a piece to camera. All in all, Skylark spent four hours on site using two drones and varying lenses to capture the event. Skylark also carries multiple battery packs allowing drone deployment over a whole day.
