Specialist CASA approvals, an extensive fleet and experience dating to the 1990s. Lensaloft handles the complexity so the client can focus on the result.
Beyond standard operations
Many of the most useful drone perspectives sit outside standard operating conditions. Lensaloft’s specialist approvals can open legal pathways for operations over and near people, commercial FPV under EVLOS, night, controlled or restricted airspace and flights above the standard 400 ft limit. Lensaloft then manages the airspace, site access, stakeholders, risk, aircraft and crew from planning through delivery. The client does not need to coordinate the moving parts or become an aviation specialist.
Andrew began building and flying remotely piloted rotorcraft in the 1990s, before commercial drones became commonplace. That experience has been applied to major events, live venues, CBD sites and demanding commercial productions for more than 25 years. Lensaloft was also among the early operators to secure approval for drone operations up to 1,000 ft AGL in Melbourne’s CBD.
Applications
Experience in practice
Long relationships with major events and access to demanding locations show how the approvals, aircraft and planning translate into useful imagery.
Approved drone coverage across a live international event precinct, integrated with daily operations and the wider aerial production.
Official drone operations inside and around the MCG, planned for a live venue and major event environment.
Commercial work combining specialist approvals, tailored aircraft and practical production solutions.
Advanced capability
Lensaloft’s specialist CASA approvals provide legal operating pathways for shots that may not be possible under standard conditions. Their value is practical: better access, safer planning and more ways to achieve the required viewpoint without asking the client to manage the aviation.
Every operation is built around the shot, location and risk. Lensaloft handles the approvals, airspace, aircraft, crew, stakeholders and contingencies, then delivers material ready for its commercial use.
Lensaloft operates under a current ReOC with licensed remote pilots, substantial insurance and approvals that extend beyond standard operating conditions.
A broad fleet allows the aircraft and payload to be selected around the shot, access, operating footprint and final commercial output.
The client does not need to coordinate the aviation. Lensaloft develops the operating solution and manages the people, permissions and practical details behind it.
Selected imagery and footage are finished in house and prepared around the campaign, property, architecture, infrastructure or production workflow they need to serve.
