A BIRD’S EYE VIEW
recent advances in technology and the explosion in the use of drones (other than for military use!) is revolutionising the way we can view ourselves, what we do and where we live. One local man, Kye Otridge, has jumped at the
opportunity to master this technology and create a new business as a result. Established in late 2014, his new business, SkyworX
Media, is an opportunity for him to bring together all his hobbies and passions into a challenging new career. Growing up in and around Dartmouth (not including an 8 year break living in Brighton), Kye says, “ I wanted my work to celebrate the beautiful area I’m lucky enough to live in and my love of the outdoors. Using all my experience in teaching adventure activities (such as climbing, kayaking, mountain biking), sailing on the river plus a love of photography I am able to use my drone to capture high quality, dynamic videos and photographs from a fresh and elevated perspective.”
A bird’s eye view of Dartmouth M
any a photograph or video of Dartmouth has been taken from the land or the water but not much from the air. The
After lots of hard work and rigorous testing SkyworX is now fully insured and BNUS-qualified, with permission for aerial work from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The drone is 550mm in diameter and can fly in 20 knots of wind and uses a Gopro Hero 4 black. Kye is able to view what the drone is filming using a screen that receives a 5.8ghz video radio signal from the drone. Kye hopes to upgrade to a drone that is twice as big, carries a DSLR camera and can fly in 40 knots of wind. Whether it’s filming your property, event, product or a building for a land survey, Skyworx can bring you high definition photos and videos with stunning angles. Weddings, sporting events, architecture, promotional films and much more are capable of being filmed from the air. If you’re an extreme sports junky wanting to get the best view of your adventure, a bride and groom
looking to capture your special day from a unique point of view or a forward thinking organization trying to leave a real impression on your customers, filming by drone can offer a new way to capture the action.
