Case Study: Different View Photography achieves faster drone flight planning with Dronedesk

Different View Photography cuts flight planning to 45 minutes with Dronedesk

Different View Photography, a UK-based solo aerial photography and videography business, faced a significant challenge with manual flight planning. The time-consuming process of gathering data from multiple sources, creating maps, and duplicating paperwork for multi-day shoots was preventing owner Oliver Dickinson from focusing on growth and creative work. This administrative burden even risked causing him to miss out on major opportunities. To address this, he turned to the Dronedesk Pro solution from vendor Dronedesk.

By implementing Dronedesk, Different View Photography automated its planning and centralized its business records. The solution provided automatic data population, one-click cloning of risk assessments for multi-day shoots, and automatic flight logging. This reduced flight planning time from hours to just 45 minutes, enabling the business to accept last-minute jobs. The measurable impact was significant, allowing Oliver to grow from an award winner to a trusted supplier for major clients like IBM, BBC, and ITV, and to efficiently manage complex projects viewed over 200 million times.
