Case Study: Different View Photography saves hours on drone flight planning with Dronedesk

How Oliver takes the stress out of flight planning for Different View Photography

Different View Photography, a solo photography and videography business operated by Oliver Dickinson, struggled with the immense administrative burden of manually planning drone flights. This time-consuming process, which involved creating paper-based risk assessments and collecting data for each flight, was taking valuable time away from core business activities like finding and executing jobs. The solution came when Oliver discovered Dronedesk, a flight planning software, which he learned about from its founder during a chance meeting.

Dronedesk streamlined Oliver's workflow by automatically populating flight plans with necessary data, allowing risk assessments to be cloned with one click for repeat locations, and logging all flight times automatically. This solution saved him countless hours of admin, enabling him to confidently accept last-minute jobs he otherwise would have refused. The measurable impact was significant, as the time saved with Dronedesk allowed Oliver to focus on growing his business, leading to high-profile work for clients like IBM, ITV, and BBC on a documentary that garnered 200 million views.
