ver wondered what it’s like to be a professional drone operator? At C&C Drone Services, every day brings new skies, new stories, and new challenges. Whether flying over historic churches, sprawling countryside, or local businesses, the job is as rewarding as it is exciting.

Morning: Planning and Preparation

The day starts early with careful planning. Checking weather conditions, mapping out flight paths, and ensuring all drone equipment is ready and fully charged are essential first steps. Safety and compliance with local regulations are top priorities.

Midday: On Location

Arriving at the shoot location, whether it’s the serene Lake Vyrnwy or the charming Much Wenlock Windmill, means setting up and testing the drone. Each site requires a unique approach—some need cinematic sweeping shots, others detailed close-ups.

Afternoon: Flying and Filming

Flying the drone requires skill and focus. Capturing smooth, steady footage involves piloting with precision, adjusting for wind and lighting, and sometimes coordinating with clients on the ground. This is where the magic happens—turning ordinary scenes into breathtaking aerial visuals.

Evening: Editing and Reviewing

Back at the studio, raw footage is reviewed and carefully edited. Colour correction, cutting, and adding music or voiceovers bring the story to life. It’s the final step before sharing with clients or publishing on the website and social channels.
