The Drone

BBC Watchdog

BBC Watchdog Live from Manchester Media City is an iconic British programme. For this latest series we used our DJI Inspire2 drone equipped with X7 camera. This camera has an excellent 14 stops of dynamic range which made it ideal choice for filming the night time opening sequence for the programme at the Dock 10 Studio. Showing its stunning setting in Media City. When the BBC approached us to film the opening stinger aerial for this series of Watchdog Live, we recommended the DJI Inspire2 drone with the X7 Cinematic 6K RAW camera. This was the ideal combination for an aerial shot over Salford Quays and the Manchester city skyline.
