Why Two Blue Drones + Digital?

Two Blue Drones + Digital will always get your shot done the right way, every time. Why? Sam Cornwall has been serving premier photographers and brands as a digital tech, lighting director, photo assistant and photographer since 2007. Now, Sam is expanding his services into Two Blue Drones + Digital to better serve his clients and the ever-evolving photo industry. Sam brings 15 years of on-set experience working with top clientele in a wide variety of locales and settings. Depending on the needs of the shoot, Sam can provide drone shots and teching or assisting services to achieve maximum crew efficiency. While Sam has been flying drones since 2014, drone cameras haven't been ready for primetime until now. Two Blue Drones + Digital flies the cutting-edge Sony Airpeak and the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine that can, exclusively, handle the rigors and precise demands of your professional photoshoot.
Camera settings: raw DNG, ISO 150, 1/50th, f2.8, 70mm equivalent lens, ND filters to allow for shutter drag
Here's an example of the precise camera control we can deliver with our flying tripods. The client, Full Body, and photographer wanted to highlight the motion and speed of the serve in tennis. We used the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine for the run-and-gun aspects of the shoot. Camera settings: raw DNG, ISO 150, 1/50th, f2.8, 70mm equivalent lens, ND filters to allow for shutter drag, processed in Capture One Pro. The results look like a it was shot on a tripod.
The Drones
Sony Airpeak
The Sony Airpeak is the most sophisticated and advanced photography drone on the market. We fly the Sony A1 with pro lenses from 16mm - 100mm. The Airpeak is a flying tripod for stills and even compatible with strobes. For video, it delivers the cinematic look Sony is known for. This changes everything you know about drone imaging. Other Sony cameras are available to fly, like the FX3 or A7RV. Flight times are short, but hot-swappable batteries and the Sony recharging case allow you to fly all day.
DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine
The run-and-gun champ for your photo and video needs. The DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine shoots raw stills and ProRes log video with built-in 24mm, 70mm and 160mm lenses. No need to land to swap lenses. It's small footprint allows for takeoffs and landings anywhere. While, not the same cinematic image quality as the Sony Airpeak, the Mavic 3 Pro provides image quality that meets many clients' needs. Livestreaming? With 1080p 60fps HDMI output of the controller, we can provide livestreaming for sports, corporate, security or other events.
