April 2023 - Drone Pilot Tain for Glenmorangie advert

A few days filming with Ross of Trenchone Industries Ltd who is making and advert for Glenmorangie so I am doing the aerial filming for it. Fun place to fly and used a little mix of mini 3 pro and the Inspire 2 with X7 Camera. Sunrise and low light used the X7. The distillary is actually within a live firing range for RAF but today it was Sunday so they were closed and day two I phoned them and was all good to fly as we were finished by 9am when they opened so they were happy. Secondly there is also a railway line running along front of distillery so Ross spotted for me as you can fly over the tracks but not if a train is there then need to be 50m away. Well with the large drone, mini 3 pro doesn’t matter and no spotter needed. Sunday we never saw a train but a few early morning on Monday.

The last time here I remember flying in the still with the mavic 2 pro and the video looks awesome and so smooth. But I remember the flying was so hard with all the metal and the drone would freak out every so often which kept me on the edge! It never actually did anything funny just flashed loads of warnings.

Fairly straight forward GV’s of the new Glass house which was in construction last time we were there.

The old and the new parts of the distillery

The distillery and the arrival of a crane stopping us filming as a bit obvious in the shots lol.

AUGUST 2019 - Filming Whisky and Distilleries for WOW Scotland

A tour of some of Scotland distilleries on a tasting tour. Fun day out filming and got to see a barrel of whisky worth £1.2m! It was only a third full as the rest had evaporated! Also got to visit a cooperage where they make whisky barrels. My grandad did this all his life so it was pretty interesting to see. They fairly graft!

The 1953 barrel is worth £1.2m and is only a third full as the rest evaporated:)
