TETHERED DRONE FILMING

Skyshot, along with our aerospace engineering partner, Flare Dynamics, developed the LIFELINE Tethered Drone system that allows us to operate in these drone "No-Fly" zones. Powered only by a ground battery system with no onboard batteries in the drone allowed, there is virtually no chance for the drone to malfunction and "fly away" remotely. The drone flight height is limited by the tether length of 50 meters, well suited for low high-air traffic areas. It is certified by the CAAS for use in Singapore.

Filming in Restricted Airspace

Singapore has very strict drone "No-Fly" zones around Seletar and Changi Airport. Very often, this restriction extends to the 3 military airbases as well. This area of restriction covers around 50% of Singapore's airspace. However, CAAS can allow the use of tethered drones in these restricted areas. We have done many filming projects near Changi Airport, Seletar Airport, and Pulau Tekong, with our Lifeline Tethered Drone system.

Some of our customers are using the Lifeline Tethered Drone for building inspections, and other industrial-related works. Lifeline's long battery life provides the users with more operating time, compared to conventional drones. 

Construction updates -tethered drone singapore (1).jpeg

Skyshot conducts monthly construction filming updates for a number of projects near Changi Airport. This includes the Changi Airport East development, road upgrading in Pasir Ris, and reclamation works in Pulau Tekong.

The tethered drone allowed us to film live events like the National Day Parade Rehearsal at the Yio Chu Kang Stadium. The 2.5 hours of battery life means less downtime and longer coverage.

Lifeline Tethered Drone is used overseas for defense purposes. It is currently also used in Australia for coastal search & rescue efforts and shark watch.

Featured Projects
