EMAV CLIENT PORTAL

It has finally gone live – after much deliberation and plenty of soul-searching, actually scrub that, it was an easy decision to make, we are proud to bring you the all new and shiny EMAV Client Portal. Rather than relying on external websites to transfer your photos and videos, we can now do this all in-house – streamlining the process…

CAA Drone Code

We’re often asked when we’re out and about “Are there any rules?” and “How do I do it properly?” and the best answer we can give on the spur of the moment is “Check out the CAA Drone Code!”. It’s the bible here in the UK for how you should be doing it, any good operator will be adhering to…

INSPECTIONS

First of all, a very happy New Year to each and every one of you from us here at EMAV! A little late, I know, but it’s all been a little hectic here in the office and I’ve only just got the chance to put virtual pen to virtual paper. And the topic for today’s little ramble is “inspections”, but…

Are you an estate agent or property photographer?

What the PfCO?

(Note, since Dec 2020, a PfCO has not been required for commercial operations, however we’ve left this blog post in from Oct 2019 as a reference source, it was valid at the time and some elements of it are still valid.)
