DRONES under 2kg may soon be operated without a licence so the Film and Television Instititute is running drone camera courses.

Traditionally aerial shots are ludicrously expensive, putting them out of reach of budding film-makers. Even buying stock footage can cost thousands.

But with a 2kg drone you can stick on a GoPro and let ’er rip.

The FTI’s running training in conjunction with pilots from Coptercam, a Malaga-based aerial film company that recently worked on aerial scenes in the new Robert Connolly film Paper Planes. The two-weekend course starts November 22 and all the info’s at http://www.fti.asn.au
