UNTV employs DJI Phantom drones for broadcasting

UNTV has just announced that they will actively employ drones to help them in broadcasting and news reporting. The station claims to be the first one to use them for taking videos to use in their daily broadcasts.

Based on their report it looks like UNTV is using the DJI Phantom for taking aerial footages.

They’ve used the same drones in taking videos in the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda and during the procession of the Nazarene. UNTV is also using drones to get videos for their traffic reports.

Using drones make more sense and is cost-effective compared to renting helicopters and flying cameramen over to take videos.

Last month, the Department of National Defense also announced they will be acquiring drones to assist them in surveillance, security, and search & rescue operations.

    I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website
    owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever
    before.

    the first Porsche entered the 500. It’s honestly, the easiest method to make a little extra money today.

    What does CAAP have to say about this? :)

    • Robert says:

      I do not think CAAP has something to do with drones and flying toys, not unless you will use and fly them past 200-400 feet within the aerodrome of the NAIA.

  15. jhapoy says:

    @Easy E yes gumagamit sila para sa kanilang sariling pakinabang.. hindi naman tayo nakinabang lahat, ang UNTV sila ang unang gumamit ng drone na mapapakinabangan mo, ikaw, at ako.. naghahatid ng balita. at tama si aaron, isang beses lang sila gumamit sa hindi naman mahalagang bagay para sa laaht.

    • Sikinisipepito says:

      Si Raffy Tima ng GMA 7 gumamit din nyan kaso mga late December pa lang December (23, 2013). Siguro napanood nya yung Drone ng UNTV sa Yolanda.

    • wew says:

      GMANews used a drone to cover the feast of the black nazarene.

  16. aaron says:

    @Easy E, yes they may have used it once but not for daily broadcast

  17. Xtine says:

    Ay bonggang innovator talaga ang UNTV. Sila din ang nauna na magkaron ng News and Rescue team na rumoronda araw araw. Ginaya lang ng iba pero di nila magawa arawa araw.

  18. Easy E says:

    ABS CBN used a drone with go pro in their anniversary celebration coverage last year.

  19. arsjsn says:

    Anong tv station kaya ang unang GAGAYA sa untv? hmm..

  20. Gman says:

    A flying drone ngayon, coming soon: underwater drone at rescue drone. Wow grabe, superb! ito talaga ang paggawa ng mabuti without hypocrisy. Kung ginagamit ito ng iba sa masama, dito sa UNTV, bubuti lahat ang intensyon ng paggamit. Talagang public service

  21. Limiter says:
