What is aerial cinematography?

Aerial cinematography is the art of capturing dynamic, cinematic footage from above using drones. It brings scale, motion, and unique perspective to film, TV, and branded content.

What drones do you use for aerial cinematography?

We fly the Freefly Alta X, DJI Inspire 3, and custom FPV drones — each chosen based on the shot requirements. Our packages support RED Komodo, Sony FX6, and more.

Are you FAA-certified and union-compliant?

Yes — we’re FAA Part 107-certified, and our drone crews include IATSE Local 600 members, making us fully compliant for union film and TV productions.

Do you offer multi-operator aerial setups?

Absolutely — our crews operate with a dedicated pilot, camera operator, and visual observer when needed, enabling complex shots with full control.
