One team from brief to final footage
- End-to-end aerial production
- We take a shoot from the first brief to delivery: planning the shots, securing the approvals, flying the crew and handing over footage in the formats your edit or broadcast team needs.
- The right aircraft for the shot
- DJI Inspire 3 for 8K cinema, heavy-lift FPV for fast tracking shots, the M300 RTK for photogrammetry and survey, and helicopters carrying a Shotover B1 with RED KOMODO for altitude and long flights.
- Permits handled in-house
- Our permit managers file with the GCAA, DCAA, DFTC, ADAC and the Ministry of Defence directly, including property NOCs, so the approvals and the shoot are planned together. How drone permits work in the UAE →
Team and safety
Who flies your shoot
- Crew
- DCAA-certified drone pilots, FPV specialists, camera and gimbal operators, and dedicated permit managers. Together they bring decades of combined experience on commercial and film productions across the Middle East.
- Safety
- Every flight follows DCAA and GCAA regulations. We are licensed and insured, and every shoot gets a risk assessment, including close-proximity FPV and heavy-lift cinema flights.
