Drone footage

A drone is the fastest way to show scale. A site, a build or a landscape from the air explains in five seconds what half a minute on the ground cannot. It is also the one part of production governed by aviation rules — and breaking them is a matter for the regulator, not the client.

What we deliver

  • Aerial video in 4K including smooth approaches and reveals
  • Aerial stills of sites, land and buildings
  • Construction progress over time — repeated flights from identical positions
  • Aerial coverage of events and sport
  • Securing flight permissions and coordinating with the site operator

Where you may fly is settled in advance

Unmanned flight follows common European rules, with Czech limits over built-up areas, near airports and in protected zones. You do not fly freely over people, and flying over private land is agreed with its owner.

Before a date is set we check the airspace, the permits required and whether the aerial shot is feasible at all. If it is not, we say so immediately — that is cheaper than a cancelled shoot.

03

Weather is part of the plan

Wind, rain and low cloud make a flight impossible or worthless. So we always agree a backup date and schedule flights for favourable light — the hour after sunrise and before sunset.

For sites and buildings there is a practical reason too: a long shadow at two in the afternoon reveals every surface flaw nobody meant to show.

04

A drone gives you shots, not a film

Aerial shots work as an opener and as a bridge between scenes. A film made entirely of fly-throughs tires the viewer within thirty seconds, because there is no human scale in it.

So drone work is planned alongside the rest of the shoot rather than as a separate item. The ratio that tends to work is one aerial shot to three on the ground.

Frequently asked

Do we need the permit, or do you arrange it?
We handle the flight side — operator registration, pilot qualification and notification where required. From the client we need the landowner’s consent and any site-specific rules that apply.
What if it is windy on the agreed day?
The flight moves to the backup date agreed when the job is booked. Flying at the edge of the weather limits is pointless — the footage is unstable and the risk falls on both of us.
