Drone Filming
Drone Filming Services in Dubai
Cinematic aerial video and photography across Dubai and the UAE, flown by a permitted crew with the approvals handled as part of the work.
Most aerial briefs arrive as one of three things: a property that needs to look like somewhere worth travelling to, a site that needs documenting accurately, or a film that needs a shot no ground camera can get. They are not the same job, and they are not flown the same way.
We are Dubai-based and permitted by both the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and the General Civil Aviation Authority, which means commercial work across the UAE rather than Dubai alone. The crew are filmmakers as well as pilots — the difference shows in whether the footage cuts together or simply exists.
What we shoot
Cinematic aerial video
High-resolution footage for brand films, commercials, campaigns and property launches.
Aerial photography
Stills from the air for print, press kits, OTA listings and property marketing.
FPV fly-throughs
Continuous single takes that move through a space. Covered properly on the FPV page.
Progress documentation
Repeatable site coverage for developers, shot from consistent positions so the sequence actually compares.
Destination films
Tourism and destination work where the geography is the story.
Events
Coverage of things that happen once, where the scale is the point.
How a shoot runs
- Brief. Location, dates, what the footage is for, and where it will be published.
- Airspace check. What the location allows, and which approvals it needs.
- Approvals. Permits and property permissions, handled by us.
- Flight plan. Shot list, flight paths, timings, and the light we are shooting for.
- Fly. Usually built around the hour at either end of the day.
- Post. Grade, cut, and delivery in the formats the brief needs.
Equipment
The aircraft we fly:
- DJI Inspire 3
- DJI Mavic 4 Pro
- DJI Mavic Air 3
- FPV drone systems
- Stabilisers and gimbals
Which one goes up depends on the shot. An Inspire 3 and an FPV rig are not interchangeable, and choosing between them is most of the difference between footage that serves the edit and footage that merely exists.
Questions we get asked
What is included in a drone filming day?
A permitted pilot and crew, the aircraft and the approvals for that location, the flying itself, and the footage delivered graded and cut to whatever the brief asked for.
What is not included by default is unlimited revisions or a second flying day if the weather closes in. Both are normal; both get agreed up front rather than argued about afterwards.
How far ahead do you need to book?
Enough time for the approvals, which is the part that varies. A straightforward location can move quickly; a shoot near controlled airspace, a port or a government property needs considerably longer. Tell us the location early and we will tell you what the lead time actually is.
What resolution do you deliver?
High-resolution video and stills suitable for broadcast, campaign and print use, with social crops delivered alongside. The exact format is set by what the footage is for rather than by a spec sheet.
Can you shoot stills and video on the same flight?
Usually yes, though they are different jobs in the air. Stills want stillness and the right minute of light; video wants movement. If both matter, we plan the flight order rather than hoping one falls out of the other.
