Professional Drone Operations
What permits are required for drone filming in New York?
Drone filming in New York requires FAA operator registration, pilot certification, and location-specific authorizations. Flights in controlled airspace, urban areas, or near airports require additional NOTAM and city permits. We handle all permit coordination for your production.
What camera systems do your drones carry?
We operate platforms from DJI Inspire and Mavic series with integrated cameras to heavy-lift systems carrying RED Komodo, ARRI Mini, and Sony Venice cameras. Camera selection depends on your quality requirements, shot complexity, and budget.
Can you fly drones in NYC and other restricted areas?
Yes, with proper authorization. NYC and many urban areas have airspace restrictions requiring city permits and FAA authorization. We have experience securing permits for restricted areas and can advise on feasibility during planning.
How do weather conditions affect drone filming?
Drones require suitable weather: no rain, moderate winds (typically under 25-35 km/h depending on platform), and adequate visibility. We monitor conditions and build weather contingency into schedules. Some platforms can operate in more challenging conditions.
What insurance coverage do your drone operations have?
All operations carry comprehensive liability insurance meeting New York regulatory requirements (minimum $1M, typically $5M for production work). We can provide certificates of insurance for production documentation.
Can drones work alongside other camera platforms?
Yes. We coordinate drone operations with ground cameras, cranes, vehicles, and helicopters. Safety protocols ensure separation and communication between aerial and ground units. Multi-platform shoots require additional planning.
