Aircraft
Freefly Alta X
Heavy lift drone capable of carrying most cinema cameras, allowing you to fly the camera and lens of your choice.
DJI Inspire 3
The more advanced drone of its form factor, capable of capturing 8K/75fps in ProRes Raw, with dual-native ISO and 14+ stops of latitude. The footage can be graded to cut seamlessly with professional ground-based cinema cameras.
DJI Inspire 2
One of the most advanced quadcopters, capable of recording in multiple formats including CinemaDNG Raw and ProRes. It’s also versatile - great for chasing fast moving cars and boats as well as slow tracking shots. The camera gimbal can be operated separately from the aircraft, making it the go-to choice for most productions.
Komodo FPV
We fly the Komodo FPV to capture high-speed, dynamic shots with cinematic clarity, pairing the agility of FPV drones with the power of the RED Komodo. It's perfect for action sequences, tight spaces, and high-impact visuals that demand immersive movement. When directors need energy and precision in motion, Komodo FPV delivers.
Ember FPV (High-speed)
Ember FPV is perfect for capturing high-speed action in razor-sharp slow motion. Paired with Freefly’s Ember camera, this configuration captures ultra high-frame-rate footage while maintaining the precision and agility of FPV flight. From explosive moments to fast-paced stunts, it reveals every detail with stunning clarity.
Micro FPV
Perfect "stunt" drones - great for flying underneath a vehicle, through the window, etc. When the story calls for a gravity-defying move, this will be your option - there are an endless possibilities.
DJI Mavic 3 Pro
The Mavic 3 Pro’s triple-camera system allows us to capture shots at 24mm, 70mm, and 166mm (35mm equivalent) in 4K. Equipped with a Hasselblad camera, dual telephoto cameras, and ProRes recording capability, it is a solid choice for small to mid-size productions.
