Drone Services in Melbourne

Licensed drone operator for film, TV, events, property and construction across Melbourne. CASA ReOC Certified. Fully insured. We sort the airspace before the day, not on it.

AIRSPACE CLEARANCE, PERMITS, RESTRICTED ZONES. WE SORT ALL OF IT BEFORE WE SHOW UP.

So many productions hit the same problems. The location looks fine on paper, then someone finds out it's in controlled airspace two days before the shoot. Or the permit process takes longer than the whole timeline. We've been doing this long enough to know what needs to happen before the day. We handle the compliance side so you can focus on the production.

CASA certified. $20 million public liability. We integrate cleanly with any crew.
