Getting a drone in the air is relatively easy. Composing impacting video clips, including the right permissions is another. I have a lot of experience telling stories from the air. From tall mountains and landscapes, to action sports, or following a sports car - whatever you are looking for, there is a high probability that I can assist in your production.

I cover the whole process of insurance and the appropriate permissions. Me and my drone service is fully insured and certified both in open class (A1, A2, A3), and specific category. Everything approved by the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority.

I use a DJI Inspire 3 as my main drone, facilitating for 8K RAW 75 fps, and a DJI Mavic 3 as a portable simpler alternative.

Check out the FAQ’s further down the page if you have any questions. If you can’t find your question feel free to contact me for a non-committal drone chat.

I can also deliver drone photography if you need stills.

FAQ

  • Safety is a key component of any drone operation to mitigate risk to other aircrafts, people and damage to property. I am a certified A1, A2 and A3 drone operator, and I also have permission to operate in the specific category. Always following the guideline directions set by the NCAA. Together we also coordinate with the people involved in the production, and try to film in safe environments.

  • Me and my team operate out of Bergen, but we do travel all around in Norway and some part of the world if need be.

  • Yes, on some airports we can even fly right next to the runway. This does however require more planning due to the fact that flight-time is very limited, and we need to have communication with the flight tower to find available slots between airline flights.

  • No. Norway have some regulations regarding national parks and restriction zones, but it is possible to get permissions in some cases. Contact me for a non-committal chat about drones if you have any questions about your projects.

  • It’s not possible to fly above bigger crowds (like conserts etc. unless they are part of the production). However, we can fly in densely populated areas.

  • The drone is very resilient, but heavy rain and wind above 15 m/s is not possible.

  • Yes that’s possible, specially with the new Inspire 3 drone, which has excellent low-light capabilities. It just requires even more planing and focus on safety.

  • No problem! Some of the most spectacular footage we’ve shot is above water or rivers.

  • The maximum altitude of the drone is 120 meter above ground, set by the NCAA.

  • If you only hire me/us to operate the drone I can provide the raw materials the same day. If this is a part of a complete video production, delivery time will vary depend on the project.

  • I normally use a DJI Inspire 3, with a Mavic 3 as a simpler and more portable alternative.

    I can deliver anything from 8,1K ProRes RAW 75fps down to 4K H265 10-bit.

    For stills I can deliver 44.7 Megapixels RAW DNG images.

    We can convert to a range of different codecs and wrappers If you need something specific.

  • We have the DJI 18mm, 24mm and 50mm f/2.8 mm lenses available.

  • Yes, when using the DJI Inspire 3 drone it possible for one operator to control the drone, one operator to control the camera gimbal and a third to pull focus.

  • Yes, as a client you’ll have the option to watch the whole flight on a provided high brightness monitor

  • This varies greatly depending on the project, travel, risk, number of operators required. Usually starting from 11 500NOK. Contact me for a non-committal price request.
