Drone filming in Budapest
Drone video and aerial stills in Budapest and across Hungary, for companies and international productions: landmarks, sites, construction, property, events. An experienced drone pilot and camera operator, licensed and insured: we handle the permits.
The telephoto DJI Inspire gave us the frames you cannot get from the ground.
Nagykarácsony is the film where I flew the aerial unit.
Shooting for the cinema screen is always a thrill. Watching it in a cinema with the crew, even more so.
What aerial is good for
Some things simply cannot be shown from the ground: how big the site is, how the hall sits in its surroundings, where the construction has got to, how many people came.
What we are usually asked for
Sites and halls, property and hotels, events and festivals. The crowd and the venue from above. That is the picture that goes into the report.
Rarely enough on its own
Aerial is the frame: it shows where we are. The story is carried by the ground footage.
Over Budapest landmarks
I have flown over many of Budapest's landmarks, the Citadel among them. I know the city's airspace rules and which permit is needed where.
For international productions
Crews from abroad often need a local drone operator in Budapest. We handle the permits, the insurance and the location check, and we work in English.
Licensed and insured
Drone licence, liability insurance and, where needed, a case by case airspace permit. You give us the location and the date; the paperwork is ours.

Aerial: the usual questions
Can you fly a drone in Budapest?
Yes, over built-up areas with a case by case airspace permit. Some locations are not permitted. We check the address beforehand and tell you what is possible.
How much notice do you need?
In Budapest, and over built-up areas in general, the official airspace permit procedure currently takes 33 days. We work with companies that continuously rent airspace, so there is a good chance you will not have to wait the full period. Send us the location and the date and we will tell you the realistic lead time. At a location that does not require a permit we can open the airspace immediately with our licence and insurance.
Do you work with crews from abroad?
Yes. We have worked with international clients and productions, and we communicate in English from the first email to delivery.
What if it rains or it is windy?
We do not fly in strong wind or rain. In that case we agree a new date.
What do we get in the end?
Colour-corrected aerial stills and an edited video, in web and print sizes.
Can we use the pictures freely?
Yes, without limit in your own corporate communication.
Do you fly outside Budapest?
Yes, anywhere in Hungary. We have worked abroad too: across many European countries, and from Ethiopia through Mexico to the Arctic Circle. Where a case-by-case airspace permit is needed, we arrange it.
