Licensed Drone Pilots in Italy

As a rule, ORBIS Production Aerial Filming team includes aerial filming for each of our commercial projects in Italy. The team of pilots usually consists of 3 people - the drone operator, co-pilot and mechanic.

Our team also films with FPV drones in Italy. FPV Drone is a racing sports quadcopter on which the latest GoPro 13 or RED Komodo camera is installed. This allows us to transmit stunning first-person shots at high speeds. Such drones do not have "parking sensors", so they can capture the sharpest corners and fly in places inaccessible to ordinary drones.
Our main quadcopter for aerial photography in Italy is DJI Inspire 3 an DJI Inspire 2 with the X7 camera. We also provide professional aerial filming services with heavy drones like FreeFly Alta X, capable of lifting such cameras as ARRI Alexa and RED V-Raptor. Upon request, we also provide a helicopter shooting services using gyro-stabilized camera systems such as Shotover.

Our pilots have flown hundreds of hours on this drone and know how to get the most out of it. We shoot in 4K/6K/8K/12K resolutions using the ProRes RAW codec. Thanks to its wide dynamic range, this shooting mode lets us capture all the details, even in unfavorable lighting conditions. In post-production, we usually enhance the colors of the video and sync the footage with the RED V-Raptor 8K main film camera, which allows us to achieve a dazzling cinematic result.
We cooperate with well-known brands in Italy and create unique visual content for them with the help of high-quality aerial photography. You can spot our pilots in Lombardy, Veneto, Tuscany, Sardinia, Umbria, Como, Palermo, Venice, Rome, Bari, Genoa, San Remo, Piedmont, and other stunning locations in Italy, where one can capture unique images using the latest technology.
