SCENE 01 / AERIAL DRONE SERVICES

Aerial Drone Services

Licensed drone operators delivering cinematic aerial footage across Indonesia.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Aerial drone services deliver cinematic overhead and sweeping perspectives across Indonesia's stunning archipelago—from Bali's volcanic peaks and emerald rice terraces to Jakarta's sprawling urban landscape. Drones give cost-effective aerial coverage for setting up shots, island reveals, and any production needing elevated viewpoints over Indonesia's extraordinary scenery.

Here is the short of it. We set up fully licensed aerial drone services that comply with Indonesian DGCA rules. Our team manages flight permits, planning with AirNav Indonesia for airspace sign-off, and safety assessments to make sure your production captures stunning aerial footage safely and legally at each location.

Advanced Capabilities

On Location

Our aerial drone services cover Indonesia's most cinematic terrain, from the volcanic calderas of Mount Bromo and Batur to the ridgelines of Padar Island and the coastlines of Bali and Komodo.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We deliver aerial drone services from a pilot and kit base in Jakarta and Bali, fielding crews who combine cinematic flying with the regulatory discipline Indonesia demands. Our operators run today's camera drones with stabilised gimbals and high-resolution sensors, planning each flight around the brief, whether sweeping setting up shots over volcanic terrain, tracking moves with cars and talent, or precise reveals along coastline and ridgeline.

Here is how the picture comes together. Tropical conditions govern each flight plan, so crews favour the calmer morning air before sea breezes and afternoon convection build, manage heat and humidity around batteries and electronics, and clean kit with care after coastal flying to counter salt-air corrosion. Each unit carries spare batteries, ND filters for the bright equatorial sun and backup airframes. For shoots reaching Komodo, Raja Ampat or remote Sumatra, we build compact travel packages that move easily by flight and boat.

Here is what we have to work with. We brief landowners, community representatives and park authorities in advance so aerial work over villages, temples and covered areas proceeds with full clearance. Aerial work in Indonesia is regulated by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation under the Ministry of Transportation. Our team manages the sign-ups, flight clearances and altitude restrictions involved, above all around Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta and Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali.

Here is the layout. The country is unmatched for aerial subjects: it sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire with around 130 active volcanoes, more than any other nation, and the archipelago of some 17,000 islands gives endless coastline, reef and terraced hillside. Signature aerial vantage points have the caldera of Mount Bromo, the ridges of Padar Island in Komodo National Park, and the rice terraces and sea temples of Bali.

Here is how the work shapes up. National parks such as Komodo and conservation zones including Raja Ampat enforce strict rules. Some sites limit or prohibit drone flight, so advance clearance is key. The dry season, roughly April or May to September or October, brings the clearest skies and steadiest winds for aerial production.

FAQ

Aerial Cinematography Expertise

What drone certifications do your pilots have?

All our pilots hold Indonesian aviation authority certifications needed for commercial drone operations. Many also hold certifications from other aviation authorities. We keep full records including flight logs, insurance, and operational manuals.

Can you fly drones in cities like Jakarta?

Urban drone flying in Indonesia needs special sign-off. Jakarta has major off-limits airspace, but we can obtain permits for specific locations with advance notice. We handle all regulatory submissions and set up with authorities.

What cameras can you mount on drones?

Here is the breakdown. We operate everything from integrated camera systems like DJI Inspire and Mavic lines to heavy-lift platforms carrying RED, ARRI Mini, and other cinema cameras. We match the platform to your image quality needs and shot complexity.

Do you provide FPV drone services?

Yes, we have skilled FPV pilots for dynamic shots including chase sequences, indoor flying, and high-speed proximity work. Our FPV team uses purpose-built drones with cinema-quality cameras for broadcast-ready footage.

What about night aerial filming?

We're signed off for night drone operations with proper lighting systems, boosted safety protocols, and appropriate certifications. Night flying needs extra planning and sign-off, so please talk about needs early.

How far in advance should we book?

Standard aerial shoots can often be arranged with 1-2 weeks notice. Complex operations needing special sign-off, off-limits airspace access, or multi-drone setups may need 3-4 weeks for proper planning and approval.

Productions in Indonesia that need this often pair it with Helicopter Filming, High Speed Filming, and Cable Cam Systems for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Camera & Cinematography and Drone Videography.
