Drone aerial video in Aubervilliers

Drone aerial video gives your films a cinematic dimension: smooth tracking shots over a site, vertical reveal moves, orbits around a building, dynamic chase shots. Our aircraft shoot in 4K or even 5.1K in 10-bit (D-Log), with precisely controlled moves thanks to three-axis stabilisation and programmed flight modes. The footage cuts seamlessly into corporate, advertising or documentary productions.

A typical assignment includes scouting, a flight plan written around your storyboard, half a day or a full day of filming, then colour grading and delivery of the rushes or a broadcast-ready short edit. We regularly work alongside ground film crews and provide the insurance certificates and permits that productions require.

Common use cases

The local context in Aubervilliers

Aubervilliers falls under the full Paris-region regime: the conurbation's low-altitude no-fly zone with police prefecture authorisation, the Paris-Le Bourget CTR to the north and the immediate neighbourhood of the Saint-Denis canal and the ring road. Processing times mean every mission must be anticipated by several weeks.

The area is transforming intensely: the Condorcet humanities campus, the Olympic pool inherited from the 2024 Games, Line 15 and Line 12 extension works, conversion of the canal's warehouses and general stores — so much construction monitoring and communications imagery for local authorities and developers, plus the wholesale trade of the Quatre-Chemins district.

Applicable regulations

Aerial filming follows the same rules as photography: open category A1/A2/A3 for most flights in clear areas, height capped at 120 m, operator registered on AlphaTango and systematic checking of the Géoportail drone map. In built-up areas or near uninvolved people, shoots move to the specific category (European standard scenario STS-01, the French national scenarios S-1/S-3 having ended on 31 December 2025) with prior declaration to the préfecture for flights over populated areas. Productions also require dedicated aerial liability insurance and, for certain listed sites or military zones, specific agreements. Flying over gatherings of people remains prohibited without exceptional authorisation.

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver raw rushes or an edited film?

Both options are available: delivery of gradable 4K Log rushes for your editor, or a turnkey 60–90 second edit with royalty-free music. The quote specifies the chosen option.

Can you film indoors (factory, warehouse, venue)?

Yes: indoor flights are outside the scope of aviation regulations. We use light, protected drones (cages or ducted propellers) to fly safely inside buildings.

How long does it take to obtain filming permits?

In open areas, no lead time: the flight can happen within days. In built-up areas, allow at least 10 working days for the prefectural declaration, and up to 4 weeks for sensitive sites.

Can this service be flown anywhere in Aubervilliers?

Almost: Zone interdite basse altitude de l'agglomération parisienne; CTR de Paris-Le Bourget au nord. Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
