A typical drone operation will require 1-3 crew members. A Part 107 licensed operator is required to maintain visual of the drone by direct line of sight or through the use of 1 or more Visual Observers.

A Visual Observer is a person designated by the Drone Pilot to aid in maintaining Visual Line of Sight of the Drone and/or help the pilot avoid air traffic and other obstacles. Visual Observers are often an important and necessary part of Drone Operations.

We are stationed in New York City, but operate throughout the state, mostly Long Island and along the Hudson Valley. We also work in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Contact us today to speak about your location and how we can work together!

Our Production team is fully capable capturing a range of Cinematography from the Sky and Ground! We get hired a lot for our amazing aerials, but we also take many project from storyboards to the editing room, including commercial promos, music videos, documentaries, and films!

Above all else, a safe indoor drone flight requires patience and careful planning . With the cooperation of the venue and location staff our team of Visual Observers work closely with the Drone Pilot to navigate a safe flight pattern. When flying indoors we also take extra precautions such as installing propellor guards and booking a test flight day in advance.

Absolutely! We advertise a lot of video, but we have plenty clients requesting drone photos, as well. We can discuss booking a day of just drone photography or adding it in to an already existing video package.

All of our drone pilots must carry a current Part 107 license registered with the FAA. This license must be renewed every two years for unmanned air vehicle (UAV) pilots operating within the United States.

Yes, AEROCINE Films is one of the few companies obtaining NYPD Drone permits within the five boroughs of NYC. To obtain this permit, a project application and fee of $150 must be submitted to the NYPD at least 2 weeks before date of the drone operations.

After you work with us to map out the flight plans for your project, we will take care of the rest!

Some FAA flight restrictions can be waived with an FAA waiver application. To learn more about those visit here: https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/part_107_waivers Or contact us today to discuss your project and the process.
