DroneFAQ about the costs & prices : Why a drone shooting is quite expensive ?

Most serious UAV french pilots, established over the last few years, seek to maintain balanced accounts in their annual accountancy. 

This approach is reasonable and responsible but for this, they have to set a daily rate around 1300 € excl. taxes, this for a shooting by drone, manned by an experienced and talented team, composed of one pilot and one cameraman. This price includes a high-end camera with a set of prime lenses (Wide-angle to short-angle like a 45mm on the X5s), plenty of batteries to last a full day without charging, plus two or three control TV monitors. 

Not to mention that owning several drones and several cameras means a lot of money invested, often by very small l businesses and often thanks to a bank loan. As everyone know this kind of high-Tek material has a rapid obsolescence.

It means that between ten to fourty-thousands euros are invested every 2 to 3 years in most cases. 

These short-term credits means high monthly payments. Barely reimbursed, one must go for another loan in order to buy new drones, new batteries, new remote-controllers, always more efficient, and always very appreciated by customers.

Other factors directly affecting the rates of the french drone companies that you might want to hire through our UAV Network : flying a drone is not something you can do all year round, everywhere. It really depends on the location and the forecast, so it is highly depending on good weather and beautiful nature with nice colors. In a word the season you can fly is very short, or lasts 6 to 8 months at the best.

The answer belongs to you and you know from experience, that anything has a price !

Whether it is for photographs or videos, the shots by drone very often give an impeccable result. They have appeared quite recently and have been unanimously approved by the audience for their exceptional rendering. They can be used to film inaccessible places, take aerial views or even follow moving subjects - all of which were much more difficult or impossible before.

However, it is important to find a trained professional telepilot who will guarantee you a quality work. This way, you will avoid any unpleasant surprises and will be able to enjoy the best possible results.

Breathtaking shots 

Professional drones are often equipped with high definition 4K or even 6K or 8K cameras, and are able to give images as close to reality as possible. These footage will also be very pleasant to watch on the recent high definition screens which are also more and more widespread. It is therefore essential to choose a partner who will be properly equipped with the right equipment for professional shooting. This way, there is no doubt about the final result and the price will be fair.

Different possibilities for different situations 

Often it is difficult to choose the most suitable option for the job because there are so many possibilities to make beautiful pictures. The option of aerial filming can be practiced almost everywhere and offers an almost infinite range of possibilities.

Indeed, the service by drone can be adapted to a multitude of circumstances, for example:

• Making a documentary,
• Filming a building and its construction,
• Create an image bank,
• Tape an official event (wedding, baptism).

For all these requests, the drone will give extraordinary photographs, quite different and complementary to the shots taken on the ground, and that is its interest.

Specialized pilots

A drone remains a difficult tool to master, and it is also a regulated activity, especially in case of overflight near houses and in urban areas. It is therefore necessary to follow different training courses and to do many hours of flight before being able to claim to fly it correctly and to realize quality aerial views. That's why you should never give up on hiring a qualified UAV pilot - the result will only be better with dynamic views that will be out of the ordinary!
