Is drone photography allowed at all?
Yes, but only under clear conditions. The EU drone regulation applies in Germany: you need a drone licence, a registered drone, liability insurance and, depending on the location, additional permits. We meet every requirement – you receive material you can use with legal certainty.
What does a drone shoot cost?
As a rough guide: a photo series for a property usually starts at around €150–300, while half a shoot day with 4K video and editing often costs between €800 and €1,500. The exact price depends on the location, the effort involved and the post-production. After a short initial call you receive a binding quote – around Rastatt with no long journey.
Do you need a permit for the flight?
It depends on the location: outside geographical zones, a licence, registration and insurance are enough. In town centres, near airfields, over industrial sites or at events, additional approvals are required. We check this before every job and obtain all the necessary permits – that is part of the service.
May you fly over residential areas and other people's land?
As a rule, someone else's residential property may only be overflown with the owner's consent – that is what the German Air Traffic Regulations (LuftVO) requires. For your own property this is straightforward; for adjoining plots we speak to the neighbours where necessary, or plan the route so that they are not overflown at all.
In what format do I get the footage?
We deliver photos in high resolution as JPG, plus RAW on request for professional image editing. Video comes in 4K, fully edited and colour-graded – as MP4 for web and social media, or in whatever format your agency or printer needs.
What happens if the weather is bad on the shoot day?
Then we do not fly – rain, strong wind or poor visibility affect safety as well as image quality. The appointment is rescheduled free of charge. Because we are based in Rastatt, a replacement date is usually found quickly; for events we plan a weather window from the start.
How far in advance should I enquire?
For standard shoots without special permits, a few days to a week of lead time is often enough. If official approvals are needed – in controlled airspace or at events, for example – allow two to four weeks. For fixed dates such as events: the earlier, the better.
How quickly do I get the finished material?
You usually receive photos within a few working days. Video with editing, colour grading and sound takes around one to two weeks, depending on the scope. If it is urgent – for a property brochure, for example – just ask: express delivery of individual photos is often possible the next day.
What about data protection and personal rights?
We take this seriously: people, number plates and visible neighbouring properties only appear in the material with consent – otherwise they are blurred out in post-production. That way you can publish the footage with confidence, without risking warning letters or GDPR trouble.
Will the footage fit the rest of my marketing?
Very well indeed. Because we also handle websites, social media and online marketing, the footage slots straight in – as a hero video on the home page, in a company film or in campaigns. All from one source, in the same look, with no coordination between three suppliers.
