There are shoots - and then there are these shoots. Together with filmmaker Daniel Künzli and musician Nickless, our team took on a project that you won't soon forget: a drummer, live on a hot air balloon, accompanied by a drone - high above the Mittelland, where the horizon is bathed in golden morning mist.

With Haute Aviation, we were able to experience a day that was both breathtaking and challenging - at lofty heights and in the freezing cold. ☀️🏔️❄️ Our goal? A brand film that captures the passion and fascination for aviation in every second. And what better way to convey this enthusiasm than with spectacular flight maneuvers set against the majestic backdrop of the Alps?

This week, we inspected various buildings for damage using our drone technology and captured high-resolution images. These images are now being analyzed by experts to precisely document potential damage and plan targeted repairs.

We were recently out and about with our Heavylift drones in the Val de Joux in Switzerland to realize impressive drone shots for a renowned watch manufacturer. With our specialized Heavylifters, we realized high-precision aerial shots, which are then combined with already realized studio shots to create a visually captivating overall concept.

At the weekend we were on the road in Bern to produce exciting film footage with our CINECAR for an international production company.

What a crazy festival season! 🚀

With our special drones, we flew right into the heart of the action. Whether over the Piazza Grande in Locarno, high above Bern's local mountain, through the narrow streets of Schaffhausen or in the middle of Europe's biggest techno parade - we captured perspectives that are truly breathtaking.

In addition to our SORA certification for flights over populated areas and uninvolved persons, we were the first company in Europe to obtain a second SORA operating license for drone flights over crowds of people.

Early in the morning, we launched our drones over the picturesque city of Zurich to create a new and fascinating world of images.

We created the new visual representation of the Kybunpark stadium for the St. Gallen football club. We created high-resolution aerial images and 8K film footage from the air. The visual material is used for communication, media, website and social media.

Our drones not only provide breathtaking aerial images, they also facilitate and modernize work steps and processes in the construction industry. For example, we were able to fly over and document a three-hectare industrial roof for a roof builder. The aim: to create documentation of the finished state for the upcoming warranty acceptance.

Here it is, our new showreel! Power, dynamics and spectacular maneuvers combined in a cinematic firework display.

After a 14-month development phase of a "Specific Operations Risk Assessment" (SORA) in cooperation with the Federal Office of Civil Aviation, we received the final operating permit for the use of our film drones on March 1, 2024.

180 meters below Walter Battaglia, the RhB's all-rounder, tunnels wind their way down, draining water under enormous pressure. 53 meters above the ground, industrial climber Otti Flepp dares to tackle steep rock faces and works on the Rhaetian Railway's Castiel bridge.

For some time now, we have been working with the new RTK system from DJI, which opens up completely new horizons for us. We can now actually fly the following missions, which are very often in demand, automatically or with high precision down to the centimeter:

1917 - the First World War devastates Europe. In contrast, Switzerland appears to be an oasis of peace. But in reality, behind the scenes of neutral Switzerland, the agents of the world powers are busy clashing in Davos. Here, a young woman searches for self-determination and does everything she can to get back her daughter, who was taken from her at birth.

For the latest crime scene, we implemented numerous drone works. This time it went far beyond the usual aerial photos. Our team was responsible for setting up and providing all the props around the drones as well as for the precise control of all the flying machines.

The festival season of 2023 was undoubtedly breathtaking, exciting and full of unforgettable moments. Our mission? To provide viewers with a whole new visual experience by capturing innovative drone footage from the hottest festivals in Switzerland. But this year brought a special challenge - the ban on drone footage since January 1, 2023, so how could we keep capturing spectacular images? The answer is: The SORA process

Since the beginning of 2023, the use of professional film drones in the vicinity of buildings or uninvolved persons is prohibited. 🙅‍♂️ 🚁In order to be able to continue producing such recordings, we have been working on an operating permit according to SORA for the last 7 months and submitted it to the FOCA. ✅This process allows us to continue our work as usual.

We are pleased to have achieved this status. 🙌 🙌

As one of the first drone companies in Switzerland, we can use The new Inspire 3 drone from DJI after a very long wait. The DJI Inspire 3 offers unprecedented workflow efficiency, camera control and creative freedom.

For this extraordinary project we flew in icy cold and extreme wind conditions at an altitude of about 2700 m.a.s.l. with our Heavylifter light drone and turned night into day
