SCENE 01 / AERIAL DRONE SERVICES
Aerial Drone Services
Licensed drone operators delivering cinematic aerial footage across Romania.
Here is how this works in practice. Aerial drone services deliver cinematic overhead and sweeping perspectives across Romania's dramatic Carpathian landscapes—from the medieval towers of Brașov to the winding Transfăgărășan highway. Drones give cost-effective aerial coverage for setting up shots, mountain reveals, and any production needing elevated viewpoints over iconic Romanian scenery.
Here is the short of it. We set up fully licensed aerial drone services that comply with AACR rules and EU-wide EASA drone rules. Our team manages flight permits, Bucharest controlled airspace sign-off, and safety assessments to make sure your production captures stunning aerial footage safely and legally at each location.

Advanced Capabilities
On Location
Our licensed drone units fly cinematic aerials over the Carpathian peaks, the Transfăgărășan road, and Transylvania's castles, fully authorised under the Romanian AACR and EU EASA framework.
Here is how this works in practice. We give aerial drone services as a complete unit - a licensed remote pilot, a dedicated camera ops, and a spotter - sized and equipped for the shot. Our Bucharest-based teams fly heavy-lift sites carrying full cinema payloads for high-end plates as well as compact integrated-camera kits for FPV-style chases and rapid location reveals, so a director can select the right tool without re-crewing. Romania's three-decade production history means aerial work integrates cleanly into a larger production: the drone unit shares the DIT and edit pipeline with the ground crew.
Here is the short of it. Footage is colour-tied to the main camera. We pre-plan each flight against the shot list, file the operational authorisations the AACR needs, and carry the insurance and risk assessments shoots and insurers expect. For permitted tricky sequences - flights over crowds, near structures, at altitude, or in controlled airspace near airports - we manage the regulatory planning so aerial days stay on schedule.
Here is the breakdown. Aerial work in Romania sits under the Civil Aeronautical Authority, the AACR, operating inside the EU-wide EASA framework - a clear, predictable regime for visiting shoots, with RF and video downlinks covered by ANCOM. The country is top from the air: the Carpathians hold much of Europe's last old-growth forest and Europe's largest brown bear, wolf, and lynx populations, crossed by the dramatic Transfăgărășan. Transylvania's castles at Bran, Corvin, and Peleș and the medieval towns of Sibiu, Brașov, and Sighișoara reward overhead coverage. The UNESCO Danube Delta and the painted monasteries of Bukovina add range.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. National parks and the Danube Delta Reserve apply conservation rules, so wildlife-sensitive and low-altitude flights need advance clearance. This our team secures. As an EU member inside the Schengen Area, Romania lets drone kit move in from across the bloc with no ATA carnet, and eligible aerial-unit spend counts towards the CNC cash rebates of up to 45 percent.
FAQ
Aerial Cinematography Expertise
What drone certifications do your pilots have?
All our pilots hold Romanian aviation authority certifications needed for commercial drone operations. Many also hold certifications from other aviation authorities. We keep full records including flight logs, insurance, and operational manuals.
Can you fly drones in cities like Bucharest?
Urban drone flying in Romania needs special sign-off. Bucharest has major off-limits airspace, but we can obtain permits for specific locations with advance notice. We handle all regulatory submissions and set up with authorities.
What cameras can you mount on drones?
Here is the breakdown. We operate everything from integrated camera systems like DJI Inspire and Mavic lines to heavy-lift platforms carrying RED, ARRI Mini, and other cinema cameras. We match the platform to your image quality needs and shot complexity.
Do you provide FPV drone services?
Yes, we have skilled FPV pilots for dynamic shots including chase sequences, indoor flying, and high-speed proximity work. Our FPV team uses purpose-built drones with cinema-quality cameras for broadcast-ready footage.
What about night aerial filming?
We're signed off for night drone operations with proper lighting systems, boosted safety protocols, and appropriate certifications. Night flying needs extra planning and sign-off, so please talk about needs early.
How far in advance should we book?
Standard aerial shoots can often be arranged with 1-2 weeks notice. Complex operations needing special sign-off, off-limits airspace access, or multi-drone setups may need 3-4 weeks for proper planning and approval.
