DRONE COMPANY AMSTERDAM
AERIAL CINEMATOGRAPHY FOR FEATURE FILMS, COMMERCIALS AND CORPORATE PRODUCTIONS
We fly ARRi, DJI and FPV drones for all sorts of productions.
Kiwi Aerial Shots is an Amsterdam-based aerial cinematography company with 14 years of experience on feature films, commercials and high-end corporate productions. We operate as a full drone department: integrated with your DOP, camera crew and 1st AD from pre-production through wrap.
We are EASA Specific Category certified, fully insured, and experienced in coordinating flight permits across the Netherlands and internationally. Whether you are a London-based production house shooting across Europe or a local agency looking for a reliable aerial partner in Amsterdam, we handle the logistics so your crew can focus on the shoot.
AMSTERDAM DRONE SHOTS FOR CORPORATE VIDEOS OR FULL FEATURE FILMS
FLYING IN AMSTERDAM | PERMITS, AIRSPACE AND ON-SET LOGISTICS
Amsterdam is one of the most complex drone environments in Europe. The city sits within the controlled airspace of Schiphol International Airport, is densely populated, and operates under strict EASA regulations. Only EASA Specific Category certified operators are authorised to fly here.
We handle the full permitting process: airspace coordination with air traffic control, municipality notifications, and local law enforcement briefings — submitted well in advance of your shoot day. On set, we work with a dedicated RT-operator and a 10-metre antenna mast for direct radio contact with Schiphol Tower. All certification documentation is available on request before you commit to the booking.
We have been operating in Amsterdam for 14 years. We know the locations, the permit timelines and the practical logistics of flying in this city — and we make sure none of that lands on your production coordinator’s desk.

CAMERA SYSTEMS AND DRONE FLEET
Our fleet scales with your production. Every system is owned and operated in-house, no rentals, no unknown crews.
- DJI Inspire 3 with X9-Air | ProRes RAW and CinemaDNG up to 8K, full-frame sensor, 18/24/35/50mm lenses
- DJI Mavic 4 Pro | Fast and discreet — ideal for recce, run-and-gun and smaller productions
- RED Komodo-X on cinelifter | S35 global shutter, 6K, 4K 120fps slow motion
- FPV cinewhoops | Dynamic fly-throughs, tight spaces, under bridges, indoor-to-outdoor transitions
- Heavy-lift Condor | ARRI Alexa Mini and larger cinema payloads, full prime lens coverage
We align our camera choice with your DIT workflow and video village setup. Raw files, colour space, frame rates, and lens packages are confirmed during the technical recce, not on the morning of the shoot.
