For the bigger drone productions, we fly our heavy-lift drones like the Kiwi Condor drone which is the same as a Freefly Alta X, or our Matrice600 drone. This way we can lift payloads up to 12KG.

For some of the drone productions, it’s faster and easier to fly our certified DJI Inspire 2 drone with Zenmuse X7 or X5s camera. Next to these drones, we make custom parts and rigs in our fully equipped workshop in Amsterdam. This means we can provide special aerial shot requests.

SPECIFIC CERTIFIED DRONES AND PILOTS

Regarding the Dutch drone regulations, we have all the knowledge you need to have. Together with our certified drones and certified drone pilots we can get exemptions on Dutch locations that others can’t get. We can fly in the harbor of Rotterdam or in the airspace of Amsterdam. We have the info to contact air traffic control in all the different airspaces in the Netherlands and are even allowed to fly our drones at night. Get in touch when you have a question about certain parts of the country and we can inform you about the possibilities.

Drone flights at night

As a fully certified drone company Kiwi Aerial Shots has a unique certification for performing drone flights at night! Call us if you want to know more about this.

Performing drone flights at night

Airspace exemption

For some parts of the Dutch airspace, a special permit is needed. This is the case in controlled airspaces like next to the Dutch national airport Schiphol. At Kiwi we can always get the approval so let us know wher you want to fly!

Amsterdam and Rotterdam

Big Dutch cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Maastricht are all within controlled civil airspace because of a nearby airport. We can get permission to fly in these restricted airspaces with a so-called RT operator.

NOTAM

For the so-called CTR (controlled traffic regions) within the Dutch airspace, we have to send out a NOTAM before we can start our drone flight. This 'Notice To Airmen' is part of our pre-production and we can always inform you about.

Our drone workflow methods

Camera, location, subject and production

When we have contact about your video production we want to discuss the exact wishes of the DoP/ director. Sometimes the goal and shots are completely clear, other times a conversation is needed to explain what is possible whit the required drone and camera setup in which we are more than happy to help. The main subject to get clarity about is for example the type of camera that is needed. This determines the drone we need for the shoot. Next to that, it’s important to know what the subject of the video will be and what the role of the drone shots is in the overall video production. Next to these, location is a very important factor. This to get a clear insight into the safety on the ground and exact airspace we have to carry out the drone flights.

For bigger productions it’s possible we go on a recce with the DoP and or director. We can discuss the whole production and check safety measures that must be taken into account. If everything is all good we contact IL&T if we need to get special exemptions and later one we will contact LVNL to state our drone flight. If you want more information about the Dutch Drone regulations or the controlled airspace within the Netherlands, check our Kiwi blog page. Of course, you can also just contact us, tell us about your video production and we will make sure everything is handled in the right way.
