Arri Alexa Mini and RED capable drones
High-end drone equipment for film and video productions
At Kiwi we always try to innovate whenever possible. We’ve built most of our drones in-house as we think knowing our equipment is key when flying a professional grade camera setup with Alexa mini or RED camera’s. As innovation is our passion we where lucky enough to serve our clients with a great range of self-built drones and camera rigs.

Drone cameras and Lenses
Cinema cameras, prime lenses and the DJI setup
Because every production is different we offer a wide range of drones to fit all aerial requests. We have drones capable of flying a ARRI or RED camera as well as the Inspire 2 drone with the X5s or X7 camera’s. For the x5S and X7 camera’s we offer all available lenses in the package. Depending on the setup when flying a cinema camera we can lift around 3-4kg of lens weight. The total camera package has a maximum of 8kg. This is without the gimbal. For stabelizing the camera we use the Movi pro or Gremsy H16. The gimbal weight is between 2.5 and 3 kg.
