The Power of Heavy Lift Drones

Heavy lift drones bridge the gap between traditional aerial platforms and full-sized camera rigs. They allow productions to capture cinema-quality aerial shots using the same cameras and lenses found on ground units—maintaining a consistent look across the entire project.

Our Freefly Alta X system provides the strength and stability needed for complex shots while offering the flexibility required for modern filmmaking. Whether tracking vehicles, executing low-altitude reveals, or performing dynamic overhead passes, our aerial platforms deliver stunning, motion-controlled precision.

Where Heavy Lift Drones Excel

  • Action and chase sequences requiring speed and precision.

  • Large-scale establishing shots and scenic aerials.

  • Dynamic transitions between aerial and ground-based movement.

  • High-end commercial shoots demanding cinematic depth and dynamic range.

  • VFX and plate work that requires stable, repeatable camera paths.
