FAQ
Production-ready answers
The questions producers, agencies and DOPs ask us most often before a shoot in Italy.
Can you fly in restricted areas like central Rome or Florence?
Yes. We hold ENAC authorisation for critical scenarios and routinely operate in restricted urban airspace. Permits typically require 15 to 30 working days of lead time depending on the area.
How early should we book?
For unrestricted locations, two to three weeks is comfortable. For restricted airspace and protected sites, plan four to six weeks ahead so permits, NOTAMs and on-site coordination are confirmed before the shoot date.
What happens if the weather is wrong on the shoot day?
We monitor wind, visibility and precipitation in the 72 hours leading up to the shoot. If conditions are unsafe or compromise image quality, we reschedule to a backup window agreed at booking — at no additional fee.
Which delivery formats do you provide?
Video: ProRes 422 HQ or H.265 in 4K, 6K or 8K, Rec.709 or Log. Photo: RAW (DNG) plus graded TIFF or JPEG. Custom delivery specs are available for broadcast and OTT pipelines.
How is pricing structured?
Half-day, full-day or multi-day rates that include pilot, camera operator, equipment and insurance. Permits, travel and post-production are quoted per project.
Do you carry insurance?
Yes. Full third-party liability cover that meets the requirements of major Italian and international productions. Certificates are provided on request.
