The more time we have the better. We typically recommend between 1 to 3 months as it gives us adequate time to create and test the show. We have however delivered spectacular shows with just a few weeks notice. Depending on the location of the show, the transportation of the drones, airspace authorisations and other permits could add to the lead time required.

We perform both indoors and outdoors. We have delivered drone shows in auditoriums and concert halls, as well as in large sporting arenas and in the backdrop of iconic structures like the Eiffel Tower and the Roman Colosseum.

We are also capable of performing anywhere in the world. Our drones have performed in over 25 countries so far.

Our indoor shows average about 5 minutes and our outdoor shows between 10 to 12 minutes (visible time).

If you would like a longer duration show, we can create the illusion that the drones are flying longer by launching several sets of additional drones.

Our favourite drones are from Parrot. We have a close partnership with Parrot that allows us to build upon their drone platform to specifically develop performance drone systems for entertainment. We heavily modify the hardware and software of these drones in order to make them perfect for drone light shows.

Helios is an indoor-only drone, Zephyr and Autan can be used both indoors and outdoors, while Mistral is an outdoor-only drone.

Our drones have been purpose-built for drone light shows. The only payload the drones carry is the LED to light up the sky. We do not include cameras and sensors on the drones to capture or store data.

The images, shapes and figures created during an outdoor drone show are huge. The average dimensions of these animations are 200m by 100 m. We typically recommend a viewing distance of about 300 m, however, this can change depending on the weather conditions. In some instances, our shows have been spotted from distances of more than a kilometre away as seen in the image below.

An example of a picture that was taken from the window of an apartment in Paris during one of our shows.

Our drones are capable of handling light rain and up to 30 km/h windspeeds. Anything in excess of that will impact the show. The show manager in charge of your event will discuss your options with you.

Based on the location of your event and the airspace regulations in your country, we will work closely with you to obtain the necessary permits and authorisations for drone flight at your event.

Although drone regulations can be very strict, our unique technology has been certified by civil aviation authorities in over 25 countries. We have also been approved by several major amusement parks for permanent drone show installations.

Yes, we can. We have even launched our drones from platforms over water bodies in the past. However, where possible, we prefer to fly over land while giving the illusion that the drones are flying over water.

The more drones you have, the more detail and higher resolution you can achieve, as the drones are in essence, pixels in the sky.

However, increasing the number of drones will also increase the cost of the show. Finding the right balance between an increased number of drones to cater to artistic demands and keeping the show within budget is a tightrope walk. ha a team of experts on hand to guide you through this process.

The drones and the colours can be choreographed to offer unlimited creative possibilities in the sky.

Outdoors, we have flown up to 1000 drones simultaneously in the past. If the project demands, we can fly even more.

Indoors, although we are limited by the size of the venue, we have flown up to 200 drones simultaneously in the past. We currently hold the world record for the largest swarm of drones flying simultaneously indoors.

Most certainly! Our drones have performed alongside dancers, musicians, magicians and other stage performers in the past. Our drones can also incorporate pyrotechnics and laser mapping into the show.

Try to provide as many details as possible. The more information we have, the better and more accurate our estimate will be.

Please include the type of event, the location of the event, the number of drones required, the duration of the show, the date of the event, is it a one-time or a recurring show, do you already have a storyboard or visuals to share, will there be other live acts, etc.
