The Aerial Department
The Aerial Unit That Doesn't Create Overhead.
FilmLA permits, LAANC authorization, and COIs resolved in pre-production. Your 1st AD doesn't chase us. We show up ready.

Aerial Platforms
DJI Inspire 3 with Zenmuse X9
8K full-frame capture in CinemaDNG and ProRes RAW. Small footprint and crew. Flies tight areas and closer to talent, with an HD downlink for live broadcast.
Freefly Alta 8 with Movi Pro
Flies RED and ARRI Alexa Mini on the Movi Pro with full Heden lens control. Sky View shots look forward and up, unobstructed by the aircraft.
FPV Platforms
Immersive, high-energy flight at up to 80 mph. Quick setup, single pilot. Action sequences and tight spaces where conventional platforms cannot operate.
Process
How We Run It
Drone Tech Aerial operates as your aerial department. Before the shoot day, we handle FilmLA permitting internally. LAANC airspace authorization is pulled and confirmed. The COI goes directly to production and to the location manager. On shoot day, we arrive with a complete equipment manifest, pre-flighted rigs, and a safety meeting ready to deliver. Your UPM manages one department head. That is the whole relationship.
