Drone Videography Services

Here is how this works in practice. Our drone teams operate Inspire 3 (Zenmuse X9-8K full-frame on Ronin 4D mount), Mavic 3 Pro Cine, Air 3, and Mini 4 Pro sites for stills-to-cinema deliverables, plus FPV Cinewhoop and Cinelifter rigs (Astro, GEPRC MOZ7, BetaFPV X-Knight) for through-the-arch chases over Belém Tower (UNESCO 1983 Manueline Gothic), Jerónimos Monastery (UNESCO 1983), and Pena Palace (Sintra UNESCO 1995). Heavy-lift sites route through Iberian cross-border (Sigma Cine Madrid, Filmotechnic Madrid) on five-to-six-hour van runs for ALEXA Mini LF and Sony Venice 2 payloads.

Here is what we have to work with. Regional pilot pools cover Lisbon (Drone Photo Portugal, Drone Lisboa, Sky Lights Lisbon), Porto and the Douro Valley (UNESCO 2001), Algarve coast (Praia da Marinha sea caves, Lagos, Sagres, Vilamoura), Madeira (Funchal Levada hiking trails, Pico Ruivo summit), and Azores (São Miguel calderas, Pico Island Vineyards UNESCO 2004). Frequency planning routes through ANACOM for C2 control links and video downlink in the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz bands.

Here is the short of it. Permit chains route through ANAC (Autoridade Nacional da Aviação Civil) for UAS open, specific, and certified-type sign-off under EU 2019/947 framework. NAV Portugal for controlled airspace planning around Humberto Delgado Lisbon, Francisco Sá Carneiro Porto, Faro, Funchal Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ponta Delgada João Paulo II airports. DGPC (Direção-Geral do Património Cultural) for off-limits overflight clearance at all seventeen Portuguese UNESCO sites including Sintra Cultural Landscape, Évora (UNESCO 1986), Tomar Convento de Cristo (UNESCO 1983), Batalha (UNESCO 1983), Alcobaça (UNESCO 1989), Guimarães (UNESCO 2001), Coimbra University (UNESCO 2013), Mafra Palace (UNESCO 2019), Bom Jesus do Monte Braga (UNESCO 2019), Angra do Heroísmo Azores (UNESCO 1983), and Pico Island Vineyards (UNESCO 2004). ICNF for ecological sensitivity over Berlengas Marine Reserve, Madeira Laurissilva Forest UNESCO Natural, and Azores nature reserves. IPMA for Atlantic weather windows and Beaufort surface-wind forecasting (Nazaré northern Atlantic systems peak November-February with Garrett-McNamara-record eighty-six-foot waves at Praia do Norte). ICA cash-rebates qualifying spend, twenty-three percent IVA invoicing, and ATA carnet routes through Autoridade Tributária.
