We Utilize an Extensive Suite of Drone Camera Equipment
Before starting a project, we take many factors into consideration when it comes to choosing the right equipment, so we can provide you with the right outcome for your project. We work with you to understand your project's vision, and to provide you with a package that will deliver results. PhotoFlight AM has you covered!
What We Look For in Professional Grade Drone Equipment
- Camera - Professional grade drone cameras that provide the desired look and quality for intended use and ability to seamlessly match with footage from other cameras.
- 1 to 3 Operators - Single drone operator can handle most photography and simple video projects. A two-operator drone team is used with larger camera kits and splits the functions of the drone and camera operators. It's used for projects that require tracking subjects, lower, closer and faster drone shots, longer lenses, and everywhere the operational environment requires. A third operator may be added when remote focus control is required.
- Agility - It is important that the top speed, agility and wind resilience of the drone kit matches to the operational environment, the nature of your project and the desired shots.
- Endurance - The flight time and ability of your drone team to keep the drone ready and in the air for as long and as often as required. We ensure we have enough batteries and/or means to re-charge, so no shots are lost or time is wasted.
- Size - The size of the drone is also an important consideration, and mainly depends on the nature of the project and the environment the drone is going to be operated in. Our drone teams operate both outdoors and indoors.
- Redundancy - Each project takes effort to plan and execute. It's important that every piece of equipment and participant on the project delivers on their part. That's why we bring multiple back-up drone camera kits so no shots are lost and time is wasted due to equipment problems.
Our Drone Equipment Kits

DJI M-600 Heavy Lift Cinema Drone Kit
Overview: This drone is a large, heavy-lift drone camera platform, able to carry larger cinematic camera and lens packages. It's great for projects where cinema quality and resolution are desired, with need to perfectly match the drone and other camera footage - feature films, tv shows, documentaries, commercials. Contact us to learn more.
The Camera
Number of Operators
Agility and Endurance
This drone's agility and endurance are payload dependent. Like most cinematic camera kits, it offers 10-15 minute flight times per single battery set, with 7-10 minute downtime between flights. This drone's top speed is up to 40mph, and wind resilience up to 20 mph gusts.
Size, Operating Environment, Case-to-air Time
This drone is a large size drone at 5.5ft in diameter. It is suitable for most outdoor and some indoor environments like large spaces, where obstacles and strong propeller wash are not an issue. The case-to-air setup time varies by the build, most setups can take 2-4 hours for the initial build (usually done prior to the shoot).

DJI Inspire 2 Drone with DJI X5S Camera
Overview: This drone is a medium-sized drone camera platform with excellent agility, endurance, and wind resilience. It's a great option for projects where professional quality and resolution are required - film, tv shows, documentaries, commercials. It excels in lower, closer, and faster dynamic tracking drone shots of moving objects, and professional still drone photography.
Camera
This drone has a micro 4/3 stabilized digital camera with a 3 axis gimbal. It has a full lens kit. The system allows for high bit-rate recording on a solid state drive up to 4K/30fps and ensures post-processing flexibility when matching drone footage to other cameras.
Number of Operators
This drone camera kit is usually used with two operators - the pilot and the camera operator. A third operator may be added when remote focus pulling is desired. It can also be used as a single drone operator setup for still drone photography and aerial videography.
Agility and Endurance
The Inspire's camera provides 17-20 minute flight times per single battery set, with quick 2-3 minute battery changes. It has a top speed of 60mph for high speed tracking drone shots, and excellent wind resilience.
Size, Operating Environment, Case-to-air Time
This drone is a medium size drone at 2.5ft in diameter. It's suitable for most outdoor and indoor environments in large and small spaces. The case-to-air setup time is about 10-15 minutes, 2-3 minute down time between subsequent flights.

The size and easy breakdown/build make the Phantom 4 Pro a great drone for shoots with multiple locations, events, or open water drone filming.

Custom Drone Solutions for Specialty Projects
Quick overview: Haven't found what you're looking for above? Photoflight offers custom drone solutions for specialty projects, including 360degree video drone platform, drone lights, banners, coordinated autonomous drone shows and art installations. Please, contact us to discuss your project and the possibilities our professional drone team can offer.
360degree Camera Drone Kit
360degree video is an amazing and growing segment, and Photoflight is proud to offer custom drone platforms to operate 360 cameras on a drone. There are several possible configurations: hanging the camera under the drone (drone on top), placing the camera on a mast on top of the drone (drone below) for indoor and low shots, or using two 360 cameras-one on top, one on bottom) and stitching them to eliminate the drone out of the view.
Drone Light
Drone Light is a useful tool for lighting objects and scenes during night photo and film shoots. We offer a few different drone light options, from simple fixed downward light to a controllable spotlight stabilized in a gimbal.
Drone Flags and Banners
Flags or Banners carried by a drone offer a unique way to advertise or send a message. Our heavy lift drones can handle large size banners and flags.
