Helicopter & Drone Filming Company in Dubai

CHOPPERSHOOT is a leading drone filming company headquartered in Dubai.

Established in 2005 as an aerial filming company, we initially used manned and RC helicopters. However, as drones gained popularity in 2013, we recognized a shift in the aerial filmmaking industry. Seizing this opportunity, we invested in training and expanded our team to specialize in drone filming and photography.

Our crew, comprising drone and gimbal operators, are seasoned filmmakers. This background gives them a deep understanding of composition, framing, and timing, enabling them to capture the precise shots directors seek. In many cases, due to our expertise, we're entrusted to operate independently as a secondary unit, directing our own shots when the main director is occupied with the primary unit.

Our head office is located in Al Qouz 3, Dubai - along with the drone engineering unit. We are able to provide any possible drone solution like FPV drone, lighting drone, top-mounted camera drone, and live broadcast drone with a range of up to 10 km.

Get in touch with us for your aerial filming requirement, we look forward to working with you on your project.
