FAQ
Can you film with a drone in Frankfurt?
Only with restrictions: large parts of the city lie in the airport control zone, plus residential areas and crowds. Shoots usually need clearance; VR-Copter clarifies this in advance.
Are cities suitable for automotive drone shoots?
Yes, with good planning. Skyline and architecture give the car context; early mornings or weekends make many things easier.

A shoot day with a drone crew starts at €1,300 net, with Inspire 3 and cinema setup from €2,900 net, and as a combined drone, FPV and car-to-car package from €3,900 net – each including pilot, equipment, insurance and permit coordination.
