For Mercedes-Benz footage for the world premiere of the all-electric compact SUV EQB, VR-Copter flew the aerial shots in Hanover – with Inspire 2 and Zenmuse X7 in 6K.
Project details
- Location: Hanover, Germany
- Project: Mercedes-Benz EQB – world premiere
- Client / production: Mercedes-Benz – high-end footage for the press reel; production: schwäble + wolf
- Services: Aerial filming in 6K
- Shoot date: 2021 (world premiere in April 2021)
Brief and execution
The EQB is an all-electric compact SUV with up to seven seats. For the premiere, the car was to be shown from perspectives you cannot get from the ground – car and surroundings in one move.
As with every world premiere, confidentiality applies: the footage stays under wraps until release, and locations and framing are agreed with the client.
Equipment and permits
DJI Inspire 2 with Zenmuse X7 in 6K – resolution with headroom for reframing and stabilisation in the edit.
Pilot and camera: Jochen Riehm. Flying in a city needs coordination: restricted airspace, distances to uninvolved people and, if needed, permits are clarified in advance.
FAQ
Can you film with a drone in Hanover?
In principle yes, but cities have many restrictions – such as the airport control zone, residential areas and crowds. Depending on the location a permit is needed; VR-Copter checks this in advance.
How is footage kept confidential before a world premiere?
Data goes to the client only, and locations and images are not published in advance. If required, we sign a non-disclosure agreement.
What does a drone shoot for a car premiere cost?
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.
