Brief and execution

A logistics centre is above all one thing: big. From the ground its scale is hard to show – from the air, halls, traffic routes and the location on the Rhine become clear at a glance.

On plant grounds, truck traffic and operations continue. Flight paths and take-off points are agreed with the site so the shoot doesn’t disrupt operations.

Equipment and permits

DJI Inspire 1 with Zenmuse X3, 4K.

Pilot and camera: Jochen Riehm.

FAQ

Are aerials worth it for site and corporate films?

Yes. Especially for large plants, logistics centres or campuses, only the aerial view shows scale and context.

Can you fly over industrial and plant sites?

Only with the operator’s consent and in line with geographical restrictions; VR-Copter clarifies this in advance.

What does a drone shoot for a site film cost?

A shoot day with a drone crew starts at €1,300 net, with Inspire 3 and cinema setup from €2,400 net, and as a combined drone, FPV and car-to-car package from €3,900 net – each including pilot, equipment, insurance and permit coordination.
