Drone shoot price & rates
Starting day rates for every drone we fly, plus editing and post-production. These are starting prices: every quote is built around your project's scope, location and schedule, so the final price can vary.

What changes the price
The rates above are where a project starts. Your quote depends on its scope:
- Number of days: multi-day projects are priced lower per day.
- Drones and crew: combining FPV with an Inspire or a cinelifter on the same day.
- Location and travel: shoots inside Bangalore have no travel charges. Outstation shoots add the crew's travel and stay, agreed with you in advance.
- Hours: extended hours beyond a normal shoot day.
- Permissions: any costs of the permissions your location needs. We tell you upfront which ones apply.
- Turnaround: footage is delivered by the next day. Same-day stabilisation and delivery adds a 10% rush fee.
- Post-production: raw footage only, or a finished edit with grading, graphics and sound.
Booking
A 25% advance secures your date, and the balance is due on completion or delivery of the final footage. Payment is by bank transfer.
Comparing quotes
Whether you're comparing drone photography cost, a drone rental price or a full production quote, the cheapest rate isn't always the cheapest shoot. Check that each quote includes a certified pilot and registered drone, insurance, spare drones and batteries for the full day, and a clear list of what's delivered and when. Our guide on how to choose an aerial filming company in Bengaluru covers this in more detail.
Pricing questions
Are these fixed prices?
No. They're starting prices. Every project is quoted on its scope: the drones, crew, days, location and post-production you need. Send us your brief for an exact quote.

Is drone rental cheaper than a full drone shoot?
Drone rental with a pilot uses the day rates above. A full drone shoot adds shot planning and, if you want, editing from our post-production team.
