Aerial Filming, Photography, Video Editing

As drone technology has advanced, so too has drone filming and photography. High angle and action shots that were once too expensive or just impossible are now achievable within budget and on-point. 

eyeabove runs a variety of drone/camera setups from basic, one-man rigs, to heavier two-man configurations with the pilot and cameraman operating independently. With thousands of hours of flight time, we have experience in most environments – from the urban jungle of Calgary’s downtown and the sunbaked Badlands, to the snow-clad slopes of the Rocky Mountains, and anywhere in between. 

eyeabove is certified and licensed and can secure permits* for drone flight/filming for:

  • Cinematic

  • Sports

  • Event marketing

  • Advertising

  • Television/commercial production

In every case, eyeabove combines technical prowess and flight skills with a trained creative eye to get the perfect shot for your creative project, film, TV, business, or event marketing needs – including shots captured near crowds.

*may require extra fees and planning time.
