NLFor high-end film and TV productions, we provide professional aerial filming using the DJI Inspire 3, equipped with the Zenmuse X9 8K full-frame camera. This platform is the current standard on international film sets, offering unmatched image quality, dynamic range, and stability.
DJI Inspire 3 & Zenmuse X9 8K
The Inspire 3 is built for demanding cinema workflows. With internal recording in CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes RAW, the footage integrates seamlessly with cameras like ARRI or RED. The full-frame sensor with dual native ISO (800/4000) guarantees noise-free shots from bright daylight to night scenes.
Dual-Operator Workflow
We fly in a standard dual-operator configuration:
- The pilot: Focuses entirely on flight, set safety, and the flight path.
- The camera operator: Controls the 3-axis gimbal (pan, tilt, focus, and zoom) via an independent controller.
This division of labor allows us to capture complex and dynamic camera movements. Directors can monitor the live feed in 4K on set without latency.
EASA Specific License & Safety
As the DJI Inspire 3 weighs over 4 kg and operates close to people or buildings, we fly under the EASA Specific category (registration number: NLDoyhg6yl91zgtj). This certifies us for:
- Flying within 25 meters of crew and actors on secured sets
- Operations within CTR airspaces (including Schiphol and military zones)
- Night flights and EVLOS operations
We handle all flight preparation, permits, and coordination with air traffic control.
