Our drones can withstand certain thresholds of wind and rain. For winds above 29km/hr or moderate to heavy rain, the show may be pushed within a timeframe of 2hrs or postponed to a later date. A rain out date is typically set in advance.
The setup area on the ground is relatively small, approximately 16m x 16m per 100 drones. When the drones are in the air during the show, the safety zone will depend on the height and width of the show. Typically we need at least a 100m radius from the centre of the show. We can consult you on specific distances for your venue during our initial call.
Our process begins with a free consultation where we’ll gather more details about your event and assess the site plan. Once we secure the date, we work with you to initiate design concepts which we would then use to assemble the show. Once the show is designed, we send you the rendered preview to ensure you’re fully satisfied. On the day, we typically arrive at least 3hrs in advance to run all of our pre-flight safety checks. The show will begin exactly at the planned start time.
Pricing will vary depending on the length of the show, complexity of design and number of drones used. Our shows start around $4k. For larger shows of 200-300 drones our packages start at around $25k.
How many drones you need depends on the atmosphere you want to create and budget allowance. Intimate gatherings can look stunning with 50 drones, whereas major events or highly detailed animations/logos might call for 500+ drones to fill the sky.
Yes, we handle all of the permits and approvals necessary to fly a show. We are fully certified with Transport Canada and have a company waiver that we fly under. We also carry $6.25M UAV liability insurance for every show.
