FAA licensed drone cinematography and aerial camera crews based in Hollywood, serving productions across Los Angeles and Southern California since 2013.
CineDrones is headquartered in Hollywood — this is where we started in 2013, and it’s still home base for our largest team of FAA Part 107 licensed pilots and Local 600 aerial camera operators. We fly for film, television, commercials, music videos and live events across Los Angeles, from Downtown LA to Santa Monica and Malibu.
Every Los Angeles shoot includes full permit coordination with FilmLA and the FAA, so your production team doesn’t have to chase paperwork. Our crews are ready on short notice for stunt drones, FPV, aerial lighting, VR/360 and on-camera prop drones — whatever the shot calls for. Local 600 union and non-union crews are both available.
Comparing aerial units for an LA shoot? Our guide to choosing a drone company in Los Angeles sets out the seven checks that actually separate a working aerial department from a pilot with a drone — insurance floor, waiver history, Local 600 staffing, permitting, redundancy, payload range and a verifiable credit list — plus the exact questions to send every company on your shortlist.
