Drone aerial video in Épinal

Free quote — aerial video in Épinal

A film shot in Épinal has a ready-made opening: arriving along the Moselle, revealing the bridges, then Basilique Saint-Maurice as the tracking shot unfolds. Our pilots write these shots with you at the scout, then fly them in the chosen light window. With 30,777 inhabitants, Épinal generates steady demand in Grand Est: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.

The local economy revolves around timber (the national wood-technology school, the fibre sector), papermaking, hydroelectricity and administration. Typical drone missions: forestry (inventories, logging, tree-health monitoring), the paper industry, heritage, real estate and imagery of the Moselle greenway. Prefecture of the Vosges on the Moselle, Épinal is world-famous for the popular prints born here in 1796 — the Imagerie d'Épinal still prints today.

Flying in Épinal: the local framework

The shooting plan in Épinal is set around controlled airspace (Zones militaires basse altitude (base aérienne de Luxeuil au sud-est)): some camera moves are replanned at lower height or on another axis after coordination with air traffic control.

A drone shoot follows open-category rules in clear areas and moves to the specific category (STS-01, prior declaration) as soon as it flies over a populated zone; productions receive insurance certificates and permits. Full regulations and rates: aerial video across France →
