Drone aerial video in Mont-de-Marsan

Free quote — aerial video in Mont-de-Marsan

To tell the story of Mont-de-Marsan on video, altitude sets the pace: wide shots of the urban grid, an orbit around Arènes du Plumaçon, a breath towards the Nouvelle-Aquitaine horizons. A precise shot list before the flight saves wasted minutes in the edit. In Mont-de-Marsan as across the department (40), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

The local economy blends defence, administration, food production (poultry, maize, nearby Armagnac) and forestry — the Landes de Gascogne forest, western Europe's largest planted forest, surrounds the town and faces summer overflight restrictions during fire-risk periods. Drone missions: agriculture and forestry, construction monitoring, heritage, communication for the poultry and Armagnac sectors. Prefecture of the Landes at the confluence of the Douze and Midou rivers (forming the Midouze), Mont-de-Marsan is above all, for drone pilots, a city under military air authority: air base 118, one of France's largest, fields Rafales, test squadrons and the air-warfare expertise centre — its prohibited and restricted zones cover much of the sector, and any local mission is prepared with the drone map and, often, coordination with the base.

Airspace and formalities in Mont-de-Marsan

A shoot in Mont-de-Marsan needs lead time: the overflight ban (Zones interdites et réglementées de la base aérienne 118 (Rafale, expérimentation)) requires a specific authorisation per flight plan, filed well ahead of the shoot date — we build it into the production schedule.

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 →
