Drone

Drone filming requires a series of permits, which must be applied for by a locally registered production company. The process  takes up to 1 month depending on the nature of the project, the client and the desired locations. 
Our drone operators are passionate image-makers, have worked on many international productions, and keep upgrading their kit.

Helicopter

Helicopter filming in the Sultanate is a wonderfully rewarding experience, unfolding kilometres of spectacular coastline, mountain ranges and amber-tinted deserts that a drone won't reach. But capturing these jewels from above is a privilege you need to work hard for... It's your luck , we have what it takes. 
To help you decide whether or not to opt for aerial in your film or campaign, here are a few tips:

---

Step One: ​the client

The nature of your project matters to the Omani authorities.
​The permit granting process will take more or less time depending on who you are shooting for.
A 4-6 weeks timeframe is usually required to get all clearances, unless we can get you in the fast track.

Step Two: ​the gear

There is no private civil aviation in Oman, so filming aerials  can only be done with the Royal Oman Police helicopters.
This means shooting from the side only.
Our partnership with experts in aerial rigging, and with the engineers and pilots at ROP Aviation allows the best stabilised shots and a safe, comfortable time up there.

Step Three: the footage

Once the filming is over, you need a government clearance before taking your rushes out of the country or into the editing room. 
To be on the safe side, consider this step will add another 10 days in your production schedule.
