Questions about drone shows

For optimal results, we recommend a total preparation time of approximately 2 months. This timeframe allows us to create and test your show thoroughly. While we can deliver spectacular shows on shorter notice, factors such as the show's location, drone transportation, airspace authorizations, and other permits may require additional lead time.

We perform both indoors and outdoors. We have delivered drone shows in auditoriums and concert halls, as well as in large sporting arenas and in the backdrop of iconic structures like the Eiffel Tower and the Roman Colosseum. For every project, we will thoroughly study the show location and build a layout to maximise security and show visibility. 

We are also capable of performing anywhere in the world. Our drones have performed in over 25 countries so far.

Our indoor and outdoor performances can range from a few minutes to several dozen, adapting perfectly to your event’s needs. Thanks to our patented Smart Fleet system, we can extend show durations seamlessly. This advanced system enables smooth drone transitions, replacing those with depleted batteries with fresh ones, ensuring uninterrupted performances.

Our Symphony tool manages this process effortlessly, providing virtually limitless flight time. Naturally, great storytelling is essential to keep the excitement alive throughout the show!

We proudly collaborate with the renowned French brand Parrot, whose drones serve as the foundation for our performances. We have acquired licenses for Parrot’s Mambo, Bebop 2, and Anafi 1 models, and our close partnership allows us to build on their cutting-edge platform to create specialized drone systems tailored for entertainment. Through extensive modifications to both hardware and software, we transform these drones into the perfect tools for mesmerizing light shows. All our drones are meticulously built in France, ensuring top-tier quality and performance.

Our fleet includes Helios, designed exclusively for indoor performances, Zephyr and Autan, which seamlessly operate both indoors and outdoors, and Mistral, crafted for outdoor spectacles only.

Our drones have been purpose-built for drone light shows. The only payload the drones carry is the LED to light up the sky. We do not include cameras and sensors on the drones to capture or store data.

The images, shapes, and figures created during an outdoor drone show are massive, with average dimensions of 200m by 100m. While we typically recommend a viewing distance of about 300m, this can vary depending on weather conditions. In some cases, our shows have been visible from distances of up to 3 kilometers away, as shown in the image below.

Our drones are capable of handling light rain and up to 30 km/h wind speed. Anything in excess of that will impact the show.

The show manager in charge of your event will discuss your options with you.

There are no fixed price brackets for drone light shows, as each show is tailor-made for a specific event. Various factors, such as the country hosting the show, whether it is indoors or outdoors, and the complexity of the choreography, are all considered during the design process. The number of drones and the duration of the show can also impact the price. For more details, you can refer to this article.

Additionally, we offer an option for permanent or recurring drone shows designed for theme parks. These shows are customized for the specific venue, and the pricing will be determined based on the specific requirements.

Based on the location of your event and the airspace regulations in your country, we will work closely with you to obtain the necessary permits and authorisations for drone flight at your event.

Although drone regulations can be very strict, our unique technology has been certified by civil aviation authorities in over 25 countries. We have also been approved by several major amusement parks for permanent drone show installations.

Yes, we can. We have even launched our drones from platforms over water bodies in the past. However, where possible, we prefer to fly over land while giving the illusion that the drones are flying over water.

The more drones you have, the more detail and higher resolution you can achieve, as the drones are in essence, pixels in the sky. Dronisos shows include a minimum of 400 drones.

However, increasing the number of drones will also increase the cost of the show. Finding the right balance between an increased number of drones to cater to artistic demands and keeping the show within budget is a tightrope walk. Our team of experts will guide you through this process.

The drones and the colours can be choreographed to offer unlimited creative possibilities in the sky.

Outdoors, we have flown up to 5.000 drones simultaneously in the past. If the project demands, we can fly even more.

Indoors, although we are limited by the size of the venue, we have flown up to 200 drones simultaneously in the past. We currently hold the world record for the largest swarm of drones flying simultaneously indoors.

Most certainly! Our drones have performed alongside dancers, musicians, magicians and other stage performers in the past... even airplanes! Our drones can also incorporate pyrotechnics and laser mapping into the show.

To provide you with the most accurate estimate, please share as many details as possible. The more information we receive, the more precise our proposal will be. Key details to include are the type of event, event location, the number of drones required, show duration, event date, whether it's a one-time or recurring show, and if you already have a storyboard or visuals. Additionally, let us know if there will be other live performances or specific logistical requirements.
