Frequently Asked Questions About Our Drone Shows

The cost of a drone show can vary significantly depending on a variety of factors, including the number of drones used, the complexity of the performance, the duration of the show, the location, and the specific requirements of the event. Here are some key factors that can influence the cost of a drone show:

Number of Drones: The more drones used in the show, the higher the cost. Small shows with a few drones will be less expensive than large shows with hundreds or even thousands of drones.

Duration: Longer drone shows will generally cost more than shorter ones because they require more battery power and coordination.

Location: The cost of a drone show may vary depending on the location of the event. Shows in remote or challenging locations may require more logistical planning and incur additional expenses.

Licensing and Permits: Some locations may require permits or licences to operate drones, and the cost of obtaining these permits can add to the overall cost.

Animation: If you have specific themes, logos, or branding elements that need to be integrated into the drone show, this can increase the time and cost required for animation.

Technical Support: The cost of technical support, including drone operators, ground crew, and safety personnel, is a significant part of the overall cost.


Insurance: Liability insurance is necessary to cover any accidents or damages that may occur during the show.

Rehearsals and Testing: Testing and rehearsal flights are essential to ensure the safety and success of the show, and they can contribute to the cost.

Additional Effects: Some drone shows may incorporate other special effects, such as fireworks, lasers, or music synchronisation, which can increase the cost.

Yes, drones and pyrotechnics can be displayed simultaneously (although we like to see our drone lights as being the more environmentally friendly successors to traditional firework displays).

Yes, technical advancements mean that increasingly bad weather is less of a reason not to fly. For safety reasons however, it is not recommended to fly drones in very adverse weather conditions such as high winds or heavy rain.

Yes, our animation process allows for a very true-to-life simulation of the drone show for clients to view on screen and we would always conduct flight tests prior to the show.

The duration of a drone light show can vary depending on the number of drones used and the complexity of the performance, but  shows typically last between 5-20 minutes.
