Skyset Cinema crew filming a Porsche Cayman GT4 with the DJI Inspire 3

Drone filming for
sports cars.

Aerial shoots with Inspire 3 and FPV for Porsche, supercars and premium automotive work. Clean tracking shots, real-speed chases and hero shots that go straight into post.

How we shoot cars

Timing with the driver is
half the job.

Filming a Porsche or a supercar from the air is not a question of equipment, but of coordination. The drone pilot has to be where the car will be in three seconds, not where it is now. That takes a cockpit briefing, physical marks on the road and radios between pilot, operator and driver.

tune

Pre-shoot briefing with the driver

Before we start shooting, we sit the driver down with the operator's monitor. We go over three marks on the road: entry point, apex and exit. If those are clear, the pass works by the second take.

speed

Cinematic speeds

For a shot to work, you don't need the car doing 180 km/h. Between 60 and 100 km/h real speed gives plenty of perceived movement. For slow motion we shoot at 50 or 100 fps with the car going slower.

videocam

Inspire 3 + FPV when needed

The Inspire 3 covers clean tracking shots, high angles and top-down shots: the bulk of the commercial. For the hero pass — entering a bend or a full-speed chase — we bring out the FPV. 8K ProRes RAW footage straight into post.

This is what we bring to a standard car shoot. If your production needs something more specific, we adapt it before the recce.

FAQ

What we're
always asked.

Do you need to close the road to film a car with a drone? add

Yes. For any shoot with a moving car under the drone you need the road closed or under traffic control. This is arranged with the local authority (Guardia Civil or local police) during the recce. We coordinate it as part of the service.

How many days does a car commercial with a drone need? add

It depends on the number of shots and locations. A 30-second commercial at one location is usually done in 1–2 days. If there are several locations or complex FPV shots, add another day. We give you the real estimate after reading the shot list.

Do you work outside Spain? add

Yes. We travel with the Inspire 3 and batteries in the cabin, and documented spares in the hold. We arrange permits with the destination country's aviation authority, and for destinations where we haven't flown before we coordinate with local fixers.

What format do you deliver? add

By default, 8K ProRes RAW with a D-Log profile for the Inspire 3 and 6K RAW (R3D) for the FPV unit with the RED Komodo. If your post-production house needs a different container or colour space, we set it up in-camera before the shoot. Footage ready to go straight into DaVinci or Baselight.

How much does it cost to film a car with a drone for a commercial?add

It is quoted by aerial-unit day (Inspire 3, FPV or both) plus the road closure and the location permits. A 30-second commercial at one location is usually done in one or two days; the exact figure follows after reading the shot list.

Can you set up car tracking shots on the road?add

We study the route, take-off points and flight paths with the director. We coordinate the filming and whatever authorisations each location needs before the shoot.
