Drone pilot in Antibes.
Aerial photography and video on both coasts and inland. France requires a declared flight in most scenarios. That declaration is part of the job.
Send an enquiry →Underneath the Nice control zone
Antibes lies a few kilometres from Nice airport, and the whole coastal strip falls inside its control zone. A flight here is never spontaneous: the zone, the altitude and the time window are filed, and the work happens inside them. It is restrictive, and it is what makes it possible to fly over a harbour holding hundred metre yachts at all.
Cap d'Antibes provides the alternative. Moving seaward and out towards the Lérins islands the constraints loosen and the background becomes the whole coastline rather than one basin. For a yacht alongside on the Quai des Milliardaires, the right hour is early, before the port starts moving.
