Aerial photography and video by drone End to end, anywhere in Thailand
ORBITCINE is a fully licensed drone team that covers everything in one place: production-grade aerial stills and video, pilot training for drones and RC aircraft, drone repair, and sales of drones and accessories. We work nationwide and send you a free quote the same day.
What kinds of aerial work does ORBITCINE take on?
We shoot nine types of aerial stills and video. Each one needs a different flight plan and a different way of telling the story, so pick the type that matches your project to see the details and sample work.

Besides shooting for you, we teach you to fly, sell you the right aircraft for the job, and repair it when something goes wrong — all from one team, so you are not chasing three different shops.
Drone pilot course
We teach flying from the very first lift-off through to professional work, and we walk you through registration and the licence exam so you are flying legally.
View coursesRC aircraft course
A course on small radio-controlled aircraft covering the fundamentals of control and safety — good for complete beginners and for anyone moving on to drones.
View coursesDrone repair
Diagnosis and repair for every kind of fault: crash damage, motors, cameras and electronics. We always quote before we repair.

View productsWhy hire a licensed team?
If a drone accident happens, liability does not always stop with the pilot — it can reach the property owner or the client who hired them. Choosing a properly registered team is not only about the quality of the footage; it closes a legal risk for you.
-
Trained on the Royal Thai Air Force unmanned aircraft pilot course Very few operators in Thailand have completed this course, and its training standard is a different level from teaching yourself to fly.
-
Registered with both the NBTC and CAAT Both the aircraft and the pilot, which is what lets us take work with agencies and corporates that check the paperwork.
-
A team, not a lone freelancer We keep backup pilots and backup equipment, so a scheduling clash or an equipment fault never leaves your shoot half finished.
-
Delivered ready to use, not raw files Stills come colour graded and video comes edited and ready to publish, in every aspect ratio you need for social.
What do we fly?
We keep a range of aircraft and pick the one that suits the job. No single drone does everything well — shooting a resort, threading a narrow gap and filming indoors each call for a different machine.
Commercial camera drone
- Dual camera system A wide lens and a telephoto lens on one aircraft, so a single flight brings back both the wide establishing shot and the tight detail.
- 4K video High frame rates for slow motion
- High-resolution stills Large enough to print big
- Long flight time per battery Keeps rolling without landing every few minutes
- Omnidirectional obstacle sensors Safer to work close to buildings
FPV drone
- Several configurations depending on the site Full prop guards for flying close to walls, trees and narrow gaps, plus a full FPV setup for high-speed shots.
- High-quality camera Footage that genuinely holds up for commercial use, not rough action-cam grabs, with stabilisation built in.
- Flies within inches of obstacles without touching a blade, reaching angles a standard camera drone cannot.
- An ultra-wide field of view that deliversspeed and flowof a kind ordinary camera drones cannot produce
- Used forflying through buildings, chasing a subject, and opening shots
Lightweight drone
- Weighsunder 250 grams
- Video at 4K
- Easier to get into narrow areas and small launch pads
- Also serves as thebackup aircraftif the primary drone has a problem
