Drone photography and video for factories and large buildings
ORBITCINE provides drone photo and video of factories, warehouses and large buildings, showing the whole site in one frame, including roof condition and indoor flights. Use it for corporate presentations, inspection documents and space planning. Our pilots are registered with the NBTC and CAAT. Free estimate within the same day.
What can factory drone photography show in a single image?
From the ground, a large building never shows the full picture. Aerial views reveal the site layout, vehicle routes and roof condition all at once.
Full factory overview
Building layout, parking, truck routes and open space for expansion, all in one image — for space planning and partner presentations.
Roof and tall structure surveys
Check roof sheets, gutters and hard-to-reach tall structures for leaks, rust and damage — no scaffolding required.
We can fly indoors
In high-ceilinged factories and warehouses we can fly a continuous shot from outside to inside in a single take, showing both the scale and the real work in progress.
Images for documentation and inspections
Time-stamped high-resolution images for inspection documents, insurance reports and management presentations.
What is each type of footage used for, and what needs to be prepared?
Tell us about restricted areas and factory safety rules in advance, and we'll plan the flights accordingly, covering the exterior, the roof and indoor areas.
| Job | Used for | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Full factory overview | Company profiles, websites, client presentations | Consent and a factory coordinator |
| Roof and tall structure surveys | Maintenance or solar installation planning | A time with no work on the roof |
| Indoor flights | Walkthrough video of production lines and warehouses | Production line safety rules, and areas that must not be filmed |
| Images for documentation and inspections | Documents for authorities or inspectors | The list of angles required by the documents |
Why use a team that follows proper factory entry procedures?
Factory sites have their own safety rules. We always coordinate with your safety officer first, follow the plant's rules and plan flight paths that don't interfere with production lines.

How do you hire factory drone photography?
From your first message to file delivery, our team looks after every step.
1. Send the location and scope
Tell us the factory location, the areas you want captured and the site's safety requirements. We'll assess it and let you know what needs to be prepared.
2. Safety coordination and flight path planning
We check no-fly zones, coordinate with your safety officer and plan routes that don't disrupt production and keep people on site safe.
3. Shoot day
Our pilots shoot the stills and video on site according to plan.
4. Ready-to-use files
High-quality photo and video files, ready for brochures and sales materials.
What do we check before a factory drone shoot?
Every job goes through these 5 checks before booking a flight date, so we fly legally, keep employees and production lines safe, and capture images that match how you'll actually use them. If anything needs time for permission, we'll tell you on the day we give the estimate.
- Factory coordinates vs. no-fly zonesWe check distances from airports, controlled zones and restricted areas. If extra permission is needed, our team applies for it.
- Industrial estate and factory rulesWe coordinate with the safety team on access passes, protective equipment and areas that must not be filmed, such as production lines that are trade secrets
- Indoor flight pathsWe survey ceiling heights, overhead cranes and obstacles before planning continuous shots from outside to inside. If a space is too tight, we'll suggest other angles instead.
- Employee safetyWe plan flight paths away from crowded areas, never fly over production lines with people working, and tell the supervisor where we take off and land
- Weather and windWe check the forecast before the shoot day and reassess on site before takeoff. If the wind exceeds safe limits, we reschedule the flight.
