Cinematic aerial drone filming for brands, tourism and advertising
Our aerial drone footage doesn't look like drone footage; it looks like cinema. Every shot is planned like a film set: light, pace, point of view and purpose. We shoot 4K in a log profile so the colour holds up to any grade, and deliver raw footage or a finished edit.

Aerial cinematography with a filmmaker's eye
Great aerial video isn't just flying around. We choose the light (usually golden hour), design slow, precise moves and use the 70 mm lens for compressed shots that separate the subject from the background, something most service drones can't do.
As the aerial unit of Esteban Media, the drone shoot can be part of a complete production: script, ground filming, editing, grading and sound by the same creative team.
How much does drone filming cost in Spain?
A half day of drone filming (up to 4 h of flight, raw footage) starts at €450 and a full day at €790. A finished cinematic edit with grading and sound starts at €1,200.
For reference, a basic half day in the Spanish market usually costs €250–450, while cinema or advertising productions run €1,000–2,500 per day.
Drone filming in Bilbao, the Basque Country and across Spain
We're based in Getxo and know the Basque coast well, from Bakio and Gaztelugatxe to Sopela, Getxo and Bilbao. For shoots in San Sebastián, Cantabria, Madrid or anywhere else in Spain and Europe, travel is quoted separately.

Aerial drone filming · Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a drone videographer?
From €450 for a half day and €790 for a full day with raw footage. A finished edit with grading and sound starts at €1,200. You get a fixed price before the flight.
Do you deliver raw or edited footage?
Both. You can get raw D-Log M clips for your own editors or a finished piece with editing, grading and sound.
Can you shoot vertical video for Reels and TikTok?
Yes. The DJI Air 3 shoots true vertical without cropping the sensor, so 9:16 keeps full quality.
Do I need a permit to film with a drone in Spain?
No, we handle it: Interior Ministry notification in urban areas, coordination with ENAIRE or heliports when needed, and landowner permission for take-off.
Other drone services
Permits are on us
Flying well isn't just piloting. We check UAS geographical zones and handle notifications with the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, ENAIRE (air navigation), heliport and aerodrome operators, ADIF (railways) or landowners. You just choose the shot.
We don't do thermal imaging, LiDAR, multispectral agriculture or light shows: they need equipment we don't have. If you need them, we'll point you in the right direction.
