Drone in Lier
Drone pilot in Lier
Lier is one of those towns that only truly makes sense from the air: the ramparts ringing it, the Nete running through it, the beguinage and the Zimmer tower as landmarks. For a property or a business in Lier, that is a backdrop worth using.
What to watch for in Lier
- Lier is not far from Antwerp airport. For part of the town that means a height restriction or a request in advance. I look your address up on the official map and tell you straight away whether it is free.
- The centre around the market square is busy and densely built. I do not fly over the terraces and the shoppers. Early in the morning, with the town still quiet, things work there that are impossible at a busy hour.
- Along the ramparts, the Nete and around the Netepark there is space enough. I can work low and calmly there, with the town as a backdrop instead of an obstacle.
- Koningshooikt is more open and rural. Businesses with a yard and houses with a large garden fit into one image there, and clearance is rarely needed.
What people call for here
Property in town
A home or shop with the ramparts or the Nete in frame half sells itself.
Hospitality with a terrace
Show where your place sits and how much outdoor space you have, which a photo from the door never conveys.
Projects and sites
Follow a new build or a renovation in and around town, from shell to handover.
Roughly what it costs
A flight in Lier starts from 50 euros. For a larger job with edited photos and a cut video it runs up to around 200 euros. If your address needs a request, I charge nothing extra for it, it simply needs a bit more lead time.
Frequently asked questions
Can you fly in the centre of Lier?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no, and it depends on the address as much as the moment. In a busy shopping street I do not fly over people. Early on a Sunday morning, far more is possible. I check it and suggest a time myself.
Does Antwerp airport matter here?
For part of the area, yes. A height restriction applies or clearance must be requested. That is not a problem, it simply needs arranging a few weeks ahead.
Can you film the Zimmer tower or the beguinage?
From a distance and from above a lot is possible, but a monument is not a free playground: local rules and sensitivities can apply. Tell me what you want in frame and I will find out what is allowed.
Do you come to Koningshooikt as well?
Yes, and it is usually simpler than the centre: more open, quieter, and rarely a request needed.
Need a website in Lier too?
I also build websites for businesses in Lier and Koningshooikt. A site with real footage of your own place stands out among ten sites using stock photos.
