Drone in Mechelen
Drone pilot in Mechelen
I live in the Mechelen area and this is where I fly most. If you want to show your business, your building or your project from the air, I am there quickly. No long-distance travel costs and no waiting list of weeks.
What to keep in mind in Mechelen
- A large part of Mechelen sits under an approach route for Brussels Airport. Height is limited above part of the city and some zones need clearance in advance. I check that per address before we set a date.
- The old centre is full of people, terraces and traffic. With an aircraft under 250 grams I may come closer to people than with a heavier drone, but I will not fly over a packed Grote Markt.
- Around the Dijle, the Vismarkt and Tivoli park there is enough room to film low and calmly, with the city behind it.
- Business parks like Mechelen-Noord and Ragheno are open ground: a flight there is quickly arranged and the result is striking straight away.
What people here call me for
Buildings and projects
A property for sale or for rent, or a finished project you want to show.
Places with a terrace
An aerial shot shows at a glance where you are and how much space you have.
Sites and renovations
Recording progress, or showing the end result to whoever paid for it.
What it roughly costs
A flight in Mechelen starts from 70 euros. For a larger job, with more footage and an edited video, it runs up to around 200 euros. I always give you a price first and you decide afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Can you fly anywhere in Mechelen?
No. Part of the city lies under the Brussels Airport approach, where height is limited or clearance is required. I check your address on the official map before we agree on anything, and I tell you plainly if it cannot be done.
How soon can you come?
I live in the area, so usually within the week. For an address that needs clearance, allow a little more time for the request.
What if the weather is bad?
We move the date. I do not fly in rain or strong wind: it costs you money and produces nothing usable.
Do I get the raw footage as well?
If you want it, yes. By default I deliver edited photos and a cut video, ready for your site or social media.
Need a website in Mechelen too?
I also build websites for businesses in Mechelen. Aerial footage on your own site lasts longer than a post that is scrolled past by tomorrow.
