Drone in Willebroek
Drone pilot in Willebroek
Willebroek is a municipality of water and work: the canal cuts straight through it, with warehouses and yards on both sides and open space around Heindonk and Blaasveld. That is rewarding ground for a drone, because that scale never comes across from street level.
What we watch for in Willebroek
- The Brussels-Scheldt canal gives the municipality its best lines. A property or yard on the water comes across twice as well from the air as in a photo taken from the street.
- The estates along the canal are open and generously sized. A flight is quickly arranged there, and for a warehouse or a haulage firm one shot from above convinces more than a whole photo set.
- Around Fort Breendonk I do not simply fly. It is a national memorial and a place where respect matters more than a good shot. If you want something filmed nearby, we look at that separately and carefully.
- Heindonk and Blaasveld are open and green, with the rowing course and the water as a backdrop. For a business with a yard or a house with plenty of outdoor space, it is the easiest job there is.

Roughly what it costs
Because clearance is rarely needed in Willebroek, it comes down to the flight and the editing: from 50 euros, up to around 200 euros if you want an edited video with it. For a large site or several buildings I say in advance if more time is needed.
Frequently asked questions
Does Willebroek need clearance?
Usually not. Most of the municipality is free airspace. I always check your address, because around certain industry and around the fort there are rules.
Can you fly over the canal?
I like the canal as a backdrop, but I do not hover over the shipping lane when there is traffic. It is not needed for a good shot and it is not sensible.
Can you fit a large estate into one image?
Yes. I can work up to around 120 metres, which is ample to frame a warehouse with its parking and access road. If the site is bigger, I fly several passes.
How soon do I get the footage?
Two to three working days. If you need it sooner for a publication or a sale, say so in advance.
Need a website in Willebroek too?
I also build websites for businesses in Willebroek and Blaasveld. Footage of your own site does more there than someone else’s stock photo.
