DJI INSPIRE 3 / FULL-FRAME CINEMALOCATION, LICENSE & INSURANCE
Airspace, filming permits and property access are separate checks. Send the filming address, proposed launch area and the shots you have in mind.
Review pilot credentials and a sample COI on the insurance & compliance page ›. Project-specific certificates are issued by the insurer; confirm your production’s requirements with Jim.
Review needed FAA authorizations, restrictions and the proposed operation. A map or past flight is not approval for a new shoot.
Identify the authority responsible for the actual filming and launch location. “Las Vegas” does not always mean the same jurisdiction.
Arrange permission for access, launch and landing. Review people, vehicles, weather and insurance needs before confirming the plan.
