What we offer
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Our small team can take on ambitious projects because of our self-sufficiency. While many larger companies require offsite support that burns time and money, we show up with the tools and knowledge to fly. Nothing else required.
MOTHERSHIP AERIAL KNOWS NO LIMITS
We have the confidence that accompanies the proper qualifications and knowledge of FAA safety and regulations. Our 333 exemption, and compliance with part 107, permit Mothership Aerial to explore boundaries, and lead in field where innovation meets creativity.
We know the rules, so we can fly pretty much anywhere. That's not an oxymoron. Knowing who to call to authorize a flight, even in busy airspace, separates an experienced crew from a pack of amateurs. Just let us know where you plan to shoot and we will work to make sure your flight is set up properly.
On the day, our flights produce wide varieties of images, from hovering wide shots to intricate sweeping motions that dip to pass our subjects. Our technology is versatile, and we have the experience to stretch its possibilities.

ALTA 8
The Freefly ALTA series is today's premiere heavy lift drone. Capable of a 20 lb payload, this drone carries cinema cameras on a Movi Pro gimble, which turns on an axis to capture shots exactly the way you’ve imagined them. What makes it unique is both its folding design and the option to also top mount the camera, for fast forward tracking shots or an interesting perspective, looking straight up.
ALTA 6
Except for flying on six propellers, this craft is nearly identical to the Alta 8. If carries a 15 lb payload, also capable of flying a cinema camera with a variety of prime lenses. We always carry on of these as well as the Alta 8 whenever we go out on flights that require heavy lifting.
INspire 2
Our Inspire 2 is a lightweight and very versatile tool. It will not carry cinema cameras but still captures great images, and is able to fly faster, higher, and longer than its more heavyweight Alta cousins. This is great for sweeping landscapes or shooting over the tops of city buildings.
