Welcome to Byron Bay Drone

.

Back in the days, aerial imagery services were provided exclusively by photographers utilizing helicopters, or via a camera fitted blimps.  In 2007 i launched my first blimp, with a tiny RC camera transmitting video on a TV monitor. Ten years later, as the technology evolved exponentially with lightweight lithium batteries and high-resolution cameras, manufacturers developed Remote Pilot Aircrafts, creating new opportunities across all industries for Drone operators.  

.

My initial drone operations involved flying above the Byron Bay shoreline shooting surfing videos, and soon  evolved into commercial applications: producing web-friendly aerial shots for real estate, performing site inspections, and creating footage for advertising and social media promotions.  

.

In 2019, I launched Byron Bay Drone, expending services to surveyors, construction sites and mining, providing photogrammetry and  3D site mapping.

Byron Bay Drone is run and operated by Philippe Soria a qualified (Remote Pilot Licence 1096572) and fully insuredย CASA registered drone operatorย (ARN:ย 1031448).
