Frequently Asked Questions About Our Rentals
What types of drones and cameras can I rent?
We offer a wide range of DJI drones for hire — from lightweight models like the Mini and Air series to professional and enterprise platforms such as Inspire and Matrice.
We also rent compact cameras like the DJI Pocket 3, action cameras, 360 cameras, and professional stabilised camera systems for film and content production.
Do I need a licence to fly a drone in New Zealand?
Most recreational drone flights do not require a special licence, but you must follow Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) rules and fly safely.
It’s your responsibility to ensure compliance with NZ drone regulations before flying.
Can I rent extra batteries or accessories with my booking?
Yes — you can add extra batteries, charging hubs, controllers, memory cards, microphones, gimbals, and other accessories to your rental.
We generally recommend additional batteries for drone shoots to maximise flight time and avoid downtime on location.
How long can I rent the equipment for?
We offer flexible hire options including single-day, weekend, weekly, and extended project rentals.
If you need equipment for a longer production, inspection, or commercial project, get in touch and we can tailor a rental package to suit.
Do you provide setup guidance or technical support?
Yes — our team can provide basic setup guidance and operational advice to ensure you’re confident using the equipment.
