Reviews
Working with Remedy saved our production. We initially planned to bring our own drone, but hiring them locally was cheaper and much easier. The 6K footage from the Mavic 4 Pro was flawless.
The pilot understood exactly what our DOP wanted. Very professional on set, fast deployment, and they got us the flight permits for the city center in just a few days.
We needed epic landscape shots of the Charyn Canyon for a commercial. The Remedy team drove out with us, managed the batteries perfectly in the heat, and delivered stunning RAW footage.
Excellent communication in English. They acted not just as drone pilots, but as local fixers who knew the terrain perfectly. Highly recommended for any foreign crew.
