Drone service

Drone photography in Sri Lanka

Every photo in our portfolio was taken by our own team with our own drones, at real places in Sri Lanka. We checked the location of each one by GPS and edited the colours ourselves.

We take drone photos for travellers, hotels, property owners and anyone who needs aerial pictures of a place on the island.

Cameras we use for photos

  • DJI Mavic 4 Pro: 100 MP Hasselblad camera and two zoom cameras
  • DJI Air 3S: 1 inch main camera with 50 MP photos
  • DJI Mavic Air 2: 48 MP photos

What people use drone photos for

  • Travel memories and prints
  • Hotel websites and booking pages
  • Property listings
  • Social media and articles

Photos and video on the same shoot

Most shoots can include both photos and video. Tell us which matters more to you, so we plan the time and the light around it.

Light and weather

Drones may only fly in daylight, and not in rain, gusty wind or low visibility. Sunrise and the last hour before sunset usually give the softest light. In the hills, early mornings can bring a sea of clouds below the peaks, like our sunrise photo from the central hills.

Rain in Sri Lanka follows two monsoons. From May to September the southwest monsoon brings most of the rain to the south and west coasts and the hills, while the east coast is usually drier. From December to February the northeast monsoon brings rain to the north and east. October and November can be wet across most of the island.
