Drone Filming and Aerial Photography Across New Zealand
Parallax Films offers professional drone filming and aerial photography that brings a new perspective to property, places, architecture and the environments around them.
From sweeping aerials of large-scale developments to detailed flyovers of aged care communities, rural properties and coastal resorts, drone work is crafted to show scale, context and design from above.
The team operates with a certified drone pilot holding CAA 102 approval and certification. This means Parallax Films can legally fly in areas where uncertified operators cannot, including within 4km of an airfield. The team also holds an exception that allows night flying and can work with clients to gain concessions for Government-owned land. Drone operations are strictly only carried out where it is legal and safe to do so.
