Beach, pier, Binnenhof and ministries: The Hague combines sea and government within a few kilometres. Because the city lies outside controlled airspace a shoot here can happen fast, although the government quarter requires careful coordination.

With Skymotion you hire one aerial unit: drone pilot, drones, cameras and where needed a camera operator, spotter and RT operator. We work out in advance what the airspace in Den Haag allows and which agreements are needed, so on the shooting day you only deal with the shot.

Airspace

Den Haag: free airspace, quick to plan

The Hague lies outside the Schiphol and Rotterdam CTRs, so no mission plan with LVNL. Around the Binnenhof, ministries and embassies restrictions do apply, which we check per shot on the map; above beach and sea we take the coastguard and the public into account.

Example locations

Filming in and around Den Haag: wherever the shot calls for it

We fly anywhere in and around Den Haag the story calls for: city centre, industry, water, countryside. Below are a few places productions often ask for, with what to keep in mind for each.

  • 01
    Scheveningen: pier, boulevard and Kurhaus

    quietest outside the high season.

  • 02
    Binnenhof and Hofvijver

    governmental The Hague, only with prior coordination.

  • 03
    Zuiderstrand and Kijkduin

    empty beach and dunes for commercials.

  • 04
    Meijendel and the estates

    green backdrop; Natura 2000, so the manager's permission is required.

Permissions and planning

How we arrange a shooting day in Den Haag

Authorisation and requests

We fly under our Specific-category authorisation from the Dutch ILT; outside a CTR no request with air traffic control is needed.

Local agreements

We coordinate with the City of The Hague, especially in the centre and on the boulevard, and with the owner of the take-off spot. For the Meijendel dunes and other Natura 2000 areas the production has to arrange the site manager's permission; we flag when that applies.

Planning

Often planned within a few days; for events and city-centre shoots a little earlier because of the municipality. If the shot requires a street or square to be cordoned off, we flag that well in advance so the production can plan for it.

On the shooting day

We arrive on set on time, brief with the director and DOP, and you watch live on the monitor. Then we fly until the shot is in, while a spotter keeps an eye on the airspace and the surroundings.

FAQ

Hiring a drone pilot in Den Haag: questions

Can you film with a drone in Den Haag?

Yes. Den Haag lies outside controlled airspace, so no request with air traffic control is needed. We fly under our Specific-category authorisation from the Dutch ILT; in the centre we coordinate time and place with the municipality.

How quickly can a drone pilot be on set in Den Haag?

Outside a CTR it often works within a few days, sometimes the next day. Send the location, date and shot and you hear the same day what is possible.

What does it cost to hire a drone pilot in Den Haag?

That depends on the drone and camera, the crew that comes along, the airspace, the travel time and the length of the shooting day; that is why we do not publish standard prices. You usually get a tailored quote the same day.

Which drone do you use in Den Haag?

Usually the DJI Inspire 3 (8K, full-frame) or a Mavic for quick shots, FPV for dynamic footage through and alongside objects, and the heavy-lift Alta X when your own cinema camera has to go up.
