Drone Cinematography for Film, TV & Commercials in Los Angeles

DLP Aerials is led by Gabe De La Parra, an Emmy-winning drone operator with over 15 years of experience in drone cinematography for film, television, and commercial production in Los Angeles. This background brings a strong understanding of visual storytelling, camera movement, and on-set workflow, allowing us to execute aerial shots that meet the demands of any production.

We operate as a production-ready union drone crew for film, TV, and commercial shoots, working closely with directors, cinematographers, and production teams. Our experience on professional sets ensures efficient communication, safe operations, and seamless integration into fast-paced production environments.

All drone operations are conducted under FAA Part 107 certification and are fully insured with $5M liability. We follow strict safety protocols and studio safety guidelines to ensure compliant, reliable aerial cinematography for productions in Los Angeles and across the U.S.

We provide a full range of drone filming solutions, including FPV drone filming for dynamic shots, DJI Inspire drones for streamlined operations, and heavy-lift systems for more complex camera builds. This allows us to tailor aerial filming to the specific needs of film, television, and commercial productions.

We provide full support for drone filming permits, airspace coordination, and FAA compliance for productions in Los Angeles and surrounding areas. From controlled airspace to complex filming locations, we ensure all regulatory requirements are met so aerial production runs smoothly and safely.
