WE ARE KIWI

Cinematographers of the air

AERIAL SHOTS SPECIALISTS WITH A PASSION FOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE OUTDOORS

Kiwi Aerial Shots is a certified Dutch drone company that was founded over twelve years ago by Kim Hoogervorst and Willem de Groot, therefore our name Ki-Wi! The foundation of it all was the fascination and technical challenge of building stabilized flying cameras at a time when drones didn’t exist. Because of these early insights, we are now a true specialist and market leader when it comes to professional aerial cinematography as we still work from our passion for beautiful images and awesome technics. Therefore our mission statement is; “Realising your unrestricted aerial cinematography requests!”

10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

In the last decade, Kiwi grew slowly and to be honest, we would like to keep it this way. We love to work from a small professional team that cooperates smoothly in every decision and challenge. Professional pilots, technical custom rig builders and true wizards of the post-production. We only work with the best so we can always go for maximum results!

CUSTOM IS KING

We are constantly working on a custom project in our workshop in Amsterdam. Let us know if you have a unique groundbreaking project in mind that will push the limits!

We love adventurous productions

Telling small stories with esthetic shots in adventurous outdoor adventures is what we love to do!

Before drones existed

We where flying drones before the word drone even existed! because of this we have the technical knowledge and set experience you can expect from a professional drone company.
