Vehicle shoots with drones in the Canary Islands

Rallies, advertising and audiovisual productions

Drone shoots have become a key tool for filming moving vehicles with agility, creativity and safety.
Whether for rally races, vehicle commercials or cinematic scenes, FPV and stabilised drones offer a range of shots that are impossible to achieve from the ground.

In the Canary Islands, thanks to its unique terrain and exceptional weather conditions, more and more audiovisual production companies and advertising agencies are relying on specialised drone teams to capture high-quality footage of cars, motorbikes or any type of vehicle.

Why film vehicles with drones in the Canary Islands?

Volcanic landscapes, coastal roads and natural settings that create a strong visual identity.
A wide range of landscapes and environments within a small territory, reducing travel and logistics costs.
Stable weather conditions all year round.
Versatile locations: beaches, mountains, open roads and circuits.
Regulations adapted for drone operations, as long as certified operators are involved.

The Canary Islands offer a wide variety of landscapes – everything you can imagine.

Types of drones for vehicle shoots

FPV drones (Cinewhoop or 5 and 7 inches)

Safe, lightweight and able to fly very close to the vehicle.
Used for dynamic shots, low-angle tracking, curves and drifts.
Equipped with GoPro Hero12 Black, DJI O4 Pro and others.
Can be configured with dual operators (pilot and camera).

Stabilised drones

Like the DJI Inspire 3 and DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine.
Ideal for wide shots, institutional footage or smooth tracking.
Excellent performance for 8K and 5K recording and log profiles.

Rally shoots with FPV drones

Rallies are sporting events set against powerful visual backdrops – dust, dirt, speed and action.

That’s why they’re ideal for working with drones, as they allow for shots that place the viewer in the heart of the event, resource footage for introducing qualifiers, and an aerial overview of the course in just a few seconds. With a reduced investment, you can achieve shots that elevate the production to the level of major events and grand prix competitions.

When filming a race with FPV drones, it’s essential to have a second stabilised drone pilot to coordinate and communicate with the FPV pilot, so you can make the most of battery life and be in the right place at the right time.

In rallies held in the Canary Islands, such as those in Gran Canaria or La Palma, FPV drones offer spectacular coverage without the need for complex infrastructure.

In 2025, the Rally Islas Canarias will be part of the WRC (World Rally Championship) calendar, placing the islands firmly on the international motorsport map. This event will not only attract top drivers and teams, but also media outlets, brands and production companies looking to capture the excitement of the event with the highest visual quality.

Drones make it possible to document each stage of the rally from an immersive perspective, showcasing both the performance of the vehicles and the stunning landscapes of the Canary Islands.

Automotive advertising: drones at the service of the brand

In automotive commercials, the drone reinforces the brand message:

Speed, freedom, technology, design, comfort.
Smooth or aggressive aerial shots, depending on the concept.
Seamless integration with post-production and colour grading.

Drones allow for agile shoots without compromising cinematic quality.

Audiovisual productions and vehicle scenes

Chase scenes, travel, exploration or brand storytelling can benefit from:

Low-level lateral tracking shots to showcase speed.
Overhead views or 360-degree spins around the vehicle.
Shots that connect the exterior and interior thanks to FPV precision.

Post-production and cinematic aesthetics

Digital stabilisation of FPV flights (Gyroflow, Reelsteady).
Professional colour correction for seamless integration with other shots.
Reframing possibilities thanks to high-resolution recording.
The final result maintains cinematic aesthetics without compromising agility or safety.
