Mastering Drone Permitting & Compliance in Guangzhou
For international filmmakers and production companies, navigating aerial filming regulations in China can be complex—especially in bustling hubs like Guangzhou. As a Shanghai-based production house with over a decade of experience, Shoot in China simplifies the process with end-to-end support for drone permitting and legal compliance, ensuring your project proceeds without delays.
Why Drone Regulations Matter in Guangzhou
Guangzhou’s dynamic skyline and vibrant urban landscapes make it a prime location for aerial cinematography. However, strict regulations govern drone usage, including:
- CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China) permits for commercial drone operations
- No-fly zones around government buildings and airports
- Mandatory licensing for drone pilots
Our team handles all paperwork, including applications for special airspace access and coordination with local authorities—saving you weeks of back-and-forth.
