Our team
A technical pilot
with a sense of showmanship.
ON THE AIR is a creative, versatile team led by Benoit De Vaux. An advanced certified drone pilot with Transport Canada for over eight years, he also brings more than 30 years of lighting design for major productions in Quebec and abroad. That double expertise makes all the difference at festivals, live shows and event shoots.
What our clients say
Three projects,
three five-star reviews.
I wanted a visual inspection of my building's roof without the risk of climbing up. I called On The Air and Mr. Benoît De Vaux came with his drone. I got clear, precise images, and while discussing my plan to sell, he suggested a promotional video to help the sale along. I was impressed by the images and by Mr. De Vaux's professionalism. Thank you On The Air!
Excellent service. Fast and professional, On the Air will not disappoint. I highly recommend them.
Excellent service, the photos and videos were outstanding. I highly recommend them. Thank you Mr. Devaux.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a drone shoot cost for an event in Quebec?
The price depends on how long the shoot runs, the location, the regulatory requirements (urban area, crowd, nearby airport) and the editing you want. Every project is quoted individually after a first conversation.
Do you need flight authorization for a public event?
Depending on the location and type of event, a shoot may require specific authorization from Transport Canada. ON THE AIR handles that process for every project — the client has nothing to manage on that side.
How long does a Transport Canada permit take?
It varies with the complexity of the file, from a few weeks to about two months. We recommend confirming a shoot in restricted airspace at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
Can a drone legally fly over a crowd?
Yes, under certain conditions. A certified drone under 250 g can fly closer to the public than standard models, always within Transport Canada rules. ON THE AIR matches the aircraft to the event and handles the regulatory steps.
What is the difference between a sub-250 g drone and a standard one?
A drone under 250 g follows lighter rules and can sometimes fly closer to people. A standard drone gives better image quality and stability, but is more strictly regulated around an audience. We pick the aircraft based on the setting and the venue requirements.
How fast do we get the images?
In under 24 hours. Files are delivered through a Google Drive link, with no download limit and no software to install.
Do we get raw files or an edit?
Either. You can receive the raw files as shot, or an edit with colour grading. The choice is settled at the quote stage, based on how you plan to use the images.
Do you shoot in winter?
Yes, we shoot year-round. Cold and snow are not an obstacle: only wind, precipitation or visibility can push a flight to another day, for safety as much as for image quality.
Are you insured?
Yes, our drone operations are covered by insurance. Venue managers and event organizers often require it: ask us for the details when you request a quote.
