Air 3s Prague: A Golden Symphony

GekoCH · Apr 28, 2025

Hi everyone,

I recently spent a day filming Prague from the air and just finished putting together a short film. Most parts were shot during golden hour with a DJI Air 3S, capturing not only the famous landmarks like Charles Bridge and the Vltava River, but also some hidden gems tucked away in the city.

The light was absolutely magical especially do to the cloud cover in the south. Hope you enjoy watching - and turn the music up!

Great video!! Were you required to get approvals to fly there? If the answer is yes, was it hard to get those approvals?

No I didn't need any approval. However there are 3 airports nearby and Prague and its surrounding is covered in rectangles each representing another max flight altitude. Some 20m above ground some 120m. So you need to check in each region how high you can fly and adapt accordingly.
Further more all scene from the big church were filmed in the early morning so almost no people were around. Later during the evening I stayed the entire time over the water so if a complete loss of control would happen nobody gets hurt.

Thanks.
I saw recently Michael Portilo's "Prague" doco and some of the shots there looked like your's in this video. Was this done for him?

No not really. I was just there last week so the shots are pretty fresh ;-) But would be nice to do some shots for a doco!
