When

Days like the 4th of July or New Year's Eve are often the most expensive day for a drone light show. Demand is the highest on those days that changes the pricing to be the highest out of the year. Normally pricing is consistent on every other day of the year but it's important to check with a Sky Elements representative to know if your event is on a peak date.

Where

Some areas are more challenging than others. To have a drone show it is important to consider where the drone show will launched and perform from. Highly congested cities, like New York City, are the hardest places to launch a drone show and may require road closures, city permits, and costly rentals of launch space. While every city and location is different, we have the resources to guide you through the process and give you a detailed analysis of your activation area.

What

One of the most important factors to consider the cost of your drone show comes from the number of drones. The more drones you have the higher in resolution your images will be. A smaller show would start in the $15,000 price range and is ideal for simple logos and designs. If you want more complicated imagery like a detailed logo, 3D designs, a QR code and more pricing becomes more custom.
