About Us
Droneworks New Zealand was founded in 2014 by award winning aerial photographer Colin Aitchison. Colin learnt photography the hard way by jumping out of aeroplanes snapping shots of people strapped to tandem skydive instructors. After several years of building and flying custom drones he decided this was an easier way to get great photos from the air. So in response to a rapidly growing aerial imaging market and the desire to provide beautiful aerial imagery he decided to transform what had been a hobby into a full-time business.
Colin is one of few certificated RPAS pilots in the region, allowing for legal operation inside Queenstown's complex airspace.
“I like to experiment with the capabilities of drones in what is a very new and fast developing industry. If there isn’t already a way to achieve something I will find a way to give the customer exactly what they want”
