About Fotofusi Surabaya Drone Videography
Fotofusi Surabaya provides drone videography with KKOP-certified pilots familiar with local airspace regulations around Juanda Airport (Sidoarjo) plus the Suramadu Bridge restricted zone. Unlike tier-2 cities, Surabaya carries layered regulatory complexity: Suramadu is a drone restricted zone (requires PUPR + AirNav coordination), Tanjung Perak Port needs Pelindo authorization, Bromo Tengger Semeru requires a special permit from TN BTS management + BMKG reporting during heightened volcanic activity, and the Rungkut SIER / Gresik industrial estates (Petrokimia, Semen Gresik) require factory management permits plus safety briefings.
What sets us apart for Surabaya: our local pilots have handled aerial work at the city's iconic landmarks — Suramadu Bridge sunset (with flight paths outside the direct bridge zone per PUPR coordination), Heroes Monument (Tugu Pahlawan) for patriotic 10 November documentation, Klenteng Sanggar Agung at Kenjeran Beach with the signature sky-sea-temple composition unique to Surabaya, and Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium (GBT) Pakal for sporting events. For Pakuwon City mega residential, we maintain a footage library for property developers launching new clusters — establishing angles that reveal the masterplan layout plus scenic lake views.
For the Bromo sunrise destination: our pilots are trained for sub-zero pre-dawn conditions 04:00-06:00 at Cemoro Lawang. Our gear includes thermal protection for drones (LiPo batteries cold-drain rapidly at -2 degrees, so we carry 8-10 extra full-charged batteries), waterproofing for thick fog condensation, and pre-flight warming systems. We apply for TN BTS permits T-7 before the shoot — the Fotofusi team handles paperwork including reporting to the BMKG Pasuruan post if Bromo's volcanic status is active. Equipment lineup: DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine (Hasselblad cinematic 4K HDR) for Standard package, DJI Inspire 3 (cinema-grade 6K full-frame) for Premium, and Autel EVO II as backup with independent battery system.
For Rungkut SIER industrial estate (Unilever, Sampoerna PMI, Wings, Maspion, Garudafood) and Gresik (Petrokimia Gresik, Semen Gresik/SIG, Wilmar Nabati), we are familiar with manufacturing commercial shoot protocols — factory management permits T-3 before, safety briefing with helmets + safety shoes + fluorescent vests, and flight paths avoiding plant smokestacks (thermal turbulence). Tanjung Perak Port requires coordination with Pelindo + KSOP (Harbor Master Office) because it's a national strategic port operational area. Payment goes through Fotofusi escrow — funds held until brand approves. Our signature LUT 'warm urban brass' suits Surabaya's distinctive industrial-heritage mood. Juanda Airport pickup 30 minutes for out-of-town clients.
Suramadu Bridge is a drone restricted zone. We coordinate PUPR + AirNav for compliant flight paths outside the direct bridge zone — Madura Strait sunset compositions legal and safe.
Special permit from TN Bromo Tengger Semeru management applied T-7. BMKG Pasuruan post reporting during active volcanic status. Thermal gear + extra batteries for sub-zero 04:00 pre-dawn.
Familiar with MNC manufacturing commercial shoot protocols. Petrokimia, Semen Gresik, Unilever, Sampoerna PMI management permits + safety briefing helmet + flight paths avoiding factory smokestacks.
All Surabaya pilots are KKOP-aware for Juanda Airport approach pattern, DJI/SDPI certified, plus insured equipment + third-party liability. Not hobbyists.

Testimonials
Bu Damayanti
Corporate Communication Manager, Pelindo Regional III · Tanjung Perak Surabaya · March 2026

Used Fotofusi Aerial Premium package with DJI Inspire 3 6K. Their team handled Pelindo + KSOP coordination for the commercial shoot permit at a national strategic port operational area — smooth process, fully compliant. Footage went into Q1 annual report + used in corporate TVC.”
