Meet the Dutch Drone Gods
With our team of seven full team dedicated employees we make sure we take every drone shoot to the next level.
Producing high-end fpv drone videos for all of our clients; from smaller productions, live events, festivals to television and even cinema movies.
Ralph Hogenbirk
Pilot & founder
Nothing's impossible with this guy. Always looking to push the limits on a production and not afraid to try new techniques to stand out from the rest. He's the pilot behind Red Bull's World's Best FPV Drone Shot and many more things that were once thought to be impossible to shoot.

Thomas de Koster

Thomas has been involved with DDG from the very beginning as a freelancer, but now fully joined the team. He is one of the smoothest fpv pilots we know and is experienced in flying bigger rigs. Besides piloting he's also a great engineer, responsible for designing the Red Bull Drone One.

Bas van 't Hul
Engineer / drone tech
Just a small amount of people are so heavily invested with everything that has to do with FPV drones and have such a deep understanding of all the tech around it. Bas breaths drones 24 hours a day you could say. It wouldn't come as a surprise he's one of the godfathers of the Red Bull Drone One, the first drone that could keep up with an F1 car.

Rene Sebastian
Creative director
Rene get's involved on the bigger projects we undertake. Wether it's from directing on set or mixing his creative ideas into concepts we cook up with our clients. He’s often the link between the director and the FPV team, sets up crazy choreo shots and generally pushes the pilots to the next level on shoots.

Fardau van der Meulen
Project manager & producer
Although she's not a pilot herself, we simply cannot run the company without her. She makes sure every production gets planned, answers all our emails and phone calls and make sure the rest of the team can focus on flying. Her female grip keeps this group of men in order ;-)
