Factor Zero Gravity

I live and breathe photography. My father was a professional photographer and taught me, from a young age, to see everything through a lens because that's when you're really see. I really got my love for back-light from him! I studied to be an accountant. So, I go crazy for numbers and have a close relationship with my agenda and schedules.
I'll let the drone reach for the stars while I stay put with both feet on the ground.
To fulfil my dream of an office on the top floor of a skyscraper, I first have to overcome my fear of heights. My greatest passion is my company: I'd do anything for it!

I believe that drones primarily offer an innovative platform to position sensors in locations that are inaccessible, inefficient, or unsafe to reach from the ground. A quote that beautifully encapsulates my view on drone technology is the following: 'Getting the data to the people and not the people to the data.'

Furthermore, I am convinced that the work of a drone operator does not end with data collection. For me, it is essential to always consult with the end user to thoroughly understand their needs. My passion lies in the process of researching, brainstorming, testing, and prototyping to ultimately arrive at a solution that perfectly aligns with the specific needs of the client or project.

What I appreciate most about my daily work is the constant interaction I experience as a drone operator with diverse sectors. Whether it's in high voltage or real estate, my curiosity and love for technology are continuously reignited. Given Zero Gravity's broad client base, I also constantly meet people who share a similar passion for their own field, which I find to be the most beautiful aspect of my work.

Dimar has been passionate about photography and videography from a young age. Since graduating in Photo & Film Design from the Fotovakschool in 2013, he has built 11 years of professional experience, including extensive work with drones—an expertise he began developing alongside his studies. His career spans a wide range of projects: from cinematic videos in the Caribbean and weekly drone shoots for the national broadcaster EO, to impressive offshore assignments in Malta for Boskalis, where he filmed the world’s largest semi-submersible vessel.

Dimar also spent two years as a certified drone instructor at Drone Flight Academy, providing theoretical and practical training in photography, videography, overflight, and night-ops. He is currently the Creative Director at ZeroGravity Drone, a European-certified drone operator. In this role, he leads creative projects, leveraging his extensive experience as an all-round filmmaker to its full potential.

Creating visuals is what I was born to do—especially from the sky. I live for that perfect shot that makes a story resonate. My time at the Dutch Filmers Academy gave me a solid foundation in everything from cinematography to post-production, but it was my passion for drone cinematography that truly defined my style. Now, with over four years of experience, I’ve turned that passion into my expertise.

I’m a tech lover at heart, always looking for the latest gear to experiment with and challenge myself. I believe that combining cutting-edge tech with creative craftsmanship is how you create truly stunning aerial visuals.

When I'm off-duty, I head to the coast. The beach and the dunes are my go-to spots to recharge, find fresh inspiration, and simply enjoy the outdoors.

My fascination with drones began when I was just ten years old, and that passion has only grown since. During my studies in Drone Engineering & Operations, I immersed myself in both the technical and business aspects of the industry.

I specialize in FPV drone videography, using custom-built racing drones equipped with action and cinema cameras to bring unique perspectives to life.

At Zero Gravity Drone, I work on projects where creativity, technology, and precision intersect. While my primary focus is on FPV and cinematic aerials, I am also highly proficient with high-end cinema platforms like the DJI Inspire 3.

I believe that as humans, we are capable of great things—but with the right technology, we can achieve even more. Drones are becoming an integral part of that evolution, making our lives more enjoyable, safer, and more efficient. As we move forward, we will see this technology applied more broadly, not just for inspecting buildings, wind turbines, or bridges, but also for saving lives.

My name is Bart Pardoen. By profession, I am a firefighter. In addition, I operate drones with a primary focus on risk analysis, protocols, and safety. That is my core business.

In addition to his 14 years of experience as a private pilot, Rob has an extensive background as a fraud coordinator and private investigator. He also conducted various training programs within the Police force.

At Zero Gravity Drone, Rob is responsible for communication with Air Traffic Control (ATC) during operations within Control Zones (CTRs). When he’s not focused on drone operations, Rob enjoys practicing judo or going for a run.

As CFO I am involved in the start of Zero Gravity Drone. I am generally responsible for the finance function in the broadest sense, including strategic business planning, reporting, forecasting and taxation. A sparring partner for the driven gentlemen who have flown into the drone industry with passion. I support the company during various moving phases from focus on revenue growth to focus on bottomline and OCF. Involved in the company and ensure with an effective approach that the right decisions can be made.
