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
Pilot / engineer
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.

Managing a large fleet of drones is no small feat, but that's where Jaco steps in! He's the force behind our drone maintenance and innovation, crafting new models to keep us at the forefront. Jaco is our tech master chief overseeing not just our drones but also ensuring our office operations run seamlessly.

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 ;-)
