Hey everyone,

I’ve been seeing drone light shows becoming more popular at festivals and public events here in India. The visuals are amazing, but it got me thinking — what kind of cost goes into setting up something like that?

• Is the pricing usually per drone, or do companies quote a package for a certain number of drones?

• What’s the minimum number of drones needed to make the show look impressive?

• Do costs vary a lot depending on location, permissions, and logistics?

• Has anyone here actually been involved in organizing or attending one, and could share some ballpark figures?

When I try searching online, the answers about drone show cost seem pretty broad, so I’m curious to hear from people with real-world experience. Is this something only big-budget events (like government functions, corporate launches, or weddings) can afford, or is it slowly becoming more accessible?
