The questions producers actually ask.

Yes — when they're done correctly. We operate under FAA Part 107 with over-people waivers, category-compliant aircraft, written safety plans, and crowd cordons to fly legally above audiences when the venue and airspace allow it. Most operators don't hold these waivers — it's the single biggest difference between a drone pilot and an aerial production company. See our operations system or the concerts & festivals page.

Yes. Indoor flight isn't FAA-regulated airspace, but it demands venue approval, crowd-safe aircraft, and a written safety case. We fly ducted cinewhoop-style drones with full propeller guards for smooth indoor fly-throughs in arenas, hotels, museums, activations, and branded spaces — meet the aircraft.

Yes — we're certified for night operations with anti-collision lighting and night-specific procedures per FAA requirements. Headline sets, pyro moments, and night skylines are inside our operating envelope, not outside it.

All of it. Airspace review, LAANC authorizations, waiver documentation, and venue coordination happen in flight planning, days before anyone sees a drone. You get copies of everything for your production file.

We carry commercial aviation liability insurance up to $10 million, covering live events and over-people operations. That's the tier venues, municipalities, and broadcast productions require — not the hobbyist minimum.

Yes — Certificates of Insurance with additional-insured language for your venue or production entity are issued within 24 hours of request. Request a COI.

Every operation includes a written risk assessment, waiver documentation, licensing paperwork, and COIs — the package venue counsel actually approves. We've been through the process at the NBA level. The full operations system.

It depends on location, complexity, airspace, and whether you need live feeds, multiple aircraft, or travel days. Most projects quote as a day-rate package with clear line items for prep, shoot, and travel. Send the brief and you'll have a feasibility read and budget range within 24 hours — start here.

A few basics go a long way: event date and location, schedule or run-of-show, desired shots, airspace constraints, and any house rules from the venue. From there we handle permits, planning, and safe flight profiles — how we work.

We're based in Orange County, California and work nationwide — we frequently travel for concerts, festivals, tours, sports, and branded events across the U.S. Travel details are built into our quotes.

High-energy, high-stakes productions: concerts and festivals, stadium and arena events, live broadcast, brand campaigns and commercials, venue and indoor tours, and cinematic fly-throughs — the complex operations most drone operators can't take on. See the work.

Yes — we regularly feed FPV cameras into LED walls, broadcast trucks, and IMAG systems, delivered as SDI or NDI with latency and routing coordinated with your technical team. Flown live at EDC Las Vegas and NBA games at Intuit Dome.

Six aircraft systems, built and tuned in-house: the DJI Inspire 3 cinema drone, Mavic 4 Pro, guarded sub-250 g platforms for over-people flight, custom X8 cinelifters carrying RED cinema cameras, 5–7 inch FPV rigs with GoPro, and ducted indoor cinewhoops. Explore the fleet.

Scoped to your production: same-night social cuts for live events where the moment matters, organized raw for your post team, and color-graded masters on an agreed timeline. Files arrive labeled, graded or S-Log — ready for the edit.
