Drone & Aerial
FAA Part 107 certified pilots. LA & SF coverage.
Overview
What we do for drone & aerial.
Cinema-grade aerial unit with FAA Part 107 certified pilots based in LA and the Bay Area. We fly Inspire 3 with full-frame ProRes RAW, Mavic 3 Cine, and cinema FPV.
Cleared for restricted airspace: we handle LAANC, DSC waivers, and on-set coordination with local tower control. Production insurance and certificates handled the same day.
We've flown for features, episodics, commercials, real estate, sports, and live events — backup drones, batteries, and a second pilot/spotter on every job.
