FPV DRONES
FOR FILM & TV
Custom-built FPV rigs flown by experienced cinema pilots. Shots that traditional drones, cranes and wire rigs simply can't deliver.
CUSTOM FPV DRONE OPERATORS
FOR FILM, TV, COMMERCIALS & LIVE EVENTS
We Fly Aerial Media operates custom-built FPV drone rigs for film, television, commercials and live events — flown by experienced cinema pilots with FAA Part 107 certification and special waivers for flight over people, moving vehicles and controlled airspace. FPV drones unlock perspectives physically impossible with traditional camera platforms: through doorways, inside arenas, alongside moving vehicles at over 100mph, and through crowds at live events. Our rigs carry the RED Komodo 6K, Freefly Ember high-speed camera up to 800fps, and sub-250g micro rigs for applications where weight and size are critical.
Our FPV drone crews are based in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, New York, Atlanta and Chicago. All operations are covered under a $10M–$25M worldwide aviation liability policy meeting the requirements of all major studios, networks and brands. We hold §107.145 waivers for flight over moving vehicles and §107.39 waivers for flight over people — both essential for commercial and event productions. FilmLA and NYPD permitting experience in both LA and New York.
WHERE FPV CHANGES EVERYTHING
SHOTS NO OTHER PLATFORM
CAN DELIVER
COMMERCIALS & BRANDED CONTENT
Immersive product reveals, dynamic brand stories and hero shots that make audiences stop scrolling. FPV brings energy no crane or gimbal can match.
TV & FILM PRODUCTION
Chases, reveals, transitions through sets and environments. FPV delivers kinetic energy that streaming audiences expect — in a single shot, no VFX required.
INDOOR & CONFINED SPACES
Through doorways, down hallways, inside arenas and warehouses. FPV thrives where traditional drones can't operate — indoors is FPV's home turf.
AUTOMOTIVE & MOTORSPORTS
Pace cars, drift sequences, side-by-side racing. With our §107.145 waiver we legally fly alongside moving vehicles at highway speeds.
LIVE EVENTS & CONCERTS
Broadcast-ready FPV through crowds, over stages and around performers. Our §107.39 flight-over-people waiver keeps events legal, safe and spectacular.
MUSIC VIDEOS
Cinematic chaos and choreographed precision in the same rig. Sub-250g FPV rigs go places no camera operator can reach, for visuals audiences have never seen.
SPORTS & ACTION
Athlete follow shots, stadium flybys, sideline action. FPV matches athletes at full speed and gets closer than any camera operator safely could.
TOURISM & HOSPITALITY
Hotel and resort walkthroughs that feel cinematic from the first frame. FPV moves through spaces the way a guest's eyes do — fluidly, curiously, memorably.

FPV Drone Frequently Asked Questions
-
FPV (First Person View) drones are custom-built aircraft designed for speed and agility — capable of exceeding 100mph and navigating spaces impossible for traditional camera drones. Unlike stabilized cinema drones, FPV rigs are manually piloted for a raw, immersive aesthetic. They can fly indoors, through tight gaps, alongside moving vehicles, and at extreme angles that no other aerial platform can match.
-
Our custom FPV rigs carry the RED Komodo 6K cinema camera (with global shutter for clean high-speed footage), the Freefly Ember high-speed camera (up to 800fps), and GoPro action cameras for micro-rig applications. Camera selection depends on the resolution, aesthetic, and frame rate your project requires.
-
Yes. All of our FPV pilots hold FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificates. We additionally hold special waivers for night operations, flight over people, and operation over moving vehicles — all commonly required on commercial film and TV sets.
-
Yes — indoor and confined-space flying is one of FPV's biggest advantages over traditional drones. Our pilots regularly fly through doorways, down corridors, inside arenas, through crowds, and in environments where larger drones simply cannot operate safely.
-
Yes. All operations are covered by a $10 million worldwide aviation liability policy covering both liability and physical damage to aircraft and camera equipment. Certificates of insurance can be issued within hours of booking and meet the requirements of all major domestic and international studios and broadcasters.
