FPV is a class of drone that gives the pilot full manual control. This allows for acrobatic maneuvers that keep the audience engaged.

Whether you need to tour a commercial property and its features in minutes, give viewers an exciting new angle at an event, or showcase what you do and where you’re located without saying a word; FPV videography is an amazing tool to do it in style.

I do drone videography all across the PNW, mainly from Vancouver to Eugene, and from Bend to the Coast. I have different drones for different projects and environments, and over 2,000 hours of UAS flight experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why FPV?

Never before has it been so important to hook the viewer’s attention. FPV is an additional layer of capability and style. It allows for shots that would otherwise be impossible and creates more interest in shots by leveraging maneuvers that keep the audience’s attention, like flying through tight gaps or doorways.

What experience do you have in drones?

I’ve been Part 107 licensed for over 4 years with two ALC-677 certificates, working primarily for real estate agents, both private and agencies like Coldwell, EXP, and Blum. I’ve familiarized myself with every consumer-grade make and model of drone, built and repaired most, and continue to spend a lot of my free time flying and learning; pushing the limits in my off time so I know where they should be in any professional environment.

How do I get into FPV?

The best first step is to get a simulator on Steam. Some good options are Uncrashed, Liftoff, or TRPY. (Velocidrone on Windows for best physics) You will save yourself a lot of money crashing digital drones instead of real ones in the beginning. Second, buy an FPV controller like the Radiomaster Pocket. (Don’t get the cheapest radio controller you can find, you will hate your experience.) You can use this for the simulator to build muscle memory and later for your real drone. Third, once you’ve got the hang of it, buy a cheap BetaFPV analog drone and headset to go with your controller. Watch Joshua Bardwell on YouTube; he is the go-to on all things FPV.

What’s the difference between “FPV” and a regular “FlyCam” style drone?

A FlyCam is a steady flying drone that is not designed for acrobatic maneuvers. On the other hand, FPV is fully manual and allows the pilot full freedom of movement. This control allows for cinematic and dynamic shots like diving, not possible with a traditional FlyCam.

Are you setup to live steam?

We can currently port our HDMI into on-site production and lend our video feed. We are working to be independently streaming this Summer 2026. This includes multi-service internet connection, HUD overlay/logo, and live audience interaction.

How do you ensure your flights are safe around and over people?

We go through a meticulous pre-production checklist, surveying the event location both days and hours before any flights, noting all potential risks. We use Class 1 micro drones with 4k cameras that are under 100g (1/5th of a pound) and set up a small 8′ x 8′ area to safely take off, fly without distraction, and land without risk of people walking into the landing area.

What if there is an airport nearby?

We can easily account for airspace permissions days ahead, reach out to the proper authorities and get all the green lights before we fly. Whether indoors, outside, and most restricted spaces like near airports, prisons, and military bases; we’ve got it taken care of.
