We’ve worked with some of the biggest festivals, organizations, and professional sports teams around, at many of the biggest venues and stadiums in the country to capture concerts, sporting events, private events, & major music festivals. Did you know we were the first, and ONLY drone team to have ever flown a drone around the President of the United States? That’s right, we worked very closely with the U.S. Secret Service, NYCPD & the FAA to receive the necessary authorizations to be approved to fly an FPV drone around President Trump during his epic entrance at UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden.
