Columbus, GA FPV Drone Pilot
Air Views Media flies FPV drones in Columbus for river sports, Uptown venues, brands and live broadcasts, with Blue UAS drones available for secure sites. Our crew flew live FPV to the interior screen of the Sphere in Las Vegas. FAA Part 107 certified pilots carry $10M liability standard (optional up to $25M).
FPV on the whitewater
The urban whitewater course on the Chattahoochee is made for FPV: a drone a few feet off the water, chasing a raft into a rapid and lifting out as it drops. We plan each run with the outfitter, keep the drone over the river and clear of anyone who isn't part of the shoot, and fly the wide shots with a cinema drone from the bank.
Uptown in one take
A one-take FPV flight can start on Broadway, slip through the doors of a restaurant or the Springer Opera House and finish on the stage. It's a strong format for venues, hotels and Uptown businesses, flown on micro FPV drones built for flying near people; see indoor fly-through tours.
Stadium and arena feeds
A.J. McClung Memorial Stadium and the Columbus Civic Center, home of Columbus River Dragons hockey, can take a live FPV feed on the video board or the stream. We fly a COFDM transmitter on a micro FPV drone with a PROTON 4K FLEX camera shaded from the truck through Cyanview RCP; see FPV for live broadcast and stadium video-board feeds.
Blue UAS and secure sites
Near Fort Benning, defense contractors and federal sites often require a US-compliant aircraft. We offer the Skydio X10 with the VT300-Z camera system, and we have experience with Special Governmental Interest authorizations and VIP TFRs; see FAA waiver consulting.
Airspace in Columbus
Columbus Airport has Class D airspace while its tower is open, and restricted areas cover much of Fort Benning to the south. We check every address against FAA data and NOTAMs, file LAANC or an FAA authorization, and fly over people only where our waivers and the venue allow it.

Yes, on planned runs with the outfitter's approval. We keep the drone over the water and clear of people who aren't part of the shoot.
Can you send a live FPV feed to a video board in Columbus?
Yes. We've sent live drone feeds to stadium video boards for the Atlanta Braves and Mississippi State football.
Do you fly Blue UAS drones?
Yes. Skydio X10 drones with the VT300-Z camera system are available for military, federal and other secure sites that require a US-compliant aircraft.
Can you fly indoors at the Springer or the RiverCenter?
