Arlington
FPV drone pilot in Arlington
We fly FPV and small cinewhoop drones in Arlington for stadium and ballpark content, venue fly-throughs, concerts and brand launches. FPV adds close, fast, continuous moves that a standard camera drone cannot get, flown by pilots who rehearse each line first. For general aerials, homes and events see our Arlington, TX drone videographer page.
Stadiums and ballparks
Our crew flew live drone feeds for TV and the video board for the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field are on the FAA stadium list, so the 3 nautical mile flight restriction applies from an hour before to an hour after covered events. Indoor and suite fly-throughs are flown only with the venue's approval. See FPV drones for live broadcast, Indoor arena FPV drones and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US. For event coverage see Arlington, TX live event drones.
The entertainment district
The entertainment district, hotels and restaurants suit one-take fly-throughs with the owner's approval. Fully enclosed indoor flights are generally outside FAA airspace rules, so we fly one-take fly-throughs with the owner's approval; see indoor fly-through tours. Flying directly over an open crowd is only allowed when the drone and the operation meet FAA rules for flying over people, so otherwise we keep flight paths over the stage, closed areas and open lanes.
Texas drone law
Texas law makes it an offense to fly at or below 400 feet over a sports venue with 30,000 or more seats unless an exception applies, such as a commercial flight that follows FAA rules or the venue's prior written consent, so we work with the venue on every stadium event. Texas law also covers fenced or posted critical infrastructure, such as refineries, power plants, water plants, ports and rail yards, at or below 400 feet, with the same kinds of exceptions, so we get the owner's written consent or keep those sites out of the flight path. Texas bars cities and counties from regulating drones except during permitted special events, for their own drone use, or near their own facilities with FAA approval, so we check festival and parade rules with the organizer and the city.
Airspace
Much of Arlington sits under Dallas-Fort Worth Class B airspace, so many addresses need LAANC. We check every Arlington location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.

FAQs
Does Texas law limit drones over big stadiums?
Yes. Flying at or below 400 feet over a sports venue with 30,000 or more seats is an offense unless an exception applies, such as an FAA-compliant commercial flight or the venue's written consent.
Can you fly FPV inside the Arlington stadiums?
Only with the venue's approval and a flight plan agreed with production, security and lighting.
Can a Texas city set drone rules for a festival?
Yes, for permitted special events. Otherwise state law bars cities and counties from regulating drones, so we check event rules with the organizer and the city.
Can FPV footage go live to a stream or screens?
Yes. We send live FPV video to the stream, LED screens or a broadcast truck, and agree the format with your production team before the event.
What insurance do you carry?
Our standard policy is $10M liability, with optional coverage up to $25M when a venue, league or network requires it. Certificates naming your venue or production are issued before the shoot.
