Cary
FPV drone pilot in Cary
We fly FPV and small cinewhoop drones in Cary for corporate campus fly-throughs, office and lobby tours, new community films 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 Cary, NC drone videographer page.
Corporate campuses
Our crew filmed aerials of The Independent, the Austin tower known as the Jenga building, for Science Channel's Impossible Engineering. Cary's corporate campuses, including SAS, and the office parks along the I-40 corridor suit FPV architecture and recruiting films, flown 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.
New communities and events
New neighborhoods across Cary, Apex and Morrisville suit amenity and model home fly-throughs, filmed from private property with permission. 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. See FPV drones for live broadcast, Indoor arena FPV drones and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US. For event coverage see Cary, NC live event drones.
Airspace and North Carolina rules
Raleigh-Durham International sits just north of Cary and Morrisville, so many addresses are in its Class C airspace and need LAANC. We check every Cary location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.North Carolina no longer requires a separate state permit for commercial drone pilots, since the state law requiring one was repealed effective December 1, 2024, so FAA Part 107 certification is the credential that counts.
