Covington
FPV drone pilot in Covington
We fly FPV and small cinewhoop drones in Covington for film and TV production work, square fly-throughs, premieres and brand films. 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 Covington, GA drone videographer page. Our headquarters is in Augusta, so Georgia shoots are planned by our home crew.
Productions in Newton County
For productions working in Newton County we provide licensed aerial units for establishing shots, chase work and B-roll, with FAA waivers and insurance certificates in place before the first day. For live event coverage see our Covington, GA live event drones page. See FPV drones for live broadcast, Indoor arena FPV drones and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US.
The courthouse square
Covington's courthouse square, with the 1884 Newton County courthouse and its clock tower, has stood in for fictional towns on screen, most famously Mystic Falls in The Vampire Diaries. We film the square for tourism, businesses and events, and for interiors an indoor one-take fly-through shows the room the way a guest sees it. 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.
Airspace
Covington Municipal Airport, a few miles from the square, has no control tower. We check every Covington location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.
Georgia drone law
Georgia law makes it a misdemeanor to fly within 400 feet of or above a gated, ticketed music, sports or performing arts event without consent from whoever has authority over the event, with an exception for FAA-authorized operators flying lawfully. We get the organizer's consent in writing anyway, because the venue and promoter control launch spots and crowd areas. State law limits how far cities and counties can write their own drone rules, but event permits, venue contracts and property owners still decide where a crew can launch, so we plan around all three.

FAQs
Can you fly FPV for a production in Covington?
Yes. We fly establishing shots, chase work and B-roll, and provide FAA waivers and insurance certificates before production starts.
Can you film events on the square?
Yes, with city and business approval where it is needed, and with flight paths that keep clear of crowds unless our waivers allow otherwise.
Can you film a ticketed show in Covington?
Yes, with the organizer's consent. Georgia law bars drone flights within 400 feet of a gated ticketed event without it, so we get written consent first.
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.
