Eugene, OR FPV Drone Pilot and Operator

FPV drone pilot in Eugene

We fly FPV and small cinewhoop drones in Eugene for arena and track content, game days, venue and office fly-throughs 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 Eugene, OR drone videographer page.

Matthew Knight Arena and venues

Our crew flew drones inside Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle to film Paramore's 2023 show. Inside Matthew Knight Arena we fly small drones with the venue'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.

Autzen Stadium and Hayward Field

Autzen Stadium is on the FAA stadium list, so the 3 nautical mile flight restriction applies from an hour before to an hour after covered events. We get University of Oregon approval before flying Hayward Field or any campus venue. 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 Eugene, OR live event drones.

Airspace and parks

Eugene Airport, Mahlon Sweet Field, northwest of the city has a control tower and Class D airspace during tower hours. Oregon State Parks and the ocean shore are closed to drones except at designated drone operation sites or with a special use permit. We check every Eugene location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it. We confirm local permits, venue rules and airspace authorizations before every job.
