Fargo, ND FPV Drone Pilot and Operator

FPV drone pilot in Fargo

We fly FPV and small cinewhoop drones in Fargo for dome and arena fly-throughs, game day content, ag and corporate sites and real estate. 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 Fargo, ND drone videographer page.

The Fargodome and arenas

Our crew flew sub-100-gram livestream drones for UNITY at the Sphere in Las Vegas, with the live feed shown on its immersive screen. We fly Fargodome events, concerts, college sports, downtown festivals, ag and corporate sites, construction progress and real estate across Fargo and the Red River Valley. Inside the dome and other arenas 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. See FPV drones for live broadcast, Indoor arena FPV drones and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US. For event coverage see Fargo, ND live event drones.

Game days and state parks

For Fargodome concerts and North Dakota State game days we work with the venue and check for any temporary flight restriction before the event. North Dakota Parks and Recreation rules prohibit drones on department land for hobby, recreational or commercial use unless the director or deputy director authorizes the flight. We request that authorization before any park shoot. We keep neighbors and people on private property out of frame unless they agree to be filmed. 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.

Hector International and the Air Guard

Hector International has Class D airspace from the surface to 3,400 feet above sea level within about 4.4 miles of the airport, which takes in much of north Fargo. The North Dakota Air National Guard's wing is based at the airport. We check every Fargo location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.
