Hattiesburg, MS FPV Drone Pilot and Operator

FPV drone pilot in Hattiesburg

We fly FPV and small cinewhoop drones in Hattiesburg for college game day content, hospital and venue fly-throughs, recruiting 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 Hattiesburg, MS drone videographer page.

Southern Miss and game days

Our crew filmed aerials of The Independent, the Austin tower known as the Jenga building, for Science Channel's Impossible Engineering. M.M. Roberts 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 the university's approval before any flight on campus. See FPV drones for live broadcast, Indoor arena FPV drones and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US. For event coverage see Hattiesburg, MS live event drones.

Downtown and the Pine Belt

Downtown Hattiesburg, the medical district, Petal, the Longleaf Trace and new communities suit brand, recruiting and real estate films, filmed with the owner's approval. We keep neighbors and people on private property out of frame unless they agree to be filmed. 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.

Camp Shelby and airspace

Camp Shelby, south of the city in Forrest County, is a federal no-drone area. For jobs toward Meridian, NAS Meridian and Key Field are federal no-drone areas too. Hattiesburg Bobby L. Chain Municipal, about 4 miles southeast of downtown, and Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional to the north have no control towers. We confirm local permits, venue rules and airspace authorizations before every job. We check every Hattiesburg location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.

FAQs

Can you fly FPV near M.M. Roberts Stadium on game days?

Not inside the FAA stadium flight restriction, which covers 3 nautical miles from an hour before to an hour after covered events. We schedule nearby shoots outside that window.

Can you fly near Camp Shelby?

No. Camp Shelby is a federal no-drone area, and we plan routes well clear of it.

Do you need FAA approval to fly in Hattiesburg?

It depends on the address. The Hattiesburg airports have no control towers. We check every location on the FAA sectional and B4UFLY before quoting and file LAANC where it is needed.

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.
