Newark
FPV drone pilot in Newark
We fly FPV and small cinewhoop drones in Newark for concert FPV, arena and venue fly-throughs, stadium content 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 Newark, NJ drone videographer page.
Concerts and arenas
Our crew flew aerials for the All Things Go Music Festival at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens. Newark arenas, theaters and festivals suit close FPV inside the venue's production plan. 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. 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.
Stadium content
MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford 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 fly stadium content only inside an approved production.
Class B airspace and federal sites
Newark Liberty International, about 3 miles south of downtown Newark, has Class B airspace, and Teterboro's control tower covers more of North Jersey, so most Newark and Jersey City addresses need LAANC or other FAA authorization. The Statue of Liberty, across the harbor from Jersey City, is a federal no-drone area around the clock. We check every Newark 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.

FAQs
Can you fly FPV inside a Newark arena?
Yes, with the venue's approval and a flight plan agreed with production, security and lighting.
Can you fly at MetLife Stadium on event days?
Not inside the FAA stadium flight restriction, which covers 3 nautical miles from an hour before to an hour after covered events, unless we are part of the approved production.
Do Newark FPV shoots need FAA authorization?
Outdoors, almost always. Newark Liberty's Class B airspace covers the city, so we file LAANC 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.
