Hartford, CT Live Event and Concert Drones

Live event drones in Hartford

This page is for event producers, promoters and venues planning a live event in Hartford. We fly concerts, festivals, parades, arena shows, races and brand activations, with drone feeds sent live to screens, the stream or a broadcast truck, plus fast edits for social. For homes, tourism and general aerials see our Hartford, CT drone videographer page.

Golf tournaments

Our crew flew live broadcast drone work for the T-Mobile 5G Range Show at the 2024 PGA Championship. Tournaments and corporate golf events around Hartford suit the same live coverage, flown inside the tournament's production plan. See Live drone feeds for video boards and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US.

Game days and concerts

Pratt and Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford is on the FAA stadium list, so the 3 nautical mile flight restriction applies from an hour before to an hour after covered events. Arena shows and downtown concerts are flown with the venue's approval. 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.

Federal sites and airspace

The Bradley Air National Guard Base at Bradley International is a federal no-drone area around the clock. Bradley International has Class C airspace, and Hartford-Brainard Airport, about 3 miles southeast of downtown, has its own control tower, so many Hartford addresses need LAANC. We check every Hartford location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.

Permits

We confirm local permits, venue rules and airspace authorizations before every job.
