Live event drones in Summerville

Flowertown and downtown
Our crew flew live drone feeds for TV and the video board for the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. The Flowertown Festival fills Main Street and Azalea Park each spring, and downtown Summerville's shops and restaurants suit short promos. We film events with the city and organizers on board. For festivals, concerts and community events we film recaps, and for larger shows we send live drone feeds to the stream or screens. See Live drone feeds for video boards and Concert and festival FPV drones across the US.
New communities and venues
Summerville is one of the fastest-growing parts of the Charleston region, and master-planned communities and builders hold openings and amenity-center events. Inns, venues and restaurants suit one continuous micro-drone flight planned with the property. 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.
Airspace
Summerville Airport, about five miles northwest of town, has no control tower, but Charleston International's controlled airspace is to the southeast and Joint Base Charleston's Naval Weapons Station, a federal no-drone area, is to the east. South Carolina's Act 150, set to take effect January 1, 2027, makes it a crime to knowingly fly within 1,500 feet of a military installation or a prison or jail without written permission, so we plan routes around those sites. We check every Summerville 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.
