Oklahoma City, OK Drone Videographer and Operator

Arenas and game days

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, and indoor arena shows suit the same approach 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. Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman is on the FAA stadium list, so the 3 nautical mile flight restriction applies from an hour before to an hour after covered events. For concerts, festivals and games we film recaps, and for larger shows we send live drone feeds to the stream or screens; see live broadcast drones and concert and festival drones.

Critical infrastructure and parks

Oklahoma law bars flying a drone below 400 feet over fenced or posted critical infrastructure, such as refineries, substations, water plants, pipelines, rail yards and towers, unless the operator is FAA-authorized for that airspace or has the owner's written consent, and a 2026 law that took effect November 1, 2026 adds criminal penalties. We get the owner's written consent before filming energy and industrial sites. Oklahoma State Parks require a permit for drone use, applied for through the park manager at least 30 days ahead, and flights are limited to areas the manager designates.

Tinker and federal sites

Tinker Air Force Base in Midwest City, the Will Rogers Air National Guard Base and the Federal Transfer Center at Will Rogers World Airport, and the federal prison in El Reno are federal no-drone areas around the clock. We keep neighbors and people on private property out of frame unless they agree to be filmed.

Airspace

Will Rogers World Airport, about 6 miles southwest of downtown, has Class C airspace, Wiley Post Airport on the northwest side has its own control tower, and Tinker has its own controlled airspace, so many Oklahoma City addresses need LAANC. We check every Oklahoma City 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 near Tinker Air Force Base?

No. Tinker Air Force Base is a federal no-drone area from the surface to 400 feet, so we plan Midwest City and east-side shoots well clear of it.

Can you film refineries or substations in Oklahoma?

Only with the owner's written consent or FAA authorization for that airspace. State law bars low flights over fenced or posted critical infrastructure, so we get written consent first.

Can you fly in Oklahoma state parks?

Only with a permit, applied for through the park manager at least 30 days ahead, and only in areas the manager designates.

Do you need FAA approval to fly in Oklahoma City?

It depends on the address. Will Rogers World Airport has Class C airspace, and Wiley Post Airport has a control tower. We check every location on the FAA sectional and B4UFLY before quoting and file LAANC where it is needed.

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.
