Wichita drone videography
We fly arena shows, riverfront festivals, campuses, aviation and manufacturing sites, construction progress and real estate across Wichita. For concerts and festivals 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.
Eisenhower National and McConnell
Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport sits under Class C airspace west of downtown. McConnell Air Force Base southeast of the city is a no-drone zone on and around the installation, so we plan east-side shoots well clear of the base. We check every Wichita location on the FAA sectional, B4UFLY and NOTAMs before quoting, and file LAANC or FAA authorization for any address that needs it.
INTRUST Bank Arena and Riverfest
Inside INTRUST Bank Arena and other venues we fly small drones 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. For outdoor festivals along the Arkansas River we coordinate with the organizer and check for any temporary flight restriction before the event.
Kansas state parks and the Flint Hills
Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks rules do not allow drones at state parks, wildlife areas or other department property, and a violation is a misdemeanor. That covers Cheney and El Dorado state parks near Wichita. Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in the Flint Hills is National Park Service land, where launching or landing a drone is prohibited without the superintendent's written approval. Kansas law also covers stalking and harassment with a drone near someone's home.
