Macon, GA FPV Drone Pilot
Air Views Media flies FPV drones in Macon for concerts, historic venues, sports, brands and live broadcasts. Our crew flew drones for the Vans Warped Tour's Prime Video live broadcast in Long Beach and Orlando, with content teams shooting in parallel. FAA Part 107 certified pilots carry $10M liability standard (optional up to $25M).
Music city FPV
Macon is where the Allman Brothers Band, Otis Redding and Little Richard started, and its venues still carry that history. A one-take FPV flight through the Grand Opera House, the Big House or a downtown bar shows the room the way a visitor feels it. Our micro FPV drones are built for indoor flight near people; see what a one-take fly-through is.
The amphitheater and the river
Atrium Health Amphitheater, next to the Macon Centreplex, holds up to 10,000. FPV can sweep from the lawn to the stage for IMAG or LED screens, or follow a runner on the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail for a brand piece. For live shows the feed goes to the truck or switcher like any other camera; see FPV for live broadcast and FPV for concerts and festivals.
Mercer and Macon sports
Mercer football at Five Star Stadium, Macon Bacon baseball at Luther Williams Field and Macon Mayhem hockey at the Macon Coliseum all give game-day content a home. We send live drone feeds to video boards, as we did inside Truist Park for the Braves; see stadium video-board feeds.
Cars, trails and moving shots
FPV chases suit dealerships, car clubs and outdoor brands. Our FAA waivers include operations from and over moving vehicles, so we can follow a car on a closed or controlled route, then lift out over the trees at the end of the run.
Airspace in Macon
Middle Georgia Regional Airport has Class D airspace while its tower is open, Robins Air Force Base's airspace sits to the south, and drones can't be launched in Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park. We check every address against FAA data and NOTAMs and file LAANC or an FAA authorization before the date.

FAQs
Can you fly FPV inside the Grand Opera House or another historic venue?
Yes, with the owner's approval. Our micro FPV drones are built for indoor flight, and we've flown historic sites including Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest and the USS Yorktown.
Can live FPV go to the amphitheater's screens?
Yes. We hand live FPV to the truck, switcher, LED wall or IMAG, the same workflow we use for stadium video boards.
Can you chase a car with FPV in Macon?
Yes, on a closed or controlled route. Our FAA waivers include operations from and over moving vehicles.
When is the best time to film the cherry blossoms?
The International Cherry Blossom Festival is held in March, and the bloom itself depends on the weather, so we hold flexible dates and fly early or late for the best light.
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.
