FAQs
-
Drone shows are events where multiple drones are flown to create imagery in the sky. This imagery can also be synchronized with a soundtrack to captivate audiences with sight and sound. The drones are equipped with color-changing LED lights and shows typically occur during night or dusk so the LED lights are more visible.
-
We use drones that are specifically designed for drone light shows. These drones are designed with safety at top of mind, with extremely precise GPS units and multiple levels of failsafes. The drones use a Lithium-Ion battery.
-
Our shows can last as long as 15 minutes, depending mostly on weather conditions. Temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit can impact longevity of the batteries.
-
No. People not directly involved in running the show must be kept at a safe distance from the flight area.
-
Drone shows can be anywhere from 50ft all the way to 400ft off the ground. With additional FAA approval, shows can extend even higher than 400ft.
-
The shows can be visible up to four miles away.

It's recommended to book at least 30 days in advance, but it is possible with shorter notice. Please reach out to us and we can work with you.

The drones can fly in light mist or a couple rain drops, but we try to avoid flying in rain. The drones can fly in sustained winds up to 20mph. The Drone Pilot in Command will make the final determination on site if it's safe to fly.
When possible, we will work with the event to pre-identify a "rain date" if weather should call off the original day's flight.
-
We have the ability to fly a show of virtually any size, however, 100 drones is a great place to start.
-
The launchpad on the ground depends on the drone count. The launchpad for 100 drones can be as small as 40'x40'.
A safety zone is needed between the flight area and the spectators. This can be accomplished by barriers, cones, caution tape, natural barriers, or personnel. Each site is unique and will have its own requirements.
-
Drone shows provide a new and exciting element of nighttime entertainment. A drone show offers the unique ability to bring sponsors in as part of the performance by incorporating their logos into the show. This offers a huge benefit over a traditional fireworks show.
