How do Drone Light Shows Work?
What happens if it rains? Can you fly drones in the rain?
The pilot in charge (PIC) is the final decision maker for flight conditions and will prioritize safety first. In general, conditions should be clear in order to optimize for a great audience viewing experience, however we have flown in light to medium rain with success
What is the weight and wind capacity? For wind does that include strong gusts or constant flow?
We can perform in up to 30 miles an hour wind speeds
How high can your drones fly?
The answer differs by country and depends on the regulation set by the aviation authorities. In the US, the height is 400 feet above ground level. If it is necessary to fly higher to optimize viewing for the audience or to avoid obstruction, we can look into applying for some waivers or exceptions. We have flow up to 1,000 feet, or just over 300 meters.
How safe is a drone light show, what happens if a drone flies away?
For our drones we have secondary control channel on RC to take over it manually if it does not respond on commands from Show control console.
It is very simple to take control of one drone or multiple and land them safely while the rest of the show moves forward.

We know it probably is your first time with drones and we want to make it simple, creative and fun for you to work with us.
When we work with clients on a drone light show, we create storyboards to showcase the flow of the drone light show. Our team usually starts with a music sound track and then through creative meetings our artists create detailed storyboard frames showing the flow of the drone light show
We then create a sample video that combines the music and storyboard frames into a sample of your specific custom drone light show. In working this way, you and your team or your own clients can have as much creative control prior to the actual programming of the drone light show itself.
Once the music, and art work is done, our programmers go into a computer to create the model for your show prior to the programming of the drones themselves. In every step of the way you as a client are able to see and make changes prior to programming the drones themselves.
- We prefer to have 8 weeks of prep for your show for a custom show
- We can do a stock show in 2-4 weeks
