“AWESOME job done by a team of true professionals. We shot cars, horses, landscape, and architecture. They were always ready and ambitiously prepared for any scenario, recommending and executing the most dramatic drone moves without ego or pretense. Producing this job required troubleshooting multiple logistical, financial, and creative challenges but I never once worried about the drone team – and would work with them again in a heartbeat.”

“I was looking for a drone operator to take night shots of a shopping center in Brooklyn, NY we just lit with new LED lights and came across the Xizmo Media website. Working with Ed and Pablo was very easy and to the point. For a busy guy like me, they were the perfect company to work with in getting the job done right and done quickly. I reached out to them on a Friday and they responded immediately and had drone pictures and video to me by Sunday night for my Tuesday meeting. If I had to work with anyone, I would work with Xizmo Media for these types of jobs. They were truly a professional company to work with at an affordable price and I will definitely be using them again!”

David Fried

“We Highly recommend Xizmo Media for all your filming needs. Super professional and the quality of work is impeccable. We are definitely using Xizmo Media for our next production project!”

Derka Abbate, Producer @ Chica Productions

“I’ve used Xizmo two times for some very high profile high fashion clients and they have been brilliant! Edward is an incredible FAA pilot and I’ve been stoked on the content he has been able to capture in both New York City & Miami. I love working with Pablo & the team and look forward to working with them again soon! Highly highly recommended.”

“The Xizmo Media team was extremely professional, flexible and reactive. Despite tricky shoot conditions they were able to deliver quality drone footage with personality. We will definitely work with them again.”

Romain Thomassin, Director @ Saturated Productions

I contacted Eddie after working with Xizmo on the Hard Road Pictures gig (mentioned below). He went the extra mile to be sure that we got the shots that we needed, even bringing in a Ronin and backup equipment in case we wanted to use it. Once in the air, Eddie got all of the shots we wanted and more, taking direction well and translating our shot description and wants into aerial maneuvers that looked great. He also came up with the ideas of his own that we didn’t conceive, and those shots added a lot of value too. Highly recommend pilot and aerial cinemaphotographer that will get you more shots than you can use in your edits. Thanks guys!

Chad Owen

“Xizmo came through for me on a last second shoot and handled themselves like pros. I felt fully confident during the shoot that everything was going smoothly. Because of Xizmo our local commercial got great visuals no other drone operator I spoke to in NY was comfortable shooting. These guys are the real deal and I’ve already recommended them to my film associates.”

Jared Cleary

“We have worked with Xizmo Media on more than one occasion to obtain drone footage for projects that were absolutely mission-critical to our organization’s work. The level of skill and professionalism has always been consistently phenomenal. The team goes above and beyond—literally and in every other way to delivery an outstanding result. There is no better drone video company in New York City. Period.”

Otto Starzmann, The River Fund

“We entrusted the team from Xizmo Media to be our aerial eyes in Nicaragua for “Volcano Live: Nik Wallenda”. From Promos to LIVE show their master drone pilots, camera operators and spotters were 100% professional. It was an incredible experience. And the team from Xizmo made it very special. Thank you!”

Gayle Depoli, Production Manager

“We worked with Xizmo to get amazing aerial scenic shots. They are first class professionals and would recommend them to everyone.”

Griffin Glatt

“Xizmo Media was incredible to work with during our recent show in Nicaragua! Pablo, Edward and the team were incredibly professional and highly skilled at capturing drone footage. Can’t wait to work with them again.”

“Have done quite a bit of business with Xizmo, and I have nothing but great things to say. Professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Pro industry grade work for a lot less than Hollywood $$.”

LPedrero

“Pablo and his team at Xizmo media are incredible!

Not only are they good at their craft, they are also very responsive and thorough. They were very helpful with safety and clearance issues. They are well versed in FAA guidelines and permits.
They helped me execute the shot I had in mind and also offered additional options while in flight.
I would definitely call them again.”

Christine NG, Director of Photography

“Their advice and experience on set was invaluable. Great to work with. Would definitely recommend.”

Miles Hartwell, Splinter Works

I decided to work with Eddie because of his great reel & great communication. After the first shoot I was very happy with his work ethic, pleased with his character and very impressed with the footage. He showed up early. He executed every shot I asked for and suggested some of the best shots of the day as well. He was able to get very complex shots quickly helping us get all the footage needed in just 2 days instead of 3, saving us money and time. He was pleasant to deal with. I am grateful to have found a consistently reliable drone operator as well as a creative partner with a great eye and ear. Eddie has a combination of character traits and skills that are hard to find, but necessary in every aerial video production.

Maksim Brenner

“Eddie had the most professional response with the best reel. On shoot day Eddie exceeded my expectations with attention to detail, professionalism, compassion for the project and enthusiasm to deliver an outstanding job. Eddie arrived 30 minutes early to test the drone and suss out the area. He did an amazing job. And he delivered the footage the next day. I’m looking forward to seeing more from this company in the future.”

Ant White

“Eddie and Pablo were a dream team for our project. We had visions of a continuous 3-minute-long drone shot giving our viewers a behind-the-scenes look of the last 3 minutes of production before the start of ABC’s The View. There’s just one hitch: it meant flying through 15 spaces split between three floors, with incredible hairpin turns and acrobatics to fly under, over and around people, set pieces and other obstacles. The logical thing to do, in the hands of a less skilled team, would be to scale down the project into something “reasonable” and manageable. With a staff of 100 and another 150 audience members involved, we fully expected our dream to be minimized and broken into pieces to keep from needing dozens of takes. But Eddie and Pablo did multiple site surveys and test runs to make sure they could fly the path to perfection without technical interruptions. Even on the day of the shoot, many people suggested scaling back the project with the belief that it was an impossible feat. But the team at Xizmo proved them wrong. The end result is a masterpiece of drone piloting and a technological wonder. From start to finish, Eddie, Pablo and their team were amazing partners and they far exceeded our expectations. We could not be more proud of the project and more impressed by the Xizmo Media team.”

Rick Segal, Producer @ The View

“Working with Ed and Pablo from Xizmo for a project with TRIBECA DIGITAL STUDIOS was a blessing! They are very intelligent and insightful when it comes to getting the shot and the feeling you, as the director, are trying to capture. They are helpful and dependable; it was easy to communicate and execute the best product possible. On our first flight we experienced some weather conditions and they graciously scheduled another shoot day free of charge – just goes to show that they care and are passionate about producing the best-looking product possible. I will most definitely work with them again very soon. Best drone operators in town!”

Sebastian Rea

Integrated well with the technical team . Total professionals with great positive can do attitude even when facing multiple challenges . Look forward to working with Xizmo again in the future”

Faruna Sanoon, Producer @ ABC News

“I had a last-minute project that needed an efficient and creative execution – Edward from Xizmo was always clear, reliable, and easy-going before, during, and after production. Not only does he have an artistic eye but is also an experienced drone operator. He strived to satisfy my shortlist, but also contributed further recommendations and options that proved to be very fruitful. I can’t wait to work with him in the future.”

“I worked with the Xizmo Media team on a complicated LIVE broadcast from Iguazú Falls in South America. Already an extraordinarily beautiful location but Eddie & Pablo truly brought it to life and captured footage that surpassed my wildest dream. On top of their professionalism and passion for the project, they were a joy to work with every single day. I would highly recommend this incredible aerial cinematography team!”

Sandra Aiken, Senior Producer ABC Good Morning America

As Queens College alumni, Pablo and Ed exemplify what it means to be hard working, talented, self-starters, who offer a one-of-a-kind professional service that you won’t find anywhere in the city. We partnered with Xizmo Media to create an aerial video of the Queens College campus and the surrounding borough to provide prospective students who weren’t able to visit the college, a way to see the campus and the community that we live in. Pablo and Ed went out of their way shooting all aspects of the campus – from external shots of our 80-acre campus to interior shots of our auditorium and sports facilities. They then went out onto the streets of Queens and shot everything from Mets Stadium to downtown Flushing to Long Island City. The video they produced was first class! I highly recommend them!

Steve Whalen

“I’ve worked with Xizmo on multiple network TV shoots now and no matter what ask of them they always deliver. They’re smart, creative, quick, efficient and safe! Really appreciated their understanding of our needs.”

Brian Hartman, Producer @ ABC

“The Xizmo guys have come out to our drifting events a few times in the past two years and run the most professional UAV video crew I have seen. They are great at getting the best shots and take direction very well. They have filmed multiple events without issue. Other videographers who shoot for Club Loose have collaborated with Xizmo and produced amazing work. I highly recommend working with them.”

Club Loose

“Eddie and Xizmo have always overdelivered with drone and land cinematography on numerous occasions for Daybreaker. He has an unrivaled eye and a way of reading my mind that makes it very easy to creative direct. He’s helped source filmmakers in far off international destinations that also over delivered.”

Eli Clark-Davis, Director @ DayBreaker

“Lovely to work with, incredibly professional and delivered a seamless shoot!”

Tim Patch, Production Manager @ Daybreaker

“We worked with Xizmo to get aerial footage for our drone program whistleblower documentary NATIONAL BIRD. We had very specific requests as to the look, and Ed and Pablo were nothing but accommodating. They understood what we were going for and were always forthcoming about their restriction due to regulation and weather conditions. It was a pleasure working with them and we highly recommend them to other independent filmmakers.”

Ten Forward Films

“I discovered Xizmo in 2014 when looking for a drone operator in NYC. I booked Xizmo and had a great experience. The equipment and the knowledge they bring to the shoot makes working with Xizmo effortless. I have since worked with Xizmo on several projects in NYC and I look forward to further projects together.”

I also love that they always are up on the latest, most cutting edge technology, so I know my finished product will be one that will really get people talking! I can’t recommend Xizmo Media enough!”
