LAANC Cleared for Metro Atlanta
Atlanta puts more productions on the ground than almost any other city in the country, and most of them eventually need something in the air. Xizmo Media’s Atlanta crew flies cinema grade drones, FPV rigs and ground based motion systems to the same standard our New York clients have relied on for over a decade, built for call sheets that move fast and locations that change by the day.
Aerial Production Services for Atlanta Productions
Drone Cinematography
Cinema camera drones for feature, episodic and commercial work, from establishing shots of the downtown skyline to tight reveals inside a soundstage build.
Aerial Video & Photo
High resolution stills and 4K video for real estate listings, corporate campaigns and brand shoots across the metro, delivered on production timelines.
FPV Drone Filming
Single take chase and dive sequences flown through tunnels, stairwells and tight interior sets, built for directors who want speed without a cut.
Live Broadcast Drone Coverage
Licensed operators who integrate directly with a broadcast truck and switcher for live sports, awards shows and festival coverage across Georgia.
Cable Cam, Agito & Motocrane
Ground based motion systems for locked, repeatable moves the drone can’t fly, useful indoors at a soundstage or wherever the shot needs to hold a precise line.
Drone Light Shows
Synchronized formation flights for brand launches, festivals and grand openings, choreographed and permitted for outdoor Atlanta venues.
Serving Atlanta's Film, TV and Commercial Productions
Georgia’s soundstage corridor, anchored by Trilith Studios, Pinewood Atlanta and EUE/Screen Gems, has made the metro one of the busiest production hubs in the country, earning it the nickname “Y’allywood.” Marvel Studios and Netflix have both built out long-term production infrastructure in the state, and the crews that support those shows expect aerial partners who already know how a call sheet works.
When a production needs a chase sequence through Krog Street Tunnel or a fast rooftop reveal over downtown, our FPV drone cinematography for film and TV team flies the same close quarters lines used on major sets, not a wide establishing shot dressed up as coverage. For productions anchored at a Georgia soundstage, our drone cinematography for film and TV productions covers everything from second unit aerials to full sequence capture.
Piedmont Park hosts a steady calendar of festivals, concerts and brand activations that need coverage from the air, and Stone Mountain Park’s open sightlines make it one of the better spots in the metro for a clean establishing shot of the mountain and the surrounding tree line. For live events and broadcasts built around moments like these, our live broadcast drone coverage team plugs into your truck and switcher so the aerial shot is part of the live feed, not a separate deliverable.
Where We Fly in Metro Atlanta
Most of central Atlanta sits inside controlled airspace tied to Hartsfield-Jackson, which means flights downtown, in Midtown and around Buckhead need LAANC authorization before the drone leaves the ground. We handle that clearance as part of every booking rather than treating it as an add-on.

- Buckhead
- Old Fourth Ward & Inman Park
- West Midtown
- Decatur & Avondale Estates
- Stone Mountain
- Sandy Springs
- Marietta & Smyrna
- Alpharetta & Roswell

Licensed, Insured and Ready for the Call Sheet
FAA Part 107
Every pilot on an Atlanta job carries an active FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate and handles LAANC airspace authorization before the shoot day.
Fully Insured
We carry the liability coverage productions, studios and property managers require and can supply a certificate of insurance ahead of the shoot.
Production Ready Gear
Cinema camera payloads, FPV rigs and ground based motion systems travel with backup bodies and batteries, so a single equipment issue never stalls the day.
Frequently Asked Questions About Atlanta Drone Services
Do you need FAA authorization to fly drones in Atlanta?
Yes. Most of downtown, Midtown and Buckhead sit inside controlled airspace tied to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, so a LAANC authorization is required before takeoff. We secure this clearance as part of every booking, not as a separate step you have to manage.
Can you fly near Hartsfield-Jackson or downtown high-rises?
We can, within the altitude and grid limits set by LAANC for that airspace. Some downtown blocks have lower ceilings than others, so we check the grid for your exact location before quoting the shot list.
What drone services do you offer for film and TV productions?
Drone cinematography, FPV filming, live broadcast integration and ground based motion systems including cable cam, Agito and Motocrane, for productions that need a shot the drone can’t fly indoors.
Do you provide live broadcast drone coverage for events?
Yes. Our operators integrate directly with a broadcast truck and switcher for live sports, awards shows, festivals and other events that need the aerial feed in real time rather than as edited footage delivered later.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For a standalone real estate or brand shoot, a few days is usually enough. For production days tied to a shooting schedule or a permitted event, book as soon as the date is locked so we can clear airspace and confirm gear in time.
Do you carry liability insurance for productions?
Yes, and we can provide a certificate of insurance naming your production, studio or venue before the shoot date if that’s a requirement for access.
What areas around Atlanta do you cover?
Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead, Old Fourth Ward, West Midtown, Decatur, Stone Mountain, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Alpharetta and the Trilith Studios corridor in Fayetteville, along with the surrounding metro on request.
