Frequently asked questions

Event drone coverage FAQ

How do you safely film crowds at outdoor events and festivals?

Safety always comes first. Rather than hovering directly over dense open-air assemblies of people, we establish dedicated takeoff zones and fly perimeter corridors and elevated oblique angles that capture the full scale of the crowd and venue in complete compliance with FAA Part 107 regulations.

Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for our venue or municipality?

Yes. Ocean State Drone Company carries $1,000,000 in commercial aviation liability insurance and can provide a COI naming your event organization, venue, or municipality prior to event day.

How quickly can we get photos or video clips after our event?

We know post-event momentum matters. Still photos and raw footage can often be delivered within 24–48 hours (including same-day or next-day selects for press and social media when arranged in advance), with edited highlight reels delivered shortly after.

Can we book raw aerial footage for our own video team, or a complete edited highlight reel?

Both! We frequently partner with event production teams and agencies to supply 4K aerial B-roll, or we can handle the entire edit in-house and deliver a finished highlight video set to licensed music.

Do you also film indoor venues, stadiums, or pre-event setups?

Yes. In addition to outdoor aerial coverage, we offer smooth FPV-style indoor drone tours for arenas, convention centers, banquet halls, and hospitality venues before doors open.
