FPV Cinematography

FPV Cinematography

The shot that can't be cut — FPV drones that fly through windows, down stairwells and alongside cars at speed, all in a single unbroken take.

  • Single-take
  • High-speed chase
  • Proximity

FPV (first-person-view) cinematography is where Hammarstrom Aerial started, and it is still what people call us for first. An FPV drone flies where nothing else can — through a doorway, down a stairwell, under a moving car and back into the sky, without a single cut.

We run two kits. The small kit carries a GoPro 8–11 at up to 160 km/h and is light enough to fly indoors and through tight interiors. The large kit puts a full-frame Sony A7SIII, Fuji XT3 or RED Komodo in the air for cinema-grade FPV when the frame has to hold up on the big screen.

One continuous move, no edit

The signature FPV shot connects spaces that would normally need a cut — exterior to interior, floor to floor, ground to air — in one breath. It pulls an audience through a location and gives a sequence relentless momentum. We choreograph the move with the director, rehearse it, and fly it until it's perfect.

Chases, proximity and dive shots

For action and automotive, FPV keeps pace with vehicles and athletes through terrain a gimbal car can't follow, holding tight to the subject at speed. Proximity and dive shots skim surfaces, thread gaps and drop through vertical space with control — footage post-stabilised to a clean, cinematic finish.

Frequently asked

Can the FPV drone fly indoors?
Yes. The small GoPro kit is built for interiors and tight spaces — it flies through doorways, down stairwells and even through moving cars, then straight back outside in the same take.
Is FPV footage broadcast quality?
With the large kit it is. A full-frame Sony A7SIII or RED Komodo on the FPV rig, post-stabilised, gives you footage that holds up for features, commercials and broadcast.
