Frequently Asked Questions

Is flying an FPV drone indoors safe?

Yes—when done correctly.
Indoor FPV flights are performed using small, lightweight drones with fully enclosed propellers, flown at controlled speeds. Every shoot includes a pre-flight walkthrough, obstacle mapping, and a defined flight path to minimize risk. For commercial spaces, we coordinate timing to avoid staff or guests when required.

Do people need to be out of the building during the shoot?

Not always.
For residential properties, the space is typically empty. For commercial spaces (restaurants, hotels, gyms), we can film during off-hours or with limited staff present, depending on layout and client preference. Safety always dictates the approach.

How is this different from a standard real estate video or Matterport tour?

FPV tours show flow, not just rooms.
Unlike cut-based videos or static 3D scans, an FPV tour is a continuous, immersive flight that mirrors how a person actually moves through a space. The result feels more natural, more engaging, and holds viewer attention significantly longer—especially on listing pages and social media.

What types of properties work best for FPV indoor tours?

  • Restaurants and bars

     

  • Hotels and short-term rentals

     

  • Commercial and retail spaces

What happens if something goes wrong during the flight?

We plan to prevent that—but we’re insured just in case.
