Behind the Scene

Go behind the scenes with Michael FPV — the rigs, the process, and the footage before it gets edited.

How We Work

Behind every shot.

Every project starts before we ever arrive on site. We review the location, check airspace, plan the flight path, and figure out which rig makes sense for the job. By the time we show up, we already know how we're going to shoot it.

On shoot day we typically run two passes — one to understand the space, one to capture it. Interior flythroughs are flown in first-person through goggles, usually 2–3 practice runs before we lock the final take. Exterior aerials happen alongside, timed around the light. Most shoots are wrapped in under two hours.

After the shoot, footage goes straight into edit — color graded, cut to scope, and delivered the same day for most real estate projects. The goal every time is footage that actually gets used, not footage that sits in a folder.

The Gear

What we fly.

This is our ducted cinewhoop. The cage around the propellers is the whole point — it lets the drone fly close to people, walls, and furniture without any risk, which a bare propeller could never do.

It's light, it's quiet, and it fits through doorways and between rows of chairs. That's what makes the indoor flythroughs possible: the camera can go where a full-size drone simply can't.

Ducted Cinewhoop

Built for tight spaces.

Our ducted cinewhoop is a small, fully enclosed FPV drone purpose-built for indoor use. The propeller guards keep it safe around people, furniture, and narrow doorways — letting us fly through spaces that standard drones simply can't enter. It moves at a natural walking pace through rooms, hallways, and staircases in a single unbroken take. No cuts. No resets. Just one continuous move from the front door through every room.

This is the drone responsible for the FPV flythroughs that make listings and venues look the way they actually feel to walk through.

DJI Drone

Built for altitude.

Our standard DJI drone handles everything outdoors — wide aerial shots, sweeping orbits around buildings, and smooth cinematic altitude footage. GPS-stabilized and whisper-quiet, it's the right tool for weddings, events, and any exterior property work where you need precision and silence.

Every real estate package and wedding shoot that includes exterior aerials runs on this rig. It captures angles no ground camera ever could.
