NYC-based pilot. Racer at heart.
TrippFPV is a New York City based FPV drone pilot, racing pilot, FPV mentor, and solutions architect. Top ranked online sim racing pilot, known as the “Fastest Slowest Pilot.” Over 3,000 hours of simulator time and 1,000+ real-world flights, with 30+ drones in the fleet covering cinematic, freestyle, and racing setups.
One of the fastest pilots in NYC and the world, especially with 7"-12" heavy drones (15"-25" motor-to-motor footprint), with the long-term goal of flying heavy rigs under pressure with unmatched skills. Capture options include 4K with 10-bit color via GoPro 12 or DJI O4 Air Unit Pro. Background spans FPV freestyle, racing, simulator training, real-world technical flight, and chasing drifting cars at speed.
Specializes in indoor flights and high-impact aerial visuals. Sub-250g rigs in the fleet open up tight indoor sets, lower the regulatory footprint for non-commercial shoots, and make a wider range of locations realistic. Connected with the top racing, freestyle, and cinematic pilots all over the world, and active as a mentor for new FPV pilots.
Whether the project is a luxury property, private event, brand activation, music video, commercial campaign, or behind-the-scenes recap, the goal is always the same:
Create movement people remember.
The kit. The mindset.
Not just one drone, not just one technique. The fleet, the regulatory reach, and the network behind every flight.
Lighter rigs that fall under FAA's sub-250g class. Reduced registration footprint, easier indoor setups, and less paperwork on most non-commercial flights. (Indoor flight is exempt from FAA Part 107; outdoor paid commercial work is handled when required.)
Built for cinematic loads, sustained speed, and chasing fast subjects in any conditions. Prop sizes from 7" to 12" with 15" to 25" motor-to-motor footprints. One of the few NYC pilots flying heavy rigs at this level.
Tight indoor lines through venues, restaurants, lounges, retail, gyms, and abandoned spaces where most pilots will not go. Sub-250g rigs make this easier and safer.
Capture in 4K with 10-bit color depth via GoPro 12 or DJI O4 Air Unit Pro. More color information for grading, broadcast, and high-end commercial finishes.
Beam the FPV feed to displays at events in real time. The drone's video transmitter feeds an iPad on the ground, then AirPlay mirrors the shot to TVs, projectors, or stage screens. The crowd sees what the drone sees as it happens.
Active mentor in the FPV community. Coach for new pilots learning the simulator, freestyle, racing lines, indoor flight, and cinematic camera movement.
Active in the worldwide network of top racing, freestyle, and cinematic pilots. Sim racing leaderboards, IRL meets, and cross-collabs.
Outdoor paid commercial work in the US is run alongside an FAA Part 107 certified partner pilot, who provides the certification and liability coverage that venues, brands, and production teams require. Indoor flight is exempt from Part 107 and runs as standard.
Every rig in the fleet is built, tuned, and serviced in-house. A solutions architect background means custom electronics, custom firmware, and a deep understanding of every component on the drone.
One pilot. Every size of drone.
Sub-250g cinewhoops to 12" heavy rigs. The right tool gets picked per shoot, never the other way around.
The smallest rigs in the fleet. Squeezes into spots no other drone can fit. Comes in analog and lower-quality digital video formats. Ideal for tight props, niche reveals, and behind-the-scenes shots.
Ducted micro for the tightest indoor cinematic lines. Prop guards make it crowd-friendly. Falls under FAA's sub-250g class for a lighter regulatory footprint.
Bigger props than the 2.5" ducted cinewhoop, same sub-250g class. Sized for slightly larger interior spaces and longer lines. Still gentle on people and props, and still under FAA's 250g threshold.
The workhorse. Outdoor freestyle, event passes, brand work, fast lines, and tight chases. Punchy, agile, dependable.
Built to carry cinema-grade payloads at speed. Smooth long lines, chase work, and music-video sequences.
Top-end heavy rigs in the fleet. 10" props for sustained coverage with more lift; 12" with a 25" motor-to-motor footprint for the most demanding cinematic and drift-chase setups.
From racing pilot to cinematic operator.
The mindset of a technical pilot, the eye of a cinematic operator.
Top ranked online sim racing pilot, the “Fastest Slowest Pilot.” 3,000+ hours in the simulator built the muscle memory: smooth, fast, surgical control under pressure.
1,000+ IRL flights across freestyle, racing, and cinematic missions. Indoor lines, crowded venues, fast subjects, and 7" heavy rigs that most pilots will not touch.
From racing and freestyle to cinematic operator. Event recaps, venue fly-throughs, brand visuals, real estate, drift chases, and immersive one-take shots.
Traditional drone footage shows the scene.
FPV puts the viewer inside it.
FPV drones move through a space, chase action, dive through openings, orbit people, reveal rooms, and create impossible camera movement in one continuous flow. It gives brands, venues, events, and artists a visual style that feels more immersive, premium, and shareable.
For social media, FPV works because it stops the scroll.
What I shoot. Where I shine.
From one-take venue fly-throughs to drift chases and abandoned buildings, every flight is planned, scouted, and shot with cinematic intent.
Specialty: tight indoor lines through venues, restaurants, lounges, retail, gyms, offices, warehouses, showrooms, and private spaces.
High-energy cinematic movement for parties, pop-ups, concerts, brand activations, private events, and nightlife.
Planned FPV movement for campaigns, launches, products, restaurants, gyms, fashion, cannabis brands, and lifestyle.
Immersive walkthrough-style FPV content for listings, rentals, luxury spaces, and unique venues.
Dynamic chase-style movement, orbit shots, low passes, reveal shots, and drift-car chase content with 7" heavy rigs.
Fast, smooth, aggressive, surreal, or dreamlike FPV camera movement matched to the artist's energy.
Atmosphere-driven visuals for legal cannabis brands, dispensaries, events, lounges, products, and lifestyle campaigns.
Cinematic exploration of derelict spaces, factories, warehouses, and forgotten architecture. Tight indoor flight where most pilots will not go.
Boat chases, beach passes, sunrise / sunset coastal flight, and water-side reveals. Built for resorts, sailing brands, and lifestyle.
Pick the move. I’ll plan the flight.
Common cinematic FPV shots, named. Use them as a starting point, or just describe the vibe and I'll translate it into a flight plan.
A single uninterrupted move through a space. Entrance, hallway, room reveal, exit.
Crowd-safe sweep across the venue capturing peak energy, performers, sponsors, and atmosphere.
Tight orbit, dive, or rise revealing a product as the centerpiece of the frame.
Low, fast, dynamic movement following a drifting car at speed. Chase, side-by-side, fly-by.
Cinematic push-in or orbit on talent. The opening beat of a music video or recap.
Slow rise or pull-back that reveals a building, terrace, or property in scale and context.

Common questions, straight answers.
The things people ask before they book. If your question isn't here, the contact form below is the fastest way to get an answer.
Yes, indoor flight is the specialty. Sub-250g rigs make tight indoor lines through venues, restaurants, lounges, retail, gyms, offices, warehouses, and abandoned spaces realistic and safe. Indoor flight is also exempt from FAA Part 107.
The fine print, in plain language.
All FPV shoots require basic planning before flight. Indoor routes, crowd proximity, lighting, obstacles, reflective surfaces, wind, GPS limitations, RF interference, and property rules may affect what is possible on-site. Final flight paths are based on pilot discretion and safety.
Standard pricing includes organic social media and web usage. Paid ads, broadcast, large commercial campaigns, national usage, or agency buyouts may require additional licensing.
A deposit is required to hold the date. Final payment is due before final edited files are delivered. Weather, access, security, and location restrictions may affect scheduling.
Standard delivery: 3 to 7 business days. Rush delivery is available upon request.
