Knoxville Drone Pilot

Drones have changed the way we see the world, offering new perspectives and stunning visuals that elevate any production. As a Knoxville drone pilot, I focus on delivering safe, reliable, and cinematic aerial footage for commercial clients, events, and productions.

Operating a drone is more than just flying — it’s about knowing the regulations, understanding safety requirements, and delivering professional results. I am an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, which means I’m authorized to fly commercially under federal guidelines. In addition, I hold advanced FAA waivers that allow for certain specialized operations, including flying over people and from moving vehicles when conducted under approved safety protocols.

For clients, this translates into more flexibility and creative possibilities on set. From tracking vehicles in motion to capturing large outdoor events, aerial shots can add production value that isn’t achievable from the ground.

Knoxville and East Tennessee provide an incredible backdrop for aerial videography, with scenic landscapes, city skylines, and dynamic locations perfect for film and commercial projects. Whether you’re a local business, a marketing agency, or part of a larger production team, having an experienced Knoxville drone pilot can bring your project to the next level.
