If you watched the 2026 Winter Olympics, you probably saw footage that felt different—cameras diving through ski courses, weaving between athletes, flying through venues in ways traditional drones can’t match. That’s FPV (First-Person View) drone cinematography, and it’s not just for international sporting events.
What Makes FPV Different
Unlike standard aerial drones that hover and capture bird’s-eye views, FPV drones fly fast, tight, and dynamic. They move through spaces instead of over them. Flying inside buildings, around products, following vehicles, navigating tight corridors. The result is immersive footage that pulls viewers into the experience rather than showing it from a distance.
Practical Uses for Inland Empire Businesses
The same technique that captured Olympic downhill runs works surprisingly well for local commercial applications:
- Breweries and Tasting Rooms – Indoor FPV tours let potential customers experience your space before they visit. Fly through the brewing floor, past the taproom, around the patio. It’s a complete venue showcase in 60 seconds that works for social media and your website.
- Retail Showrooms – Whether you’re selling bikes, cars, furniture, or equipment, FPV lets you highlight products in motion. We’ve flown through bike shops weaving between displays, followed cars through dealership lots, and created dynamic showcase reels that standard walk-through videos can’t match.
- Real Estate Developments – Property tours get more engaging when you can fly through model homes, around community amenities, and across the development site in a single continuous shot. It’s particularly effective for showing flow and scale of larger properties.
- Automotive Services – Detailing shops, custom builds, restoration work—FPV captures the reveal and details in ways that static shots miss. Follow a restored car through your facility, showcase the transformation, create content that stands out on social feeds.
More Accessible Than You’d Think
The Olympics production had massive budgets and crews, but local FPV work is surprisingly accessible. With over 6 years of building and flying FPV drones, we’ve shot indoor tours, property showcases, and following shots throughout Southern California.
Is FPV Right for Your Business?
Not every project needs it. Standard aerial photography still delivers for most real estate listings and construction documentation. But if you want to showcase an experience, highlight motion and flow, or create social media content that stops the scroll, FPV offers something different.
