We provide Camera Drone Rentals for Aerial/Drone Video of the New York Area, Miami, and Los Angeles.

There is nothing quite like aerial/drone video of New York City.

There is also nowhere quite so irksome to shoot. NYC is one of the busiest settings in the world, constantly moving and filled with regulations. This includes very complex permit laws when it comes to flying camera drones. Hiring the American Movie Company to shoot your NYC aerial/ drone footage alleviates this tedium.

In other words, our services go beyond renting camera drones and pilots. We take care of all legal minutia and technical details, leaving you only the creative end of your aerial/drone video production.

We also shoot indoor aerial video.

Many of our clients utilize our smaller camera drones to capture indoor scenes. This is most popular for directors looking to film unique, fast-paced shots for action sequences. Real estate agents are big clients, using aerial video to tantalize customers with unique angles of their homes.

Other uses for an indoor camera drone rental include weddings and other social and family events. Check out what else we can do for events.

WebCast live aerial video from our drones!

One of the most popular uses for our camera drone rental service is to Live Stream HD aerial video. Using a DJI 550 Hexacopter,  DJI Inspire 1 Quadcopter or DJI Phantom 3 Professional camera drone, we can stream your live aerial footage to YouTube.

Looking to incorporate live aerial video into a larger production?

No problem! Live HD aerial video can be streamed from your camera drone to our TriCaster 8000. TriCaster technicians intercut drone footage into a larger live production in real time.

  • We use both TriCaster and Live Stream technology.
  • We don’t need WiFi!  We can Live Stream with no WiFI  connection using bonded 4K cellular technology.

Several states are in the process of finalizing rules and regulations for flying drones within city limits. Cities where commercial drone rentals are quite popular are New York City, Atlanta, Chicago and Los Angeles.

If you are looking for drone rental prices or regulations for a drone rental in NYC, the strictest rules apply here, but no worries, we can fix you up immediately and with the best pricing too. If you are wishing to rent a drone in Atlanta, Los Angeles or Chicago, call us at 1-800-811-7805. There is a strong chance that one of our satellite offices may be able to help you in those cities too.

P.S. We have a recurring query – people keep asking us about “Why not just use the DJI Phantom 3”, which we agree is a great piece of technology. Our response is: The DJI Phantom 3 is a great professional hobby drone and this newest iteration in the DJI Phantom line has GPS hover and a host of other great features.

However, it won’t fly any other camera but its own and at the moment, you still need a licensed pilot to fly it in NYC. Ahhh, didn’t know that, did you? Contact us, we can sort out most issues quite quickly and get you the best pricing on a professional level drone that is beyond even this great DJI Phantom 3.
