Los Angeles Drone Company | FPV, Inspire 3 & Heavy-Lift for Film & TV

Serving all of Los Angeles since 2019, Gung Ho is the aerial unit for film, TV, commercials, and automotive productions. We fly cinema FPV, Inspire 3, and Alta X heavy-lift, handle FilmLA coordination and FAA waivers in-house, and crew to IATSE Local 600 standards.

Every operator holds an FAA Part 107 certificate and works to IATSE Local 600 standards, and we carry $10 million in liability coverage. We prioritize safety, regulatory compliance, and peace of mind on every shoot – essential when working in Los Angeles’s complex airspace.

Navigating LA’s strict drone regulations requires experience and precision. We handle FilmLA coordination and FAA waivers in-house, including authorizations for flights over people and night work in downtown LA, so permits never hold up your call sheet.

Trusted by Top Film, TV & Commercial Clients

Our work has been featured on projects for Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, Warner Bros, Audi, Chevy and Ram. We were one of the first drone teams to put the Inspire 3 to work on professional film sets. S.W.A.T. on CBS, and Paramount’s Tulsa King and 1923, all used it. We understand the unique demands of the entertainment industry and deliver cinematic drone footage that meets the highest standards.

From concept to post-production, Gung Ho offers full-service drone solutions that adapt to your needs. Whether it’s a dramatic establishing shot or an intricate action sequence, we bring your vision to life with professionalism and creativity. Our fleet includes the DJI Inspire 3 with centimeter-level RTK for repeatable moves, the Freefly Alta X heavy-lift for full-size cinema cameras (ARRI Alexa 35, RED), and cinema FPV, including a heavy-lift X8 FPV that carries a RED Komodo. Beyond the shot itself, we capture photogrammetry for building VFX assets.
