Who we are

At Stratus Aerial, our core mission is to empower pilots and organizations by fusing advanced aerodynamics, lightweight composites, and precision manufacturing into next-generation FPV systems.

While we specialize in design and manufacturing, we also maintain an in-house team of certified Part 107 pilots, fully equipped and ready for rapid deployment to the field. Whether it’s conducting rigorous data capture operations or creating breathtaking cinematic footage, our pilots bring hands-on expertise to ensure your projects launch with speed, intelligence, and efficiency.

This integrated approach means you get end-to-end support: from innovative hand tailored hardware, to on-demand operational execution that turns vision into results.

What began as a passion for filmmaking evolved into a full-fledged career in aerial cinematography. In 2025, he pivoted to drone work full-time after discovering a love for building and flying his own rigs.
