Our services: Aerial Cinematography • EagleCam • ChaseJib
With a name like Dronewrx, obviously OBVIOUSLY we specialize in professional aerial cinematography. We started flying drones commercially in 2012. As our experience and crew continue to grow, so do our services. Our founder, Drew Cobb, has been producing video content for years working in various aspects of TV and movie production. He’s written, edited and provided voice over on projects, and can even produce music. A lifetime of experiences lead Drew to a career of professional aerial cinematography and stabilized camera movement which is the focus of Dronewrx.
Over the past few years we expanded our specialty services to include: Car-to-car vehicle stabilization that includes a five person pursuit vehicle, which led us to the development of a proprietary car-crane known as the ChaseJib. We combine the ChaseJib with the Flowcine Black arm, and offer the Movi Pro, Ronin 2, Movi XL and Newton On a recent Genesis commercial the director exclaimed “Let’s take advantage of the ChaseJib, that thing is butter!”
We are excited about the launch of EagleCam a four winch Eagle Eye camera system can provide silent, safe, repeatable aerial shots to your production, augmented reality, show or concert. With speeds up to 6 mps and payloads up to 23 kg. The EagleCam is, powerful, reliable, versatile and intelligent. but most importantly for producers … affordable.
What makes this even more interesting to productions is that we can combine our services to provide more than one camera specialty at a time, bringing labor costs down. We shot season 9 of TBS WipeOut and provided drone in the morning, then EagleCam in the afternoon/Evening. We’ve provided both drone and ChaseJib to the production of Wheeler Dealers.
We also offer aerial stock shots of Los Angeles. As an LA native, and ten years of shooting with drones, we’ve built up quite a library of LA’s iconic locations. Reach out and let us know what you need!

Flying is our passion!
Aerial cinematography is our specialty. We have been flying drones commercially since 2012. It’s our passion and what we love to do! We had a 333 exemption with the accompanying Part 61 (pilots license), and got our Part 107 certificate the first day it was available. To put it simply, we have 100% FAA approval, and we’re fully insured. Our experience submitting POA’s (Plan of Activities) is extensive, as well as working with governing agencies who are in charge of approving UAS activity. The process is constantly changing and years of experience helps keep us fluid. We offer traditional GPS stabilized drones as well as FPV.
Flying the drone is only part of the equation
Flying the drone on the day of your shoot and providing you with 100% awesome shots is just the part you see. Before we take on a job, we check airspace and help you along with the process of getting FAA approved, so you can be 100% compliant with the FAA and governing bodies. We will discuss the job with you or your team to make sure we are providing you the proper drone and camera combination for the job. We’ll show up with gear that’s prepped and checked insuring no hiccups when it’s time to roll. We always bring a back-up. We can follow directions and storyboards, and/or help you with creative input. We work with your team making sure your editors have plenty of choices!
There are many ways to use drones in your production. Here are some services that we offer using drones that aren’t common knowledge, and might help foster some ideas for your next shoot.
EagleCam™
Think having a wirecam unit on your production is too costly? Think again!

With speeds up to 6’ per second and payloads up to 50 lbs. Take your production value to the next level, and thrill your audience with exciting, cutting edge aerial camera movement!

Camera Stabilizers can be mounted to anything
Does your production need a moving shot? We’ve mounted cameras to boats, UTV’s, motorcycles, bicycles and and of course cars and trucks. We maintain an extensive grip package to bring your ideas to fruition.
Chase Jib
We’ve been developing this proprietary piece of gear for the past three years and now offer this as a service, or a rental. The beauty of this arm is that it works all stabilizers giving producers many options. We pair this with our custom Flowcine Black Arm + Tranquilizer to provide clients with the smoothest, jitter free shots available. With the Movi Xl we can over-sling gimbal to get different perspectives and angles.
Our resident expert, Eric Bergez (IATSE 600), is the North American re-seller for Flowcine can combine the Black Arm/Tranquilizer combo with any standard remote head for a combination that provides silky smooth camera movement. We feature the the extremely powerful MoVI XL (to hire or rent) which can stabilize a camera package up to 55lbs, as well as accommodate larger form factors. We recently had a full film camera on this rig and it flew at high speed without a whimper. The more lightweight NEWTON, Movi Pro and Ronin 2 are also part of our “fleet”. Our stabilizers are used on top TV shows on rail cams, cable cams, Techno-cranes and Jitta-jibs. Our remote camera work can be seen on Fox’s “The Masked Singer” and “So You Think You Can Dance?” and “Master Chef“. Hire us to turn any vehicle into the perfect stabilized camera support car, or use our Toyota Sequoia that comfortably seats five. A combination of services, and our teams ability to multi-task, makes it simple and affordable to have multiple hero shots on your production.
