About Us

Behind the scenes

Obviously, With a name like Dronewrx, we specialize in aerial cinematography. We started flying drones commercially in 2013 and never looked back. As our experience grew, our services have expanded. Our founder, Drew Cobb, was producing video content long before drones or camera stabilization entered the picture, then a lifetime of experience lead him to a aerial cinematography & robotic camera movement.

Over the past few years we’ve expanded our services to include car-to-car vehicle stabilization using the Flowcine Black Arm, which led to the development of the ChaseJib. The ChaseJib simplifies a complicated / precarious camera specialty, making it much easier, safer and affordable. Streamlining that process gives us the ability to offer both drone AND car-to-car with the same crew. Shooting with the ChaseJib doesn’t require road shut downs, which are costly and require extensive planning.

In 2020 we partnered with Industry Sherpa to purchase the first Eagle Eye 100 system in the US. The EE-100 is a 4 winch robotic cable camera system that revolutionized the industry, with its features and accesibility. We also offer simple point to point systems with the Dactylcam.

DREW Cobb

Chief Pilot in Command – Aerial DP (IASTSE Local 695)

As a professional drone pilot, Drew and his crew, bring a level of skill required when critical shots are on the line, but more importantly, “a creative eye in the fly”. Drew has been flying drones commercially since 2013. He got a Part 333 plus part 61 pilots license before August 2016 when that was necessary. This gives him a thorough understanding of the dynamics of flying. With a film career that predates the integration of drones, he is well versed in camera set-up, and language. His positive attitude and calm demeanor under pressure are always an asset. At Dronewrx, we prioritize collaboration and work closely with your production team to achieve the best possible results. While many of our competitors (whom we have worked for) maintain high overhead costs associated with office space and staff, we operate with minimal overhead, allowing us to deliver the same caliber of service at a price point that pleases producers.
