Commercial Drone Videography in St. Louis, MO

Licensed, insured, and cleared for St. Louis airspace

"Commercial" isn't a marketing word here — it's an FAA distinction. Any drone footage tied to a business, brand, or paid project legally requires a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, not just a consumer drone and a hobbyist registration. N2THERAW MEDIA flies under Part 107 and carries commercial liability coverage, so the footage you use publicly is footage you're actually allowed to use.

Much of the St. Louis metro — downtown, the Central West End, Clayton, and the corridor out to Chesterfield — sits inside controlled airspace around Lambert International Airport. That means many shoots need LAANC authorization before a drone ever leaves the ground. We handle that airspace clearance ourselves as part of every job, so a shoot doesn't stall on paperwork you didn't know you needed.
