Drew Cobb

I’ve never been great at living out loud, so this time I get to lean on Maxfield H who was our over qualified support for the most recent live LinkedIn fireside chat lead in shot. Flight vs. Fusion (An exercise in effortless disruption): “I recently had the privilege of working alongside a crew of top-tier media artists on a sprawling Silicon Valley tech campus. Our mission: Augment the narrative for a global titan’s holiday fireside chat with seamless production flair. There is nothing more invigorating than being surrounded by the vanguards of the industry— the kind of people who treat “impossible” as a mere hardware limitation. It’s a smooth-running machine. The Symbiosis: Dronewrx was elected to supplement this corporate milestone with instant-production-value via elite drone cinematography. Watching Drew Cobb work is a masterclass in first-principles execution. You know how people say a virtuoso musician becomes the instrument? Drew doesn’t just “pilot” a craft; his nervous system seems to integrate directly into the flight controller’s PID loops. Whether he’s threading a DJI Inspire through the corporate pines or chasing a cyclist around the campus quad with an FPV rig, the latency between his mind and the motors is effectively zero. It’s not just flight; it’s an effortless atmospheric disruption. The Antidote: Beyond the technical spec, Drew proved to be the ultimate antifragile collaborator. In a world of high-stress sets and rigid protocols, he brings a jocular, easy-going energy that actually scales. He possesses a rare creative leniency— making high-stakes feel like a low-stakes. Need to go over the same shot a dozen times before your FAA-approved window closes? Want to try a bunch of one-shot wonders? When your pilot is this proficient, the technology vanishes, leaving only the pure vision to flourish. If your production is suffering from “Narrative Continuity Failure” or just lacks that visceral, kinetic edge, hunt down this level of fluency. Find Drew Cobb” Thanks Max! #linkedin #siliconvalley ##sunnyvalle #livestream #liveshoot #inspire3 #fpv #sub250gfpv #keepcalm #happyholidays

🎥🚁 Finally posting about the Head In the Clouds festival at The Rose Bowl! Huge shoutout to Chris Heinrich – without you, chaos would reign. Ever wonder what goes into drone coverage at a music festival? Buckle up. Here’s the behind-the-scenes scoop: First, my crew—Eric Bergez @procinemadrone , my long time partner and local 600 camera op syncs with the truck and nails the shot. Michael Jennings @michaeljfilm the FPV master safely flying sub 250 drones over crowds, and Walker Graham @pr3m0_holding down the VO position, and moi: Drew Cobb your friendly neighborhood aerial DP putting all the pieces together. Then comes paperwork mountain—Part 107 licenses, drone regs, aircraft insurance, POA, questionnaires and permits. I used to be a graphic designer, so ours look slicker than most. 👍 Pre-event tech walk? Check. Signal tests? Uhhh no ... Had to wait till officer was there to fly, meaning testing signal strength “on the fly” as event started. Crazy stressful, but the law was laid down. We literally have a Pasadena helicopter pilot looking over our shoulder the entire time. Not just on site. Watching our every move. Night drone flights over crowd? We were initially told no because other crews had crashes, but thanks to some diplomatic charm and exhibiting top shelf pilot skills, we got to keep flying till the end. 🚀 Flying the Inspire 3, navigating preset paths over trees, stages, and parkways—like a drone ninja. Waaaaaahhh!!! And when we see our footage on the giant screens, and all over the social and @codyburkhardt awesome EFX wrap movie? That’s the real reward. Feeling grateful for this wild, 36 hour ride and the rad people I get to work with. 🙌✨ #DroneLife #FestivalVibes #BehindTheScenes #headintheclouds #sub250g #festivallife❤️ #hitc #kpop #jacksonwang #richbrian #gdragon🐉 #2ne1 #dean #dprian #porterrobinson #higherbrothers #4eve #armnhmr #bixby #jonahlove #karri #milli #miso #number1 #pião #piscee #seijioda #sf4am #inspire3 #dji04

Here we have 3 historical aerial cinematography firsts: 1st shot was the first “surviving” aerial shot of Boston, shot in 1860 from a hot air ballon @ 2,000’ AGL 2nd Shot is the first aerial photo of Los Angeles shot in 1887 3rd shot is a screen grab from two firsts for me: the 1st time I shot aerial cinematography (which was balloon to ballon), but also the 1st project I self produced. Keystone Colorado 1985. #aerialcinematography #aerialphotography #hostoricphotography #historyfacts #historynerd #historicpix #historicpictures #losangeleshistory #historiclosangeles #bostonhistoryminute #boston #bostonceltics #bostonbruins #newengland #newenglandpatriots #newenglandphotography #historicnewengland #bostonian #oldlosangeles #keystonecolorado #keystoneski #hotairballoon #hotairballooning #hotairballoonfestival #hotairballoonpilot

Flying high around the San Francisco for an upcoming movie chase scene. #dronefreekfpv #oaklandbaybridge #gatham #carchase #thesanfranciscotreat

Shooting a car chase for the sequel of a movie we shot back in 2017 from sundown to sun up in San Francisco. ChaseJib + cinema drone + FPV. Side note: San Francisco is nowhere near what I expected from all the horror stories: it’s still a beautiful city. #oaklandbaybridge #sanfrancisco #oraclepark #thecitybythebay #fpvyouknowme #dronefreek #dronewrx #chimera7prov2 #dji03
