Xizmo Media

Founded in 2008, Xizmo Media is New York City’s most experienced and trusted drone cinematography company, delivering world-class aerial imagery for film, television, live events, and branded content. We made history by suing the City of New York to overturn its restrictive drone ban, paving the way for legal, professional UAS operations across the five boroughs making Xizmo the leading filer for drone permits in NYC. That landmark victory didn’t just change the law — it redefined what’s possible in urban airspace an Since then, Xizmo Media has become the go-to NYC drone service for major studios, networks, and event producers. Our team has captured every premier event in the city — from the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks and Thanksgiving Day Parade to concerts in Central Park and live sports broadcasts for the world’s biggest networks. With FAA Part 107 certification and special waivers for operations over 55 lbs, Xizmo Media operates the most advanced heavy-lift and FPV drone platforms in the world, enabling safe, compliant, and creative aerial productions that push the boundaries of storytelling. Our mission is simple: combine precision engineering, cinematic artistry, and regulatory expertise to bring visionary aerial perspectives to life — responsibly and legally — in the most complex urban environment on earth. From feature films to live television and drone light shows that electrify the skyline, Xizmo Media continues to lead the evolution of aerial cinematography in NYC and beyond.
