Drone Station Integration
The Rivian Arm Car features a custom-built drone station integrated into the front trunk (frunk), allowing the arm car team to seamlessly transition to a drone team within minutes. A video monitor mounted on the inside of the hood provides a live-streaming feed from the drone, giving crews an instant aerial perspective that perfectly complements ground-based tracking shots.
Our FAA-certified and industry-experienced drone pilots bring years of flight expertise across commercial, automotive, and cinematic productions — ensuring every aerial move is executed with precision, safety, and storytelling intent. Together, the Rivian platform and our skilled drone team create a fully integrated ground-and-air capture system built for modern filmmaking.
