At Sky Elements, reliability isn’t just a promise—it’s our foundation. In the world of live entertainment, having a single plan or piece of equipment just doesn’t cut it. That’s why every Sky Elements show is backed by redundancy in all aspects of the performance — from extra drones and gear to certified drone pilots— all ensuring you don't have to worry about a thing at your event.

While your audience is captivated by the drone show in the night sky, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you made the right choice.

At Sky Elements, we implement an industry-leading triple-layered geo-fencing technology at every event. A geo-fence is a virtual boundary that automatically triggers safety commands when a drone crosses a predefined area. Geofences are essential in the safety of every Sky Elements drone light show.
To provide enhanced redundancy and real-time response, we deploy three geo-fences for every show. This triple-system design allows us to instantly detect and correct any drone that deviates from its programmed flight path, keeping all flight paths within our designated safety zones.

The hard fence is a more stringent layer of protection in our geo-fence system. If a drone crosses this boundary, it receives an immediate command to shut off its motors. Though this emergency protocol is rarely triggered, it’s crucial for protecting pedestrians, moving vehicles, and other assets adjacent to the drone show area. By establishing the hard fence at a safe distance, we ensure that even the most unexpected deviations pose minimal risk—giving you peace of mind and a flawless Sky Elements performance.

Everything that goes up must come down. While our drone shows are programmed for them to land back at their starting position we do plan for the possibility of an unscheduled landing by establishing safety zones where people or moving vehicles cannot be present.

When planning a drone light show, it's essential to consider both the audience perspective and the safety of bystanders near the performance area. At Sky Elements, we recommend placing your audience between 500 to 1,000 feet away from the drone launch zone for the best viewing experience. Similar to how a high-resolution LED screen has a “sweet spot” for viewing, drone shows also benefit from the right distance to create the illusion of resolution.

In addition to the audience position, it's crucial to factor in the safety of nearby pedestrians and bystanders. Both audiences and bystanders must remain outside the designated safety zones throughout the performance. Sky Elements will provide a detailed site plan and a bespoke safety plan, giving you complete confidence in every aspect of your drone show production.

At Sky Elements, our experience is truly unparalleled. We’ve flown thousands of drone light shows for clients around the globe—excluding the countless hours of test flights. With the most extensive hands-on experience in programming, piloting, and performing drone shows, Sky Elements stands as the world’s leading drone show provider.

While our experience speaks volumes - its important to learn from your experience and improve all aspects of drone show safety at with every show.
