Drone light shows can be affected by bad weather conditions such as high winds, rain, or snow. Our drones are tested at speeds of over 50km/hr. , but these conditions have an effect on the battery life and length of the show. We can handle more wind than most as we operate the only professional grade drones designed specifically for light shows that have been wind tunnel tested! We have experience in rainy and winter conditions, and will always do everything possible to work around challenging weather conditions.
Regulations and restrictions for drone light shows vary by city and location, as well as by Transport Canada airspace guidelines and the specific requirements of the event. At Pixel Sky, we take care of all airspace requirements and can assist with local authorities and city safety planners to ensure compliance and secure the necessary permissions for your event. We are also the only drone show operator in Canada with a fleet of micro-drones (sub-250g.) that have reduced restrictions and permitting requirements.
Pixel Sky Animations drone shows are typically last between 10 to 20 minutes, comparable to traditional fireworks displays. The exact duration can vary depending on the event and specific requirements, allowing for customization to fit various occasions.
