VLOS stands for Visual Line of Sight, an aviation standard that requires a drone pilot to maintain direct visual contact with the aircraft at all times. At VLOS Drone & Media, it represents more than compliance — it’s how we work. We believe the best aerial media comes from pilots who stay present, intentional, and connected to the environment they’re capturing.

​

VLOS Drone & Media was founded by Nic Martinez, a certified professional drone pilot with years of real-world experience in aerial cinematography, event production, and commercial drone operations across New Mexico.

 

Before launching VLOS, Nic co-founded Unlimited Drone Solutions LLC, where he spent years capturing high-stakes aerial footage for events, nonprofits, publications, and commercial clients. That work built a reputation for reliability, safety, and storytelling—values that continue to define VLOS today.

 

VLOS Drone & Media represents the next evolution: a focused, streamlined operation built around precision flying, advanced drone platforms, and clear communication. From cinematic FPV fly-throughs to mapping, inspections, and promotional media, VLOS keeps your vision within line of sight—literally and professionally.

 

This isn’t hobby flying. It’s insured, compliant, purpose-driven drone work designed to deliver results.

     Rooted in New Mexico and dedicated to elevating local stories, the company offers a trusted, licensed pilot who can deliver clean, dynamic footage with consistency and professionalism.
