Drone Services in Portsmouth, VA
Portsmouth is Hampton Roads’ shipyard city: Norfolk Naval Shipyard sits on its Elizabeth River waterfront, alongside Olde Towne, the naval medical center, and a working port. Lyfted Media flies this kind of work already — port and waterfront construction documentation in Newport News — and Portsmouth is the next city over.
We’re an FAA Part 107 certified, fully insured drone company based in Hampton Roads. Jimmy holds a TWIC card and a MARMC photographers permit — the access credentials shipyard and naval-base work actually requires.
What We Do in Portsmouth
Construction progress documentation. Recurring flyovers for waterfront, shipyard-adjacent, and industrial projects, giving stakeholders a clear visual record of every phase. See how we work: Drone Construction Progress.
Industrial and infrastructure inspection. Shipyards, port facilities, bridges, rooftops, and towers. We put a camera where it needs to be without cranes, lifts, or shutdowns.

Aerial cinematography for film and TV. Over a decade of production experience, including work for National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and NBC Nightly News.
Events. Waterfront events, festivals, and corporate gatherings, shot from above.
