Pushing the boundaries of what's possible
The team at Verity Studios has a passion for bringing technology and the arts together to create something audiences have never seen before. And we believe even the most innovative solutions should be easy to use.

Technology you can trust
We are proud of our track record
The Verity system is a safe and reliable drone solution that delivers magic to your show. With nearly 100 patents to our name, we've built our indoor drone system from the ground up with safety and reliability in mind. Our drones have traveled the world and have flown 1M+ times in more than 25 countries. Having toured with Metallica, Celine Dion, and Drake, and flying above audiences at major corporate events, our technology has been proven in environments where failure is not an option. The Verity Studios system is so safe that we’ve even been allowed to fly in venues with the strictest no-drone policies.
TechnologyWhat we do
The first thing we do is listen;
getting a feel for the show. Then we design something ambitious enough that the audience remembers, and reliable enough you can deliver, show after show.

Our process
From concept to opening night,
we’ll be there.
Are you creating a new show? Let us make it more spectacular. Tell us your artistic vision, we will help you realize it, using our unique combination of technical innovation and creative invention.
1. The big idea.
We start by understanding your show, venue, creative vision, and constraints. We translate that into a drone show concept: the emotion or experience the drones should convey, and how they integrate with your existing lights, video, and music.
2. Getting it right.
Our team works through exactly how the show is installed and run in your specific venue: available rigging points, how the Kedge units integrate into the set, as well as integration with your lighting, video and stage automation. We will also support you with venue safety approvals and getting clearance for venues with no-drone policies. You get a clear technical and installation plan before anything is built.
3. Choreography and previsualization.
Our drone choreographers design the flight paths and lighting, synchronized to your music, performers, and effects. Before any drone flies, we build a full 3D previsualization so you see and approve exactly how the sequence will look in your space, and we iterate on it with your creative team until it's right.
4. Optional: customization.
If your show calls for something unique, our designers create bespoke flight-tested costumes or custom payloads, and our engineers adapt the system to your needs. Custom creative and technical projects have lead times of 4–8 months.
5. Going live & support.
We ship the equipment and install on-site. For one-off events, our team operates the show. For permanent installations, we train your team to run and maintain it. We finesse the drones' performance through to opening night and are available around the clock for ongoing shows.
Technology
Designed and built from the ground up, our indoor drones turn live events into unforgettable experiences.
Designed and built from the ground up, our indoor drones turn live events into unforgettable experiences.
The Lucie® micro drone
The Lucie micro drone is a 58g (2 oz) autonomous flying light built for live performance. Each Lucie carries one of two lighting payloads with programmable intensities. The bright RGBW pixel light gives you saturated color with pixel-level control across the full fleet. The Mini Beam throws focused shafts through the air to create searchlight effects, beam sweeps, and aerial shapes, flown anywhere in the venue. Mix payloads in a single fleet to combine flying pixels with dramatic mid-air beams.
Due to its small size, the Lucie micro drone can perform above artists and audience members without any safety concerns. Optimized for permanent installations and touring productions, they are ultra-safe, reliable, and easy to use.
FLYING MINI BEAMS
The new Mini Beam payload transforms Lucie drones into mobile, moving beam lights—no rigging, no fixed positions. Freed from traditional mounting constraints, lighting designers can now position and animate beams anywhere in space, unlocking creative possibilities limited only by imagination. With the Mini Beam, light becomes a dynamic, untethered element of stage design.
Technical specifications.
Weight: 58g (2oz) per drone
Flight time: up to 5 minutes per charge
Charging time: approximately 45 minutes
Reliability: 99.95%
Ceiling height: 6 - 15m (20 - 50 ft)
Equipped with high–intensity, pre-programmable RGBW lights as either a pixel or Mini Beam
Indoor positioning system.
Our Kedge™ localization units positions every Lucie micro drone indoors without GPS, cameras, or carpets. The robust system has operated in a wide variety of venues and conditions, including on ice, in a desert, on ships and even next to flame throwers.
Kedges integrate into the scenography however the design calls for it. They can be built into the set, carried on and off by performers or stage hands during the show, or hidden entirely from view below audience seats.
Lucie® charging station.
To house the Lucie micro drones before their performance, we provide charging station racks. Each rack hosts up to 40 Lucie micro drones and is an all-in-one charging, storage, and transportation solution.
Custom Projects
If you want to create something never seen before, we also work on bespoke, custom projects built to your specifications. From custom design, to engineering projects and processes, we’ll work with you to deliver something spectacular.
Costumes
Imagine a stage full of floating jellyfish, flying disco balls or swaying flowers. Our drone costume designers can create bespoke costumes that turn our Lucie® micro drones into flying scenery, props and even creatures. These ultra-light, flight-tested costumes can be used alone, or in tandem with a flying light show to add an extra dimension to your event.
Show integration.
Our Lucie micro drones integrate with the rest of the show rather than running alongside it. The drones accept timecoded show control triggers from your existing workflow, so cues fire in sync with the lights, video, and audio your team is already running.
Supported protocols:
Timecode: LTC, MIDI, Art-Net
Network: TCP, UDP
