Capturing the Magic of Haus of Panda: Speed World with FPV Drones

This past weekend, FPV Manitoba and DIRXECP took our FPV drones into one of Winnipeg’s most unique venues — the Alloway Hall inside the Manitoba Museum — for the Haus of Panda: Speed World event.

A Dazzling Laser Show Experience

This wasn’t just any show. It was a celebration of the largest laser show in Central Canada. The entire hall transformed into a futuristic playground of color, movement, and sound. Massive beams cut through fog, while synchronized laser patterns danced to the beat. The entire room felt alive. It was the perfect environment to bring FPV to life.

Flying FPV Indoors at Speed World

Flying FPV in a setting like this is always thrilling, but it also presents challenges. Alloway Hall comes with:

• Low ceilings

• Crowds that grow and shift throughout the night

• Intense laser effects and lighting changes

• Fog bursts that can obscure camera visibility

• Tight paths around rigs, speakers, and staging

  
  

Instead of scaling back, we adapted. We flew the Meteor 75 Pro sub-250g and Spydr Evo Pro FPV rigs, equipped with the DJI O4 air unit. These drones excelled in agility and safety, perfect for tight indoor spaces.

Both drones were fitted with custom 3D-printed camera mounts, enhancing their performance for smoother, more stable footage in environments where precision matters most.

These drones allowed us to weave through the hall, skim over the crowd, ride the laser beams, and capture the atmosphere from angles impossible with handheld or traditional cameras.

Capturing the Energy of Haus of Panda

Haus of Panda’s Speed World aesthetic is built on movement, speed, and high-voltage music. The addition of the biggest laser show in Central Canada elevated it even further.

Our goal was to capture that energy and make viewers feel like they were inside the experience.

We focused on:

• Laser-filled fly-throughs: Timing was crucial to ride through moving light structures.

• Crowd-surfing FPV shots: Floating above people as lasers and strobes cut the air around them.

• DJ performance passes: Tight, dynamic fly-bys inside the booth as lasers synced to the drops.

• Epic wide reveals of the hall: Showcasing the scale of the laser production and the architecture of the space.

• Atmospheric slow-motion drifts: Highlighting fog, beams, silhouettes, and the surreal feeling of the night.

  
  

The footage is a perfect blend of rave energy and controlled FPV precision. It creates a visual profile that truly matches Speed World.

Technical Notes & Safety Planning

Every FPV indoor shoot begins long before takeoff. For this event, our planning included:

• A full site survey of Alloway Hall

• Coordination with the Haus of Panda team and Manitoba Museum staff

• Detailed safety protocols for flying around dense crowds

• Selecting lightweight sub-250g drones for reduced-risk operations

• Real-time communication between pilots and spotters

• Flexible flight paths that could adapt to fog bursts and laser timing

  
  

FPV is fast and instinctive, but it’s also structured, safe, and professionally executed. Huge shoutout to the FPV Manitoba crew for a flawless night of flying.

Looking Ahead

Capturing Speed World’s massive laser show with FPV was an unreal experience. It stands as one of our most visually intense indoor shoots to date. We’re proud to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with FPV cinematography here in Manitoba.
