FPV Manitoba Takes Over Haus of Panda Flying Through the Manitoba Museum

This past weekend, FPV Manitoba and DIRXECP had the chance to take 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.

And this wasn’t just any show — it was a celebration of the largest laser show in Central Canada, transforming the entire hall into a futuristic playground of color, movement, and sound. From massive beams cutting through fog to synchronized laser patterns dancing 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 a thrill, but it is also a challenge.

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, taking advantage of their agility and safety profile for tight indoor spaces.

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

These drones let us 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 — and 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

  • Hitting the timing just right 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 the 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 — a visual profile that truly matches Speed World.

Technical Notes & Safety Planning

Every FPV indoor shoot begins long before takeoff. For this event, 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 — easily 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.
