your cinema drone solution

Every production team needs a drone guy, but it’s not enough to just get the shot. You need someone you can trust to handle all the logistics, know the regulations, and work as hard as your team does.

Specializing in FPV (First Person View) drones, with a focus on safety, precision, and versatility, Waypoint is your cinema drone solution.

We build and operate a small fleet of custom aircraft, all designed to capture incredible images in complex environments.

My name is Scott Merriman, and I have always had a passion for flight and film.

I have been building and flying drones for years now, and founded Waypoint to provide affordable, safe, precision aerial filming for projects of any size. I absolutely love what I do, and I still can’t believe how lucky I am to be able to do this for a living.

I pride myself on my work ethic, my ability to adapt and overcome challenges, and work independently.

I am currently based out of Portland Oregon, but I am available for jobs nationwide.

Veteran Owned + Operated

I served for 10 years in the Air Force working in communications. During my time in the military I learned what it takes to be a good teammate, how to perform under pressure, and accomplish the mission no matter what.

In addition to being a leader, the military taught me how to be a good follower, anticipate challenges, and manage risk. It also taught me the importance of keeping morale and spirits up when a job gets tough.

Safe + Reliable

  • Fully licensed UAS operator with the FAA (Part 107).

  • Insured at $5M and COIs available at request.

  • 100% safety record.
