About Parallax
Founder-built systems behind Parallax Arena.
Parallax Solutions is a North Dakota company building practical drone systems, with Parallax Arena as the flagship platform.
Our Mission
Make drone interaction visible, structured, and practical.
We help customers understand and use modern drone technology through Parallax Arena, supervised demos, hands-on FPV familiarization, support services, and practical hardware development.
Products and programs are built around scoped use cases. The goal is simple: make drone behavior visible, make interaction structured, and give customers a practical path from concept to supervised use.
Founder Path
FPV roots, field discipline, and present-day prototyping.
The Parallax story blends early FPV building, service experience, robotics exposure, and current workshop development into one practical product perspective.
Workshop Detail
Hands-on airframe literacy informs the product.
Parallax Arena is shaped by practical familiarity with FPV hardware: carbon-fiber frames, compact electronics, cameras, antennas, and the physical constraints that show up when small drones move through real space.
That workshop perspective helps Parallax explain drone behavior, design supervised demos, and keep development grounded in real system behavior instead of abstract presentation.
Hardware Fabrication
In-house fabrication keeps iteration close to the problem.
Small-drone systems are physical products. Parallax keeps early hardware work close to the bench so concepts can move from CAD, to material, to testing without losing the practical constraints that matter in the field.
Public materials show capability and context only. Sensitive dimensions, customer details, build procedures, and unreleasable technical material stay off the public site.
Rapid Prototyping
3D printing turns CAD into testable hardware quickly.
Additive manufacturing gives Parallax a fast way to evaluate brackets, housings, fixtures, target concepts, and ergonomic details before committing to more permanent hardware.
That speed matters for Parallax Arena because drone interaction depends on physical parts that can be handled, adjusted, observed, and improved through structured test cycles.
FPV Build Archive
A decade of hands-on small-drone experience.
Before Parallax, the founder was already building, tuning, and flying FPV aircraft. These archive posts show early systems literacy: airframes, cameras, antennas, controllers, and field testing.
Founder
Nicholas Trevino, Founder & CEO.
Parallax Solutions was founded by Nicholas Trevino, Founder and CEO, a former U.S. Air Force EOD technician, EOD School Honor Graduate, and lifelong FPV pilot with hands-on experience in field operations, drone systems, and practical product development.
The company was built on a simple observation: small drones become easier to understand when people can see, track, and interact with them in a defined format. Closing that gap requires systems knowledge, direct hands-on familiarity, and tools that make interaction structured.

Principles
How we work.
Operationally Informed
Product and support work is grounded in current systems, practical constraints, and hands-on FPV familiarity.
Realistic
Customers see, hear, track, and interact with representative platforms in scoped environments.
Responsible
Safety, clarity, and responsible development. Engagements stay focused on practical product, demo, and support value.
Modular
Scoped to customer, audience, site, and time. From a simple concept brief to a Arena pilot.
Direct
Plain language, credible content, and no exaggerated claims. Customers walk away with practical understanding.
Adaptive
Drone technology evolves quickly. So do our materials, demonstrations, and hardware concepts.
