Aerial footage

Aerial footage looks great in our opinion. To us it's a camera but at a higher viewpoint than normal so that we can take photographs and capture footage from a different angle to make your video just that little more special.

Aerial video

Please find a drone video montage below as an example of our aerial work.

Who is it for?

It's for a lot of people. We can visit construction sites or developments, property for sale, showrooms, shops and many more places to record aerial footage to include within a video. Or if just a few aerial clips or photographs are needed for a project, that's something that we can do too as long as it can be done safely and legally.

This aerial assignment, shown in the video, was to take photographs of the newly formed roof on a Grade II listed building on, unfortunately, a very overcast day. While we were there we thought it rude not to take some video as well!

This aerial assignment, shown in the video, was to take photographs of the client's property and garden prior to external renovation work being carried out. We also took some video footage and quickly edited something together back in the office. As a rule our landing mat, including ourselves, would not normally be visible in case you were wondering!

'Drone' jobs do not get better than this usually. Set in the countryside, with no neighbours and with the access lane officially closed so no public third party incursions were possible, we'll take that every time.

Please find below a few, low resolution photographs that we have taken from one of our drones.

How does it work?

With a project in mind we would first have to find out if a flight could be carried out safely and legally. This process starts when a client lets us know the specific location of the site and as much information as they can about their proposed project in order for us to carry out a risk assessment in the first instance. We also like to explain to a client some of the nuances of flying a drone here in the UK and what is and what is not possible.

The weather plays an important factor for anyone using a remote controlled aircraft. In order to maintain the safety of everyone involved we can only fly in 'good' weather. By that we mean no fog, rain, sleet or snow and the temperature needs to be such that no ice forms on the aircraft we will use. In addition, the maximum wind speed for operations is 15 knots, which is approximately 17 m.p.h. although for video to look its best, we would recommend much lower speeds.

Insurance for drone flights in 2021

From the beginning of 2021 there have been changes in the law regarding drone flights depending on what type of drone is to be used for a flight. One requirement that the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) still insist on though is that an insurance policy must be in place for any drone flight that is to be carried out for commercial reasons, which we hold alongside our other aerial qualification.

With an idea of what we can do and how we operate, please get to know us a little better in the About Us section.
