DRONE VIDEOGRAPHY

PROFESSIONAL DRONE VIDEOGRPAHY SERVICES

Drone videography that captures stunning aerial perspectives and brings your story to life from above.

What is drone videography?

Drone videography is the use of a small unmanned aircraft (SUA) to capture stunning aerial footage and photography for use in video marketing content. By using drone videography, we are able to capture a whole different perspective in comparison to just using standard ground photography and video. As well as looking super cool, drones are also really cost effective and efficient, eliminating the need for any other equipment when it comes to filming up high or doing building surveys.

We are a Midlands-based videography company, and our team consists of experienced and CAA-approved drone operators with a deep understanding of aerial filming and photography services. We hold an Operational Authorisation from the Civil Aviation Authority, ensuring safe and compliant drone operations to provide peace of mind.

DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES

Commercial drone videography and photography

Our drone videography services are used in various industries, including commercial, construction, horticulture, heritage and more. Every industry can benefit from drone services being included in their content. We provide cutting-edge aerial imagery for TV, social media, web and other digital marketing platforms.

Drone photography for construction

When capturing photography and video for construction projects, without drones you are limited as to how much of the project you can capture. For anything above 6ft you would need to hire scaffold or cherry pickers incurring extra costs and hassle. With drone filming, we’re able to capture the full scope of the project in aerial video up to 300ft. This can then be used to create stunning promotional videos showcasing builds or critical infrastructure projects.

3D drone mapping & surveying

We offer 3D drone mapping services to create detailed three-dimensional models of objects, landscapes, or structures. This works by taking a series of images using aerial photography and stitching them together to make a 3D model. For creating simple landform maps, this can be done in just a few hours, saving time in comparison to traditional surveys and mapping techniques. We work with local building surveyors to provide them with drone photography to add to their survey reports, adding extra value to their clients. Our drone mapping services are used in various fields, including surveying, construction, agriculture, archaeology, and filmmaking.

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

Ensuring safe and compliant drone operations

We prioritise safety and compliance in all our drone operations, adhering to the Civil Aviation Authority’s regulations and guidelines and UK drone laws. Before any project, our team carries out thorough risk assessments, method statements and pre-flight surveys to ensure safe and compliant drone operations. Each drone pilot has full training and is qualified to operate drones in a safe and conscientious manner. Where necessary due to restrictions, our experienced team of project managers work together with local authorities to gain flight permissions that might not be openly available to the public, going the extra mile to ensure that our clients get the best possible results by using aerial filming.

OUR EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY

State-of-the-art drones and cameras

We use state-of-the-art drones and cameras to capture stunning aerial footage and photography services. Utilising the latest drone technology, our equipment includes high-resolution cameras and cutting-edge drone technology to ensure exceptional results. We understand that one drone isn’t going to be perfect for every job; that’s why we have a range of drones to choose from when selecting the best one for the job.

DJI Mavic

For good, stable and very high-quality aerial video capture, the Mavic is our biggest drone offering more stability in tougher filming conditions. The Mavic is our go-to drone for captivating landscape shots that create a lasting impression.

DJI FPV Drone

The FPV drone includes a headset for the pilot to see through the camera lens of the drone as they are flying. This makes this particular drone perfectly suited for more risky and dynamic shooting such as flying through small gaps and around indoor locations.

DJI Mini

With a weight of 249g, the Mini drone is perfect for flying in more crowded areas and indoors. With a lower weight classification, the UK drone laws regarding small drones are less restrictive, allowing our drone company access to film in more locations.

Ground photography and videography

Supplementing aerial footage with ground-level visuals

The sky is not the limit! To ensure our projects are not visually restricted, we often combine our ground photography and videography services with aerial footage to allow for a more dynamic video.

Frequently asked questions

Drone footage adds a unique perspective to video production, helping showcase locations, scale and atmosphere in ways traditional filming cannot. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about planning and delivering drone videography.

What are the legal requirements for drone filming?

When operating a small unmanned aircraft (SUA) (previously known as an unmanned aerial vehicle), the legal requirements vary depending on the size and weight of the drone and the location it is filming in. Our drone operators are CAA approved and have logged many hours of flight time, giving us the option of many drones to choose from when selecting the right one for the job. Each filming location may require their own paperwork such as risk assessments, flight plans and proof of public liability insurance. Our professional service handles that all for you ensuring a smooth and stress free operation.
How much does drone photography and filming cost?

The cost for drone photography and videography services can vary largely depending on the amount of footage to capture, the complexity of the shoot, and any pre and post production that may be involved. All of our projects are quoted on a bespoke basis and include a free, no obligation discovery call with one of our friendly team members to find out more about the project requirements.
What industries benefit most from drone photography?

All industries can benefit from drone videography services whether it is to show a completed project for a construction firm, the outside of an office location for a corporate business, or an indoor drone video for an estate agents. By using drone photography, we can creating stunning promotional videos for any industry to use as part of their marketing strategy.
How do I choose the right drone operator?

Choosing the correct drone company can be the difference between receiving a great video or no video at all.

Once you’ve narrowed it down to a list of qualified providers of drone filming services, you can then select your provider based on what is important to you. Do you like their style of filming, have they got experience in your industry, do they provide a fast turnaround?
