Are you Insured?

Yes, in line with the CAA & all aviation laws, we hold full Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and kit cover up to £20m.
This enables us to fly in accordance with all regulations and congested zones (e.g. Central London, Heliports, Airports)

What do you specialise in?

We specialise in filming & photography for businesses and production teams that need it. Our primary focus for the past 6 years has been construction, but we also do Corporate, Film & TV, Automotive, Advertisements, & Lifestyle.

Our drone skills matched with our professional ground camera skills allows us to work within every niche to provide the best quality content possible. Our ground camera services (normal camera, non-drone) opens opportunities within food, lifestyle, automotive, events, corporate headshots, and more. Contact us for more details on your projects.

Can we have a discount?

No. We cannot survive as a business handing out discounts. Our bills continue to flow, and therefore our income must also. Our prices are reflective of our skills and qualifications. There are plenty of hobbyist non professionals flying sub 250g drones (no qualifications required) there who will price up £50 for a full days work & an edit, but we are not competing with them. 9/10 times their work is shoddy. If you want it done right, hire a professional.

Do you offer drone training?

We do not offer drone training but we highly recommend you check out Drone Pilot Academy if you would like drone training. All our pilots have been trained with them and they offer the highest knowledge on drones. They are fully NQE Certified and know the full extent of drone info, laws, and training.

What's the difference between your qualification

experience & someone flying a small drone?

GVC (General Visual Line of Sight Certificate)

Professional licence for commercial drone operations.
Required for flying larger drones (over 2 kg) or in complex/restricted areas.
Allows the pilot to operate under an Operational Authorisation from the CAA - enabling closer flights to people, buildings, and congested areas with proper risk assessment and insurance.
(Used by professional operators with £10m to £20m+ insurance and CAA-approved flight manuals.)

A2 CofC (A2 Certificate of Competency)

Mid-level qualification for smaller drones (250 g–2 kg).
Allows flight closer to people in the Open Category.
Intended for commercial or advanced hobbyist use in less restricted airspace.
(Common for creators and small-business pilots.)

Basic Flyer + Operator ID (£9 CAA Registration)

Entry-level legal requirement to fly any drone, or be the registered owner of any drone.
No formal training or advanced permissions.
Allows flight of sub-250 g drones recreationally, but not commercially or in any restricted zones.
(Hobbyist-level flying only.)

My friend pays the £9 per year 'licence'

This is not a license. This is legal registration of your drone and is required by anyone to fly or own a drone in the UK.
You must take a 20 question test online for basic competence & airspace safety, and this then enables you to own your drone legally. Most of the fliers thinking they have the 'license' paying £9 per year are flying sub 250g drones - you do NOT need any licenses for drones sub 250g, however, you MUST abide by airspace regulations (no flying in central london, airports, heli zones etc), and you must have the £9 per year registration.

Quoting your 'mate' who has the £9 per year 'license' who charges £50 for a day of work is incorrect information. They are not qualified professional pilots. They are hobbyists flying for fun, and choosing to make a bit of side income (totally legal).
