Marine Civil Filming in Felixstowe

Professional, sea-safe marine civil filming in Felixstowe supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Marine Civil Filming in Felixstowe draws on the same crews that work the tidal Thames daily. Briefs come from marine contractors, brokers, port operators and production companies. Stills, video and survey data can come out of one mobilisation rather than three.

Launch and recovery points around Felixstowe are chosen for the conditions expected on the day. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and drift while the camera operator holds the frame. We can work outside normal hours where tide, traffic or light demands it.

Coordination with the harbour master and port authority is standard practice in Felixstowe. Crews are trained for water safety as well as licensed for commercial flight. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.

Where a weather window is short, we plan the shot list so nothing needs a second mobilisation. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we can supply MCA-coded vessels for at-sea launches in Felixstowe. We can hold a provisional window while you confirm internally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you deliver survey-grade data as well as imagery?

Yes. RTK-equipped platforms produce georeferenced orthomosaics and 3D models of quays, defences and structures to centimetre accuracy, delivered in the formats your engineering team already uses.

How do you ensure safety when flying over sea water?

We use redundant airframes with float kits where appropriate, and every flight plan sets geofenced return-to-home limits that account for wind drift, sea state and a moving launch point.

How much notice do you need for work in Felixstowe?

Port clearances and the weather window both drive the lead time, so a week or two is comfortable. Offshore work depends heavily on the forecast, so tell us the deadline and we will be straight with you about the odds.
