Yacht Drone Filming in Leith

Professional, sea-safe yacht drone filming in Leith supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Operations in Leith combine aviation licensing with genuine seagoing experience. Projects run from single-vessel commissions to scheduled inspection programmes. Tell us the deadline early, because the forecast, not the diary, sets the date.

We plan Leith flights against live port traffic rather than a static harbour chart. Payloads run from 6K RAW cinema cameras to RTK mapping systems and thermal inspection sensors. We can work outside normal hours where tide, traffic or light demands it.

We integrate Leith drone operations into live port activity rather than interrupting it. Emergency ditch and recovery procedures are agreed with the vessel skipper before launch. Anything we cannot legally do offshore, we say before you book rather than after.

Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Leith and receive a written quote. If the forecast will not serve your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Who owns the material from the Leith job?

Licensing is agreed before mobilisation and written into the quote. Tell us whether it is for marketing, an operational record, an insurance file or a technical submission and we scope the licence to match.

Do you coordinate with the vessel's skipper?

Yes. Given the skipper's contact we plan the passage and the shot list together, which is what makes the difference between a vessel that happens to be in frame and one that is positioned for the shot.
