Thames Marine Civil Filming at Barn Elms Reach

Our thames marine civil filming team is authorised and equipped for operations at Barn Elms Reach. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. Early starts are normal here, because the best water and the best light rarely coincide with office hours.

We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date at Barn Elms Reach. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.

We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.

Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. Contact our marine desk with the Barn Elms Reach brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. If the tides do not work for your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.
