River Event Filming at Chiswick Reach
Specialist over-water river event filming at Chiswick Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work at Chiswick Reach regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. We can attend a pre-start or toolbox meeting where the project requires one.
Every flight at Chiswick Reach is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.
Any Chiswick Reach operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. Nothing goes up until the paperwork, the tide plan and the brief agree with each other.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
How much notice do you need for river work at Chiswick Reach?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
