Thames Drone Filming at Coldharbour Reach
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Coldharbour Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
If your project sits at Coldharbour Reach, we can plan and fly it with the river permissions already in place. 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.
Where the Coldharbour Reach flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.
Riparian landowners and pier operators at Coldharbour Reach are contacted ahead of the date. 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. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. If the tides do not work for your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tide affect a shoot at Coldharbour Reach?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Coldharbour Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
What deliverables can you provide from Coldharbour Reach?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
