Thames Drone Filming at Corney Reach
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Corney Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We run drone operations at Corney Reach throughout the year, in all tide states. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.
Where the Corney Reach flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. Flights are kept tight, because on the river loiter time costs you the tide rather than buying better footage.
We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations at Corney Reach. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. Where the public has access to the foreshore, the plan accounts for them explicitly.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Send us the dates and the shot list and we will tell you which tides are viable. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the job starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at Corney Reach?
Often, yes, and it is usually cheaper. It depends on landowner permission, a clear take-off and landing area, and whether the subject stays within safe range from shore. We will tell you which approach the shot actually needs.
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.
