River Event Filming at Fiddler's Reach

Operations at Fiddler's Reach draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.

We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date at Fiddler's Reach. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. Light on the water changes fast, so we will suggest the state of tide and time of day that suits the subject.

Any Fiddler's Reach operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. Abort criteria are briefed to the crew and the skipper before the first launch.

We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. Contact the operations desk to check dates at Fiddler's Reach and get a written quote. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.
