Thames Brand Activation Filming in Gravesend
Specialist over-water thames brand activation filming at Gravesend for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
UAS London covers Gravesend as part of our tidal Thames operating area. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. We quote per project, because a river job depends far more on access and tide than on the service name.
Flight planning in Gravesend accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. Light on the water changes fast, so we will suggest the state of tide and time of day that suits the subject.
Notices to mariners are checked before any Gravesend flight, and radio watch is kept during it. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Send us the dates and the shot list and we will tell you which tides are viable. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice do you need for river work in Gravesend?
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.
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.
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Gravesend?
Yes. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we have access to MCA-coded workboats and support vessels, and our pilots are experienced in launching and recovering from a moving deck.
