River Event Filming in Isleworth

Specialist over-water river event filming at Isleworth for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Our river event filming team is authorised and equipped for operations in Isleworth. We work for towage operators, passenger vessel companies, civil contractors and production teams. Repeat work in Isleworth keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.

Every flight in Isleworth is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.

Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. Where the public has access to the foreshore, the plan accounts for them explicitly.

Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who owns the footage from the Isleworth shoot?

Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.

Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Isleworth?

Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Isleworth, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.

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.
