Thames Drone Filming in Isleworth

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

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

UAS London delivers thames drone filming in Isleworth on the tidal River Thames. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.

Magnetic interference near steel structures in Isleworth is factored into the flight plan. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. 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. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. We would rather lose a tide and rebook than fly a marginal over-water operation.

Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Isleworth and get a written quote. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?

Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.

What deliverables can you provide from Isleworth?

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.

How much notice do you need for river work in Isleworth?

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.
