Thames Drone Filming in Kew

We work in Kew regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. Stills and video come from the same tide window rather than two separate mobilisations.

Planning in Kew starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Where bank access is restricted, we scout the approach before the crew and kit arrive.

Riparian landowners and pier operators in Kew are contacted ahead of the date. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.

Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. 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.
