Thames Drone Filming at Mortlake Reach
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Mortlake Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our thames drone filming team is authorised and equipped for operations at Mortlake Reach. 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.
We survey the Mortlake Reach bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
Any Mortlake Reach operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.
Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. Contact our marine desk with the Mortlake Reach brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you film moving vessels at Mortlake Reach?
Yes. Vessel tracking is a large part of our river work, from towage and workboat operations to passenger craft. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and line of sight while the camera operator holds the shot.
Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
How much notice do you need for river work at Mortlake Reach?
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.
