River Event Filming at Putney Reach

Specialist over-water river event filming at Putney Reach 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 at Putney Reach. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.

We identify launch and recovery points at Putney Reach that work at the state of tide on the day. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. Kit is checked ashore before anything is committed over water.

Riparian landowners and pier operators at Putney Reach are contacted ahead of the date. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.

Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Get in touch to discuss river event filming at Putney Reach and we will quote without obligation. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does river work at Putney Reach cost?

It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.

Can you launch drones directly from boats at Putney Reach?

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.

Can you film moving vessels at Putney 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.
