Thames Brand Activation Filming at Putney Reach

Specialist over-water thames brand activation filming at Putney Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

UAS London covers Putney Reach as part of our tidal Thames operating area. Typical briefs cover vessel tracking, riverside development, bridge condition and event coverage. Stills and video come from the same tide window rather than two separate mobilisations.

Flight planning at Putney Reach accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. We can work outside normal hours where river traffic or light demands it.

PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for Putney Reach are handled in-house. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. We would rather lose a tide and rebook than fly a marginal over-water operation.

Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. We can hold a provisional tide window while you confirm internally.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tide affect a shoot at Putney Reach?

Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Putney Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.

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.

How much notice do you need for river work at Putney 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.
