Thames Drone Filming at Putney Reach

We run drone operations at Putney Reach throughout the year, in all tide states. Typical briefs cover vessel tracking, riverside development, bridge condition and event coverage. We can attend a pre-start or toolbox meeting where the project requires one.

Flight planning at Putney Reach accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Where bank access is restricted, we scout the approach before the crew and kit arrive.

Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight at Putney Reach. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.

We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.
