River Event Filming in Tilbury

We run drone operations in Tilbury throughout the year, in all tide states. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. We can attend a pre-start or toolbox meeting where the project requires one.

Operations in Tilbury are timed to the tide and to gaps in commercial river traffic. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. We bring spare airframes; a single failure should not end a tide-limited shoot.

Notices to mariners are checked before any Tilbury flight, and radio watch is kept during it. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. We would rather lose a tide and rebook than fly a marginal over-water operation.

We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. We can assess the Tilbury site before you book if the feasibility is not obvious. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.
