Cinematic aerial footage, high-resolution photography and visual inspection imagery for businesses, property, construction, events and commercial productions across the UK.
A camera on the ground shows you what is happening. A camera in the air shows you where it is happening, how everything connects and the true scale of the story.
From revealing a construction project in its wider landscape to following movement through an event, introducing a location or adding scale to a commercial film, aerial cinematography can completely change the way a production feels.
And because drone filming is part of our wider production service, it doesn’t need to look like somebody simply dropped a few aerial clips into your video.
We shoot it as part of the story.
01
Drone filming
Movement. Scale. Context.
Cinematic aerial footage for corporate films, advertising, property, events, tourism, infrastructure, agriculture and branded content.
From sweeping establishing shots to carefully controlled tracking movements, we plan aerial footage around the wider production rather than treating it as an afterthought.
High-resolution aerial photographs can reveal the relationship between a building, site, landscape or event in a way ground-level photography simply cannot.
Ideal for property marketing, venues, construction, development sites, websites, brochures, social media and commercial campaigns.
Clear visual records of roofs, structures, land and construction progress, without needing to position a camera operator at height.
We provide high-quality visual photography and video for your team or appointed specialist to review.
Visual imagery, rather than structural engineering analysis, LiDAR, thermal surveying or specialist survey conclusions, unless specifically arranged through an appropriate specialist.
Sometimes you only need aerial footage. But often, the best results come from combining it with everything happening on the ground.
The Camera Guys can provide videography, photography and drone coverage within the same production, giving you one team, one brief and footage designed to work together in the final edit.
Cinematic footage, landscapes, property and commercial productions.
DJI Mini 4 Pro
Small aircraft. Serious image.
A compact platform for carefully planned filming and photography.
DJI Avata
When conventional isn’t enough.
For immersive, dynamic movement and creative perspectives.
We choose the aircraft around the location and shot — not the other way around.
MORE THAN A DRONE OPERATOR
GREAT SHOTS. NO SHORTCUTS.
Every flight starts before the drone leaves the ground.
We assess the location, airspace, nearby people and property, access, weather conditions and the footage required before deciding how a flight can be carried out safely and legally.

Drone flights depend on suitable wind, visibility, precipitation and other operating conditions.
We’ll keep an eye on the forecast before your shoot and, where aerial coverage is critical to the project, discuss contingency options with you.
For productions involving both ground and aerial filming, we can often continue with other coverage even if conditions temporarily prevent flying.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
THE ANSWERS YOU NEED.
Can you fly a drone anywhere?+
No. We check airspace, the location, nearby people and property, access and any necessary permissions before confirming a flight. Send us the postcode or What3Words location and the shots you have in mind.
Are you licensed to fly commercially?+
UK rules are based on the risk and type of flight, rather than a separate commercial drone licence. We plan work under the applicable CAA rules, with the required registration, pilot competence, insurance and any operational authorisation needed for the flight.
Can you fly in towns and built-up areas?+
Sometimes. It depends on the aircraft, airspace, operating category, nearby people and the specific location. We assess the proposed shots and any permissions needed before confirming what is possible.
Can you film at events?+
Yes, where a safe, compliant flight can be planned with the organiser and venue. Crowds and nearby people can limit the shots available. Filming over a crowd is not part of a standard booking; we agree a suitable approach before the event.
What happens if the weather is bad?+
We review the forecast before the shoot and assess conditions on site. If it is unsuitable to fly, we discuss revised timings or another date. Where ground filming is also booked, we can often continue that coverage while waiting for suitable conditions.
Do you provide drone surveys?+
We provide visual inspection and progress photography and video for your team or appointed specialist to review. Structural assessments, measured surveys, LiDAR, thermal analysis and specialist survey conclusions are not included unless specifically arranged through an appropriate specialist.
Can you combine drone filming with normal video?+
Yes. We can plan aerial footage, interviews, ground-level filming and photography as one production, with the right crew and schedule for the brief. The footage is captured to work together in the final edit.
Do you provide the raw drone footage?+
Yes, raw footage can be included by agreement. Tell us before the shoot so we can confirm the recording format, file transfer and any editing or delivery requirements in your quote.
