I’m based in Norwich, Norfolk offering my drone video and photo services to the whole of East Anglia: Norfolk. Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire.
Being a broadcast and digital videographer / cameraman, with 30+ years in the industry creating TV and digital content for 1000s of various projects, I can help with the creation of your aerial video footage, along with photographs.
How it works
I’ll carry out a free site survey of the location where you would like your drone flight. I’ll highlight any risks, from air space to obstacles.
When I send your site survey results, I’ll include my bespoke quotation.
I’ll create the legally required risk assessments, method statement, and where needed, flight plan and contacting the authorises.
I’ll arrive at the location and set up ready for take off, capturing your video and photo content.
Where need, I will have a drone observer present with me, to ensure we are working in accordance to CAA regulations.
Once the footage has been backed-up, I’ll upload the footage on my online storage account and share a simple, and easy, download link.
I have the up-to-date certification from the Civil Aviation Authority that makes my drone flights safe and legal.
I guarantee, my drone flights, and content recorded, are legal for use.
I take care of all pre-flight planning, from my Civil Aviation Authorises risk assessments, air space checks to planning with Air Traffic Control, local authorities and maintaining the legally required logs.
My preparation will ensure your drone flights are legal, and most importantly safe for you, other airspace users and members of the public and the surroundings.

Do you need the ‘Specific category’ license to use a drone in the UK?
If you don’t have the Specific category license you are very restricted in what you can do, and rightfully so.
The licensing is there not only to educate but also to protect the public, property and surroundings.
I’m licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority with Operation Authorisation with:
– General Visual Line of Sight Certificate (GVC) in the Specific category
– A2 Certificate of Competence (A2 CofC)
I also hold an Operator and Flyer ID.
All of my certifications allow me to do more in the air – safe & legal.
I’m trained to the CAA standards to ensure I’m are #DroneSafe.
I have a drone of less than 250g, can I fly anywhere?
It’s a myth that if a drone is under 250g it’s exempt from the rules and regulations. The user may not need an Operator or Flyer ID, but they are very much restricted as to what they can do and where.
If you have a drone under 250g, I highly recommended you get the bare minimum of an Operator and Flyer ID. Obtaining these will teach you the safe use of your drone.
What are the filming formats?
