Aerial Video in Dorset - CAA License

As part of my ongoing commitment to providing a unique, professional and efficient service in Weymouth, Dorset, Southern England and the rest of Britain, since 2015 I have been offering full 4K aerial video and photography services in Dorset and the UK.

This required a large amount of time, investment and official hoops that needed to be jumped through. The procedures included attending and completing the courses and exams set by the CAA which are a requirement for legally flying the drones commercially.

For more than 3 years now, I have been a qualified BNUC-s pilot with full insurance (including £5 million public and property indemnity). I have all the relevant licenses in place from the Civil Aviation Authority to shoot commercially.

Manpower

As well as myself, I have access to a professional, dedicated and highly skilled team to deal with just about anything you need for your business. We shoot aerial:

We can integrate your aerial footage and into longer commercial, event or existing videos on the day. Please check out some sample footage above and contact us to discuss any projects you may have coming up in the future.

Drones and the UK Laws

We use high tech drones (UAV's or “unmanned Aerial Vehicles) with up to 4K RAW/1080p high definition cameras. These shoot with varying frame rates and are able to fly these anywhere in the UK whilst abiding by the following restrictions set out by the CAA.

  • Maximum range of 500m horizontally
  • Maximum height of 400ft
  • Over or within 150 metres of any congested area
  • Over or within 150 metres of an organised open-air assembly of more than 1,000 persons;
  • Within 50 metres of any vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the control of the person in charge of the aircraft
  • Within 50 metres of any person except during take-off or landing, the aircraft must not be flown within 30 metres of any person except for the pilot
  • No flying with 5km of any airport without prior consent and permission

The reason we use UAV’s (drone’s) and not a full scale helicopter or plane is simply the cost. The more we can save on the outlay, the more you save on our services. The footage remains the same high quality either way. In fact, the footage from a UAV can be way more dramatic and exciting! I am able to manoeuvre it into so many more different and unique perspectives.

Other Relevant Information

Obviously filming aerial video takes a certain amount of skill, training and experience. Prior to any commercial contracts being undertaken, a full scale safety brief and flight check is necessary in order to abide by the CAA regulations covering things such as:

  • Location
  • Flight time
  • Flight duration
  • Altitude to be flown
  • Weather conditions
  • Number of people present
  • Payload (weight of camera gear)

Plus a log of each flight will also be documented which will include all of the above.

We work all of the south coast of England…Weymouth and Dorset (and beyond) including Exeter, Devon, Salisbury, Bristol, Bath, Poole, Bournemouth, Southampton, Brighton, Kent and pretty much the whole of the UK.

Areas Covered

We are happy to travel anywhere in the UK or Europe but we're based around and closest to: Dorset, Devon, Hampshire, Somerset, Sussex, Kent and London.

Aerial Video Dorset Prices

Prices for work vary depending on the location and UAV used and start from £250 for two hours (including local travel). All prices below include the completion of all relevant paperwork such as pre-site and on-site surveys, risk assessments, aviation traffic checks and so on. They also include all images and video clips with rights to edit, publish and use anywhere.

Please note:

If you use a NON-licensed, NON-qualified pilot for commercial work and something goes wrong (and the blades of a UAV can do serious bodily harm), both you and the pilot could be liable for damages. Please ensure that you do your homework on any pilots you are thinking of hiring.

The majority of the work we do requires just one operator. In order to keep costs down, a member of your staff can act as "spotter". This is simply to look out for low flying aircraft, birds or general public that tend to flock towards the drone at times. We use two pilots for more complicated work where one pilot will fly and the other will operate the camera. We can also have two pilots flying at the same time if required.
