Aerial coverage for events & property launches.

Corporate events, festivals, property launches and community shows — graded aerial stills and video, flown legally and safely closer to the action than standard permissions allow.

Why aerial coverage

Built for crowds, not just landscapes.

Event footage brings constraints a landscape survey never has to think about — people, schedules and airspace.

Legally closer to the crowd

Two qualifications cover this between them: an A2 Certificate of Competency for reduced separation from uninvolved people in the Open Category, and a CAA PDRA01 operational authorisation — held on a General VLOS Certificate — for Specific Category work. Between them we can work closer to uninvolved people and property than standard rules allow, choosing whichever route fits the site. Flights are planned to hold safe separation throughout, never directly over an assembly.

An angle no ground camera has

Scale, layout and atmosphere read differently from above — crowd size, site layout and the wider setting all in one frame. Shot on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro, with a sub-250g Mini 4 Pro for tighter sites.

Flight windows planned around the event programme, not the other way round — in and out without disrupting what's happening on the ground.

Who it's for

Four kinds of brief.

Different audiences, different deliverables — same planning and permissions behind all of them.

CORPORATE
Conferences, launches & company daysI planned and delivered corporate events before I flew them, so I know what the footage is actually for — marketing, internal comms, showing a sponsor the turnout. The flight gets planned around the programme, not through the middle of it.
LIVE MUSIC
Festivals & outdoor venuesStage, crowd scale and the site in context, including after dark — see the Strings Festival coverage below.
PROPERTY
Launches & development marketingThe building, its setting and its access in a single frame, for brochures, listings and investor material.
COMMUNITY
Shows, regattas & village eventsSmaller-scale coverage with the same flight planning and airspace checks behind it.
