We Use The Best Drones
& 4K Cameras

We primarily use DJI professional drones with Hasselblad lenses and post production video enhancements.
BEACHES, WATERWAYS AND BOUNDARIES
Accessing a hard-to-access environment from the sky reduces accessibility issues, de-risks any situation, allows fast assessment of storm damage and provides factual information for wide range of projects.
AGRICULTURE, ESTATES & FORESTRY
Aerial videography and photography allow for a wide range of assessments, risk reduction and planning activities. Thick woodland can be hard to access and drone footage can provide invaluable information fast.
PROPERTY, ROOFS & DEVELOPMENTS
An aerial video tour of your property is a very powerful marketing tool for all real estate scenarios. Roof and steeple photography from above is an invaluable tool to ensure your property is not only fit for purpose but also reduces the cost of repair when damage or water ingress is suspected without the immediate need for scaffolding.

NORTHERN DRONE SERVICESWe Capture Objects And Spaces from the Air

Using our DJI 4K+ drones, we capture video from the air up to 120 m (400 feet) from the ground in all landscapes and safe environments that allow drone flights. We follow all CAA safety legislation carefully at all times and follow strict H&S procedures.

We Offer Innovative Aerial Video
& Content

We grew up in and understand the ever-changing UK northern landscapes and the many challenges of living here, including the ever-changing weather, communities, the agriculture and farming, history, access and the seasons.
FLIGHT TIME
Drones tend to run on 30 minute specialist Lipo battery packs and therefore a project may include a number of consecutive flight operations to achieve the required result.
WEATHER
Drones do not operate safely in rain or wind and therefore at all times we take into account the climate and local weather conditions whilst always putting safety first in every operation. Projects may need to be rescheduled at short notice where the weather is an issue.
AERIAL VIDEO
To operate a commercial drone you need a CAA certified pilot. The results of training and flight time experience speak for themselves
AERIAL IMAGES
Unless you own a helicopter, aerial photos are impossible to obtain. A CAA commercial drone pilot brings years of experience to shoot high quality images that meet your project requirements.
