I'm a skilled freelance drone operator with full CAA Open Authorisation with permission to fly commercially (formerly PfCO) and an updated GVC certification. I prioritize safety and responsibility, backed by comprehensive drone liability insurance. My drone fleet includes various DJI Mavic models, ensuring versatility in aerial filming.
My expertise extends from meticulous pre-flight planning and risk assessments to thorough pre-flight checks, flying operations, and delivering captivating aerial footage. As a cameraman and videographer, I possess a keen eye for composition, enabling me to capture and produce cinematic video films that stand out.
I often find that integrating a drone into a standard cameraman shoot can be immensely beneficial, particularly when we require additional B-Roll shots to elevate the production's visual appeal. I firmly believe in the 'less is more' approach, acknowledging that drones should be used judiciously. However, in the right context, they can significantly lift (pun intended) the production's overall value.
My drone arsenal boasts multiple high-performance models, such as the DJI Mavic Pro 3 and DJI Mavic Air 2S, along with an array of batteries and ND filters. For larger or specialized drones, I can arrange rentals to cater to specific project requirements. Moreover, I provide wireless client viewing options, allowing directors to monitor the aerial shots in real-time. In cases where camera operation is needed, I can bring a dedicated payload operator to ensure precise control and coordination.
I work across the UK, including Sussex, Kent and South East England and regularly travel further north to the home counties, Yorkshire and Cumbria for drone filming.
