Drone aerial filming in London can present challenges. Depending on the aircraft weight category and airspace restrictions at the location, additional permissions may apply. But with careful planning drone filming in Central London is possible.
Key to securing permission is for the drone hire company to work closely with Production at the earliest opportunity. For challenging locations, the formal process of seeking approval with the relevant authorities must start weeks in advance. This can include dialogue and guidance from the CAA & NATS, London Air Traffic Control, Met Police, Air Ambulance and London Port Authority etc. Permission can take anything from 24 hours up to 4 weeks – for multi agency support. It’s all in the planning.
Whichever drone hire company you choose, experience providing aerial filming in London and working alongside multiple agencies (including the Security Services), is paramount. Call us to discuss your London shoot today.
We’re very proud that our drones have taken to London’s skies on many occasions over the years.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”SOME OF OUR AIRCRAFT” alignment=”left” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:1em;”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”279″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”none”][ultimate_heading main_heading=”OCTO-copter” main_heading_color=”#005580″ main_heading_font_size=”desktop:30px;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]8 motors, GPS stabilised.
