London Aerial Photography

10 Metre Permissions

Spider Aerial Filming has now been granted 10 metre and 700 feet CAA permissions for congested areas. 


What does this mean? Less permissions, less hassle and more access. We can now fly as close as 10 metres from person, vehicle, vessel and/or structure outside of our control. We can also fly up to 700 feet in height and we can do all of this day or night! 

Testimonials

Andrew Sheldon, Owner and Creative Director - True North Productions

 “We’ve worked with Spider across a number of series’ that rest on their drone work and just HAVE to look good – and they always deliver on location, when you take their material into the edit, and when it appears on screen.”  

Andy de Emmony, Director – ‘HIM’, Mainstreet Pictures

  I recently had the pleasure of working with Spider Aerial Filming on a high speed car stunt. It was a complicated sequence with multiple stunt drivers. Having seen their impressive showreel we contacted Spider who were confident they could safely keep up with the action, and indeed we got three terrific shots in the sequence. They worked very well integrating with our crew and were very discreet and mindful of the rest of the requirements of the shoot. I hope to work with them again in the future and would recommend them wholeheartedly.”  

Chris Croucher, Producer – ‘Downton Abbey’, Carnival Films

  “Really great shots that added wonderful production value to the show.  I will be sending a Spider drone up again.”    

Balazs Bolygo, bsc hsc, Cinematographer - Harley and the Davidsons

"I’ve used Spider Aerial Filming on a number of occasions as part of complicated stunt sequences as well as the run of the mill aerial work. They work with safety in mind and have integrated with an international crew. I would thoroughly recommend them to any of my future productions." 

Chris Fenton, Creative Director – Dreamteam Television

 

  “Having worked with many of the UKs drone operators, for sports productions for C4, Eurosport, ESPN, Fox and Sky, we have always found Spider to be a cut above the rest. 

Their safety procedures and  professionalism make them a pleasure to work with. They always bring home the shots that you asked for, and more.”
