Are your pilots licensed?

Yes. Our pilots are CAA-certified, we are registered with the Civil Aviation Authority, and every flight is insured.

How much does drone filming cost?

It depends on the location, the permissions needed, the time on site and what you need delivered. Tell us about the job and we'll send a clear quote within 24 hours.

Do you need permission to fly in Glasgow?

Often, yes. Parts of the Glasgow area sit inside the flight restriction zone around Glasgow Airport, and some locations need landowner or council permission. We check every location and arrange whatever's needed.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We watch the forecast in the days before and only fly when it's safe. If wind or rain looks likely to rule out a shoot, we'll talk to you about rescheduling before the day.

Do you work outside Glasgow?

Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland and work across the UK. Any travel costs are set out in your quote.

Send us the date, the place and what you need the footage for. We'll reply within 24 hours with a quote and any questions.
