Our Expert Approach

From The Beginning

We are here to help you plan, prepare, and safely integrate drones into your production or project, providing expert knowledge from a team with years of experience in creating award-winning aerial film and photography. From your first phone call to final delivery, we ensure you can maximise the potential of our drones for your next film, photoshoot, or survey. Our commitment to delivering industry-leading drone services is what sets CloudVisual apart from the competition.

World-Class Cameras & Drones

Our fleet of drones are built using the world's most trusted equipment and industry-leading onboard intelligent flight controllers. Clients have access to a wide range of cameras and technologies, with filming capabilities of up to CinemaDNG 5.2K RAW and 40MP RAW photos. Our drones can also be used for live TV, featuring an 4K link with extremely low latency. With a flight time of up to 40 minutes, we carry enough batteries to complete any aerial task, complemented by rapid drone charging facilities.

Safety, Certification & Planning

Safety is paramount at CloudVisual. Every drone is meticulously assembled on site and undergoes comprehensive pre-flight checks. Our method statements are tailored to each task, ensuring the highest standards of operational safety. Additionally, we are covered by £10m Public Liability and Indemnity insurance and hold the CAA Operational Authorisation, OSC and an A2 Certificate of Competency – all essential for legally operating commercial drones in UK airspace.
