Mission

Our mission is to offer smooth, cinematic filming from a unique perspective, at a price you can afford. We work hard to maintain our position as one of the best drone filming and photography companies in the UK and Ireland. We invest in the best equipment we can and then put it in the hands of our expert pilots who will listen to your needs and make sure you get your shots. Our cameramen are there to make sure that you not only get the shot, but that it comes out smooth, precise and cinematic.
We’ve worked in many industries – film, television, entertainment, live sports cover, live Outdoor Broadcast, engineering, inspections and mapping – our team and our drones are here to make your life easy.

Equipment

Our state of the art drones are guided by GPS, carrying cameras that are gyroscopically stabilised, shooting footage up to 4K and transmitting and zero-latency HD feed to our daylight viewable monitor on the ground. You won’t miss any of the action and you won’t believe the footage you get either.

Safety

At Skyline, safety is our priority – we never take risks involving people’s lives or equipment. To allow us to operate and keep up with client’s visions we’re routinely training and annually update our certifications.

We operate under the BNUC-S license and are certified and approved with the CAA and the IAA which cover aerial operations in the UK and Ireland respectively and are a legal requirement. Skyline is fully insured for aerial operations.

LEADING THE FIELD

Our aerial platforms which carry our cameras are state-of-the-art, custom designed and built from the ground up, specifically for our (and your) aerial video and photography needs. In the air and on the ground, our components are revolutionary – allowing us to keep up with your creative vision .

QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS

All Skyline staff operate under the BNUC-S license – a legal requirement for remote aerial filming and photography in the UK. Our staff are also certified and approved with the CAA and IAA allowing us to operate legally throughout the UK and Ireland. We also work with clients from all over the world.

QUALITY OF WORK

With our in-house 50Mbps Full-HD capable Canon C300 for video, and our industry-respected 22.3 megapixel Canon 5D Mark III for still photography and inspections, Skyline provides some of the highest quality for aerial cinematography and photography available anywhere.

CINEMATOGRAPHY

We’ve provided stunning HD aerial footage to a range of clients. We’ve worked on everything from indie music videos and web shorts to broadcast TV and feature films.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Our aerial solution allows us to photograph everything from residential and commercial properties for estate agents, to aerial time-lapse and progress photos. We’re as comfortable in a boat off the coast shooting tourism shots as we are taking off on the roof of a building.

Aerial Filming
Our aerial system was designed specifically with aerial photography and filming in mind. Our in-house Canon C300 delivers broadcast quality HD footage while our downlink to the ground lets you see exactly what the camera sees. This allows you to ensure we’re capturing the shots that you want and if you do have any feedback, you can pass it onto the pilot and cameraman standing next to you!

We also offer 4K aerial filming using our in house Panasonic GH4 or our DJI Inspire 1 Pro. Both of these systems use a mic 4/3 size sensor which is over 8 times larger than that of a GoPro. This allows us to offer sharp, cinematic 4K footage that is broadcast with perfect quality to a monitor on the ground for you to view in real time while we record.

We’ve worked everywhere from closed sets, to mountain tops and from hot summer days to industrial freezers. We understand what it’s like to work under weather and time constraints and even from before dawn to after dusk. No matter what your project is, we’d love to tackle the challenge along with you.

Aerial Photography
The combination of our 5D mkIII and our custom UAVs allows us to capture crisp, high detailed images from unique perspectives. Whether we’re doing a low altitude survey over ground that can’t be disturbed or providing a vertical view over a large area, our systems are kept stable by complex computing involving inputs from multiple on board sensors – this simply means that the copter is kept as stable as possible at all times, meaning you won’t get a blurry or slightly out of focus shot.

Aerial 360 Panoramas
We are extremely proud to be offering interactive aerial panoramas as of the beginning of 2014. Using professional Canon DSLRs combined with our unique and incredibly accurate UAVs, we are able to create incredibly high detailed and immersive images. Our panoramas allow you to zoom in and out, look around in every directions, click hotspots to move to another location and more.

Production Services
Alongside offering gorgeous aerial footage, we also produce a wide range of videos for our clients. Whether you’re promoting your business or shooting a music video, we can produce a full piece on your behalf.
