Commercial Drone Photography & Videography Across the UK
Commission aerial photography and video for property marketing, construction, commercial premises and business communications. Drone Assisted matches your brief with suitable verified pilots and manages the assignment through to delivery.
Aircraft, creative requirements, editing, delivery scope and flight feasibility are matched to each assignment, so the brief drives what is captured and what you receive.
Stills and video
Photographs, aerial footage or both in one assignment, matched to the aircraft and camera capability the brief needs.
Property and marketing focus
Estate agency and property marketing, developments, commercial premises, hotels, estates and business communications.
Brief led deliverables
Viewpoints, image selection, editing, aspect ratios and file formats are agreed for the assignment before capture.
Insured pilots
Pilots are checked for identity, commercial insurance and CAA registration, with job specific qualifications checked where required.
Airspace handled
The pilot carries out airspace checks and holds any authorisation required for the flight, and will flag where a location adds restrictions.
Growing UK network
Capability varies by location, so suitable pilot availability is confirmed for each individual assignment.
How it works
- Step 01
Register your company
Create an account so you can enter requirements and see pricing for the assignment.
- Step 02
Send the brief
Location, site type, stills or video, purpose of the imagery, required viewpoints and any editing requirement.
- Step 03
Availability confirmed
We match suitable pilot capability, then confirm scope, deliverables and expected timescale with you.
- Step 04
Capture and delivery
The site is captured to the agreed brief and the agreed outputs are supplied. Weather may affect scheduling.
Aerial photography
Aerial photography captures a property, site or premises from viewpoints that ground level photography cannot reach. Common requirements include:
- Property and site overview imagery showing the building in its surroundings
- Commercial premises, business parks and residential developments
- Marketing photographs for websites, brochures, listings and press
- Business communications, reports and internal presentations
- Development land, estates, hotels and leisure property
Image selection, editing and delivery are agreed for the assignment, so you know before the flight how many images you receive, in what form and in which formats.
Aerial videography and filming
Aerial video is part of the service, not an afterthought. Footage can be commissioned for:
- Property and business marketing films
- Development and site footage showing scale, access and context
- Commercial event filming where the site, airspace and safety assessment support it
- Website, social and presentation content
Tell us whether you need raw footage or an edited video. Raw footage is supplied as captured, ready for your own editor. An edited video is produced to an agreed length, structure and aspect ratio. Aspect ratios, editing scope and intended use are confirmed in the brief, because aircraft, camera capability and post production experience vary across the network.
Property photography and video
Property marketing is one of the most common reasons customers commission aerial media. The service supports:
- Estate agents and property marketing teams
- Residential developments and new build schemes
- Commercial property and investment marketing
- Hotels, leisure properties and estates
- Building presentation and the surrounding context, including plot, grounds, access and setting
Where a listing needs both stills and a short film, both can be captured on the same visit, subject to the aircraft and time on site agreed in the brief.
Construction imagery
One off aerial imagery of a construction site can support marketing, stakeholder updates and completed development photography once a scheme finishes.
Where you need the same site captured repeatedly through a build, that is a different requirement. Recurring progress capture is covered by our construction progress monitoring service, which agrees viewpoints, frequency and delivery once and applies them to every visit.
What the customer receives
Deliverables differ by type of output:
- Photographs, supplied as agreed image files
- Footage, supplied as captured clips where an edit is not required
- Edited deliverables, such as a finished video or edited imagery, where the edit is agreed in the brief
Your quote and agreed brief confirm the photographs or video supplied, quantities, file formats, editing and usage rights.
What affects the price
After you register, the booking system asks for the requirements that determine the assignment. The main factors are:
- Location and travel
- Site size and complexity
- Photography, video, or both
- Required viewpoints and time on site
- Editing requirement and deliverable formats
- Repeat visits or a single visit
- Airspace, site restrictions and access
- Intended usage
Pricing for your specific brief is shown in your account once your requirements are entered. For general market context, see the UK drone pilot price guide.
Photography, inspection, survey or mapping?
Aerial photography and video create visual imagery. Where you need measurements, condition evidence or spatial data, a different assignment type applies:
- Drone surveying for site, land and measurement focused capture.
- Drone mapping for orthomosaics, three dimensional models and other spatial outputs.
- Drone inspection services for condition evidence of buildings, roofs and assets.
- Construction progress monitoring for repeat imagery of the same site over time.
How Drone Assisted assesses media enquiries
Drone Assisted operates a growing UK wide network of independent pilots with different aircraft, cameras and creative experience. Each enquiry is assessed against location, required outputs, pilot experience, aircraft and camera capability, relevant operating requirements and availability.
Specialist capability, including higher end cinematography and post production, is confirmed for each individual assignment. Check pilot availability if you are not sure which service you need.
Frequently asked questions
Can I book photographs, video or both?
Both. An assignment can be briefed as stills only, video only, or stills and video together. Tell us which you need when you enter your requirements, because the aircraft, camera and time on site are matched to the brief.
Can you provide edited video?
Edited video can be included where it is agreed in the brief. Some assignments are delivered as captured footage, others include an agreed edit. Editing scope, length, aspect ratios and music or graphics are confirmed for the assignment before it proceeds.
What details should I include in my brief?
Location and site type, whether you need photographs, video or both, the purpose of the imagery, any required viewpoints, the intended use, your editing requirement, your deadline and site access information. If you do not have a full specification, describe the result you want and we will assess suitable pilot capability.
What usage rights will I receive?
Usage rights, licensing and ownership are agreed as part of the assignment and are governed by the contractual position for that job rather than a blanket policy. Tell us how the imagery will be used, for example website, advertising, press or property marketing, so the correct arrangement is confirmed before capture.
How are weather and scheduling handled?
Aerial capture is affected by wind, rain, visibility, cloud, light and site conditions, and light quality matters on property and marketing work. Where conditions are unsuitable for safe operation or for the required visual result, the visit is rescheduled.
How do I access pricing?
Create a company account, then enter your requirements in the booking system to see pricing for the assignment. Account approval applies before booking, and bespoke assignments may be quoted individually.
