About | Contact

I am a highly experienced UK-based film drone pilot specialising in feature films, high-end television drama, commercials and premium branded content. With hundreds of hours of commercial flight experience across the UK and internationally, I provide professional drone filming services that combine technical precision, cinematic creativity and the highest standards of aviation safety. I have held professional operational authorisations from the UK Civil Aviation Authority since 2015, building on a background in remote-controlled helicopter flying that began in 2008, and regularly operate industry-leading platforms including the DJI Inspire 3 and Freefly Alta X. What sets me apart is nearly two decades of experience within the camera department as a focus puller, camera operator, remote head technician and camera arm operator, giving me a deep understanding of production workflows and the creative needs of directors, cinematographers and camera crews. From pre-production planning and technical recces through to on-set execution, I deliver aerial cinematography that integrates seamlessly into production, helping crews capture ambitious shots efficiently, safely and with minimal disruption. Based in the UK and available worldwide, I provide specialist drone operations and aerial filming services for the film, television and advertising industries.

I have my own focus pulling equipment and drone platforms.
