About Aerial Craft

Professional drone filming for productions that cannot afford compromise

Aerial Craft provides professional drone filming for film, television, live broadcast and commercial productions across the UK.

Founded by industry professionals working at the highest level of production, Aerial Craft is built around a simple principle: be part of the team and deliver the shot. We understand the unique pressures of a film set, allowing us to capture exactly what’s needed without ever disrupting the flow of the day.

This is not generic drone work. It is production-ready aerial cinematography designed for real shooting environments, real schedules and real pressure.

Built for production

Aerial Craft works as part of the camera department, not as an external add-on. That means understanding how sets work, how schedules move, and how to deliver aerial shots that support the wider production rather than slow it down.

Whether the requirement is a fast turnaround TV drama shot, a cinema-grade heavy-lift move, a live broadcast setup or specialist VFX capture, the approach is always the same: calm, prepared and reliable.
