If you are thinking of using helicopter or drone aerial filming it does require planning from an early stage to take full advantage of the aerial filming time.

There are strict safety procedures to follow and good communication is necessary between the director, pilot, camera operator and any ground staff. Therefore, it’s essential you choose a highly experienced and knowledgeable supplier.

Aerial Camera Systems (ACS) have a reputation for exceptional aerial filming in the UK and abroad. Our range of filming options continues to grow and our dedicated award winning in-house aerial unit co-ordinates and films aerial projects world-wide.

An expansive range of industries are making use of aerial filming. These visual mediums enable you to showcase your business or event, and engage with your consumers and visitors in a highly exceptional way. It’s no wonder that aerial filming, 360° video and drone filming have gained such wide acclaim over the years as they assist in delivering some stunning footage.

Aerial Camera Systems (ACS) are experts in the preparation and execution of aerial filming projects so can, if necessary, guide you through the process. Studying detail ahead of time helps, such as postcodes, or map references can help. They can be plotted onto specialised aviation charts, potential airspace conflicts identified and your objective achieved with less flying time.

Understanding the granular nature of filming locations also ensures the right aircraft, equipment and people are assigned to a task. Shooting in a city, or in a village, over water, or mountains, in the daytime, or at night are not the same.

The key to getting great aerial footage is planning, using an experienced operator who has filming experience and ensuring all aspects of the flight will be legal and in accordance with the relevant Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) or International equivalent.
