COMMERCIAL DRONE SERVICES ACROSS WALES
Professional drone filming and aerial photography South Wales
CAA-qualified, insured aerial video and photography for construction, civil engineering, inspections, property, land, tourism, television, events and marketing. Straightforward planning, safe operation and clean, useful files for projects across Wales and the UK.
Flight planning included
Most of the work happens before take-off. Site, airspace, access, people, weather and the intended shots are assessed so the operation is practical, compliant and productive.
AERIAL COVERAGE WITH A PURPOSE
Show scale, layout and context that ground cameras cannot
Good aerial work is not simply a drone sent into the air. The location, light, weather, airspace, access and final use all affect the views that should be captured and the safest way to capture them.
Drone South Wales provides commercial aerial photography and 4K/6K video for organisations, production teams, developers, engineers, estate agents, tourism businesses and event organisers. Coverage can be a focused single visit, a rapid response when conditions align, or a series of repeat flights showing progress over time.
Files can be supplied as photography, graded video, organised raw footage, inspection imagery or material ready for a wider edit. Tell us the decision, record or marketing task the aerial work needs to support, and the shot plan can be built around it.

Aircraft matched to the job
Two drones we genuinely enjoy flying
Different locations call for different tools. These two aircraft give us a useful balance between high-end image quality and a compact, low-impact approach.
DJI Mavic 4 Pro
The image-quality specialist
01
Beautiful, detailed footage
Crisp 6K material gives landscapes, infrastructure and commercial locations room to breathe in the edit.
02
Flexible camera choices
Its multi-camera system helps us move from a wide establishing view to tighter details without forcing the aircraft too close.
03
Confident commercial coverage
A strong choice when maximum visual quality matters for television, marketing, property and major project work.
DJI Mavic 4 Pro
The compact problem-solver
01
Small and less intrusive
Its compact size makes it well suited to sensitive jobs and tighter environments where a larger aircraft would feel excessive.
02
Quick to deploy
A practical option when a weather window opens or the filming day needs a fast, efficient setup.
03
Professional results without fuss
It gives us clean, useful footage while keeping the operation proportionate to the location and brief.
Customer feedback

DRONE SERVICE FAQ
Practical answers before booking
Every location is different, so the exact site and required views are more useful than a general description alone.
Are you qualified and insured?
Yes. The existing service information confirms GVC and A2 CofC qualifications, CAA-compliant operations and £1m insurance cover as standard, with higher limits available when required.
How quickly can a pilot attend?
Rapid deployment, including within 24 hours, may be possible depending on location, weather, airspace, access and the approvals required. Availability is confirmed after the brief is checked.
What happens if the weather is unsuitable?
Drone work depends on safe visibility, wind and precipitation. If conditions are unsuitable, the flight may need to be rescheduled or the plan adjusted. Quality and safety take priority.
Can you fly near airports or in built-up areas?
Possibly, but every location is assessed individually. Airspace restrictions, people, buildings, take-off areas and required coordination determine what can be done safely and legally.
Do you supply photographs as well as video?
Yes. Projects can include aerial photography, video, inspection imagery or a combination. Confirm the intended use and preferred formats when requesting a quote.
Do you travel outside South Wales?
Yes. The service covers projects across Wales and the UK, with a trusted operator network available for wider programmes.
Need drone footage or aerial photography?
Send the location, preferred dates, time window and the final use you have in mind. You will receive a practical response based on the flight requirements and current availability.
