Our aerial filming operation has developed significantly from its early beginnings, initially delivering small-scale aerial filming projects and supporting busy production companies, including world-leading architectural practices across central London. Many of our clients within the production industry now take advantage of remote gimbal operation, enabling directors and camera operators to work seamlessly alongside the UAV pilot with intuitive, real-time camera control. Helicammedia supports a wide range of media productions through the use of our DJI drone equipment enabling us to meet specific creative and technical requirements, to suit a variety of production budgets.

In Helicam Media’s early years, aerial filming using RC helicopters played a pivotal role in shaping both the industry and our company’s foundational capabilities. The development of heavy-lift DSLR octocopter platforms, combined with a strong focus on public safety, provided the impetus to transform this early innovation into a customer-driven aerial filming media business. We operate commercially within the UK and internationally where permitted, subject to regulatory approval and individual project requirements. Over the years, Helicam Media has transitioned from self-built aerial platforms to industry-leading systems and continues to focus its filming operations around DJI drone platforms, which provide us with reliable, compliant, and high-performance solutions for professional aerial cinematography.
