Who Are We?
UK Aerial Drones
UK Aerial Drones is a division of Golden Planet Studios Ltd; a professional production studio providing aerial videography, photography, topography scanning, mapping, special effects & studio film / TV / audio editing services. We pride ourselves on quality. Quality in our preparation, planning, practice & production. We pay attention to the detail, so you don’t have to. You can be confident from start to finish and we’re here to help you along the way.
We understand how important your project is to you, with access to industry leading technology we deliver top results every time. Flight Operations benefiting from features such as target tracking & follow, obstacle avoidance, radiometric thermal surveys, topographical surveys, terrain mapping and much more!
From public events to industrial commercial operations, we have you covered.
Aerial Video & Photography
Television & Film Production Footage
When it comes to aerial videography for TV or Film productions, we understand how important the composition and output quality must be. There is difference between capturing aerial footage and the ability to capture the perfect scene. Aerial Videography ability, craftsmanship & technique is not something that is learnt overnight. Our pilots follow an additional internal Filming in Flight training program which practices pilots on a range of manoeuvres & filming techniques including target tracking, rotational observation, flyovers and more. This ensures competency, steady flying and quality output for every project. There is nothing worse than a bad camera operator!
We make use of rotational charging technology to allow for almost limitless flight-time, so we can capture as many scenes / takes as required.
In addition to Film training, all pilots complete the General VLOS Certification (GVC). The GVC is comprised of a theoretical examination and a practical flight test, which are both conducted at an RAE (Recognised Assessment Entity) facility. As part of commercial operations all pilots are required hold an additional approval from the CAA known as an operational authorisation or PfCO.
Thermal Imaging Surveys
Radiometric Thermal Data Analytics
Find heat loss, missing insulation, damaged roofing and air leakage with our advanced thermal imaging property surveys. We quickly find air leakage, thermal bridging and cold areas in residential and commercial buildings. All residential and commercial building thermal imaging surveys are in accordance with BS EN ISO 13187 and BRE 176.
Topographical Surveys
2D & 3D Land Survey Models & Diagrams
In addition to aerial videography we offer professional services specialising in aerial topographic survey data collection. We survey your site or project with the best-in-class technology. Aerial survey methods are safe and cost-efficient.
Our survey outputs are comprehensive, accurate and can provide information for the surveying of land, buildings, construction sites, quarries, mines and highways etc.
We can provide both 3D textured mesh land survey models and 2D contour & point-grid survey drawings.
