ALL ABOUT US
Gorilla Drones LTD was established to provide companies exceptional professional services centered around Aerial Photography and Video/Filming, utilising unmanned vehicles (drone systems); we now offer additional ground based and specialist imagery collection and processing services too!
Using our experienced and skilled crew, as well as post-capture processing, we provide our clients with amazing photos and film for their social media and marketing requirements, ensuring it fits within their brand and brief, as well as clear and accurate imagery where needed
We provide services to both the commercial & private sectors, from property, product and attraction marketing & showcasing, utilising both traditional and first person view (FPV) aircraft, to land & property surveying, to multiple inspection services. We provide services to demolition and construction companies, along with developers, to aid with project progression reporting and communications, as well as onsite decision making and safety enforcement. We can send our equipment where you cannot send a human, for example into hazardous environments and we can be used for pretty much any operation that would involve expensive and time consuming traditional surveying & scouting methods, such as cherry pickers and scaffolding or "boots on the ground” tasks; we can even provide farmers and agronomists, agriculture based services for field and plant review, plus general farm site management
Please see some of our services below for more details, however if your operation sits outside these off the shelf services, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us, and being based in Birmingham, West Midlands, we are perfectly placed no matter where you project is located
We are easy to engage with and set extremely high standards to ensure that whilst the operation takes place to gather the required photographic dataset for your project needs, safety to you and your assets are kept right at the top of the priority list
Fully insured to requirement of (EC) 785/2004 and fully endorsed by the CAA with an Operational Authorisation (#UAS6994) to operate commercially within the 'Specific Category' and with an A2 Certificate of Competency (A2CofC) within the 'Open Category), we provide powerful drone imagery and services with safe hands; we additionally have an extended network of operators, which can cater for work that may need extended 'Operational Safety Case' (OSC) exemptions
