Drone Discovery (Dan) have been absolutely amazing with us. Moving away from the standard school website videos is always a risk, but we couldn't be happier with the final result. The video encapsulates everything that is special about our school and I would recommend Drone Discovery unreservedly to any other schools or businesses. Drone Discovery really is looking into the future! More...

Working with Dan and Zoe of Drone Discovery has made what initially felt like a big project into one that was completely manageable and enjoyable. From the initial meeting through the planning stage and ultimately the filming days, their hard work and creativity were much appreciated. Easy to get along with and flexible when circumstances dictated, they were consummate professionals. The output looks great, and we are already planning two more projects with them. More...

Dan from drone discovery came and did a roof inspection at a business property of ours. He provided detailed footage of the roof and enabled the roofers to diagnose the problems and provide a quote for repairs, without first having to get a scaffold just to determine the problem. He was punctual, polite and I would definitely use his company again. More...

Our local scout hall required some work on the roof and Dan at Drone Discovery was, not only able to provide great shots of the entire roof he used his experience to highlight where the potential issues may have been which was a great help for us in the next phase of repairs. I can’t recommend Drone Discovery enough, Dan was professional, thoughtful and went above and beyond what we needed. Thank you. More...

These mills are of great historical value to the city of derby and have been operating since the year dot. The local handyman is of particular interest and will keep you talking about absolute rubbish for hours so if I were you pal if you see him. .....run the other way! Also to note be very weary on visiting if there has been alot of rainfall as the river situated next door is quite partial to abit of flooding but other than that there's a number of gyms, couple of wine bars for all you posh lot. One place you must never forgot pal is the land of rugs......they do some absolutely spiffing carpet munching deals 🤪 More...

What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about being a drone pilot for videography and photography is the unique perspective it offers. Capturing breathtaking aerial shots that would otherwise be impossible from the ground adds a whole new dimension to visual storytelling. The freedom to explore landscapes, properties, and events from above allows for endless creativity, and seeing the world from that vantage point is always awe-inspiring. Plus, the blend of technology and artistry keeps things exciting, as there’s always something new to learn and capture.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Starting my own drone videography and photography business was driven by a passion for both technology and creativity. The idea of combining cutting-edge drone technology with my love for capturing stunning visuals from unique angles really excited me. I realised that drones could offer a fresh, dynamic perspective in filmmaking and photography that was still relatively new at the time.
The freedom to work on a variety of projects—from property marketing to construction, to venues and events—while being my own boss and pushing creative boundaries felt like the perfect fit. Plus, seeing the growing demand for high-quality aerial content inspired me to take the leap and turn my skills into a business that could help others tell their stories in a visually impactful way.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose Drone Discovery for their drone videography and photography needs because we bring a unique combination of technical expertise, creativity, and dedication to delivering the highest quality results.
We take the time to understand each client’s vision and tailor our services to their specific needs, whether it's for property, events, construction, or creative projects. Our commitment to using state-of-the-art equipment ensures that clients receive crisp, high-definition footage, and our attention to detail ensures that every angle, lighting condition, and movement is carefully considered to create a final product that stands out.
Additionally, we pride ourself on reliability, professionalism, and clear communication. Clients can trust that we’ll be fully dedicated to their project from start to finish, providing a seamless, worry-free experience.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, we can provide drone videography and photography services online or remotely, depending on the project needs. While the actual filming requires an on-site presence for aerial work, many other aspects of the service can be handled remotely:
Pre-production Consultation: We can discuss your vision, project requirements, and goals over video calls, phone, or email. This helps us fully understand your needs before heading to the shoot location.
Remote Project Planning: We can create detailed flight plans, shot lists, and schedules remotely after reviewing location information, ensuring that everything is aligned with your vision before we arrive on-site.
File Sharing and Review: After the shoot, we can provide high-quality video and photo files via secure online platforms like cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.). You can review the footage from anywhere in the world and provide feedback digitally.
Post-Production: We offer remote editing services for video footage, including colour grading, sound design, and special effects, which can be reviewed and adjusted according to your preferences. The entire post-production process can be handled remotely, with regular communication to ensure the final product meets your expectations.
This flexibility allows us to work with clients from all over, regardless of their location, making it easy to collaborate even if you're not on-site.
Aerial Photography
Our aerial drone photography services capture stunning images from above. Utilising the latest in drone technology, our skilled pilots and photographers deliver high-quality aerial photographs that showcase your subject in an entirely new light. Whether you need to capture expansive landscapes, intricate property layouts, or detailed site inspections, our drone photography services offer unparalleled clarity and perspective.
Aerial Videography
Our video drone photography services provide a dynamic and immersive way to capture stunning footage from the sky. Leveraging the latest drone technology, our skilled pilots and videographers create high-definition videos that bring your projects, properties, and events to life. Whether you need cinematic marketing videos, detailed construction progress reports, or captivating event coverage, our drone videography offers unmatched clarity and perspective.
First Person View (FPV) Drone Services
An FPV (First-Person View) drone brings an exhilarating and immersive experience to a client's project, offering dynamic, fast-paced shots that are difficult to achieve with traditional drones. FPV drones have the agility and ability to capture thrilling, fluid, and sweeping movements. They allow for creative shots through tight spaces, low passes over landscapes, and even following moving objects at high speed. This gives the footage a dynamic, "in-the-action" feel that stands out.
FPV drones offer a highly immersive way of capturing footage, pulling the viewer directly into the scene. This is particularly effective for clients in industries like property, tourism, or entertainment, where conveying an experience or atmosphere is essential.
FPV drones can replicate shots that would otherwise require expensive equipment like cranes, dollies, or helicopters. By offering a more versatile and cost-effective option, clients can achieve the same level of cinematic quality for a fraction of the cost.
