From the very beginning James has been amazing. From discussing my very detailed requirements around Ipswich railway station to the execution of the actual shoot, James has been very professional. He agreed to the project where others refused. The resulting images are perfect for my research enabling me to scratch build the station buildings. Would whole heartedly recommend Dronesmart Global. Thanks James. More...
Reply from Dronesmart Global
Thank you, Peter, for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure to meet you. Having taken time to understand your requirements, I took great care in my dealings with the railway stakeholders to explain exactly what we needed and they were very accommodating. Their flexibility allowed me to capture the best images for you. As an experienced commercial operator, I find there is often a way to get things done by talking to the right people in my network so the refusal of less experienced operators to take on a tricky project just makes me try harder! Thank you again for your recommendation. It will be fascinating to see the final results once your project is complete! Best wishes, James

I wanted some aerial photographs of our house - we live near an airfield and I wanted to make sure that everything we did complied with the various regulations surrounding drone photography and I was impressed with James' attention to detail in this respect. The resulting photographs were easy to download, crystal clear and there was plenty of them including a few shots of the surrounding countryside from a considerable height - which weren't necessary and I hadn't asked for but which nevertheless were a nice touch - thanks.

I Booked Dronesmart Global at short notice for a distribution centre video and photoshoot. James was brilliant from the outset, he responded to my Bark request within minutes of posting it, asked all the right questions about the location, video quality and format required, and got a quote over just as fast.
His quote wasn't the cheapest, but I was so much more confident in using him due to the diligence he put into the initial calls and quote.
At the job itself, he arrived on time and carefully set up the drones to meet the spec we had discussed, then very professionally and skillfully carried out the work, getting the shots I wanted and also suggesting additional ideas which turned out great.
James got the footage over to me within hours of completing the job and we're delighted with the results.

I have recently had the pleasure of meeting James, from Dronesmart Global, as we needed some Ariel photography and video footage of our beautiful house on the Suffolk Coast. We are absolutely delighted with the results and would highly recommend this company for its professional approach, prompt response and very polite, positive attitude. Thank you so much.

Our company, a local estate agent, used James at Dronesmart to undertake some aerial shots of a large plot and house that we listed in Norfolk. His service is superb. The attention to detail on the aerial photography was great. The quality of the photographs is fantastic as well. He certainly knows his stuff as well. Very knowledgeable about his work. We will certainly be using his services again for further aerial photography. Very happy customer. Thanks James. More...

Such a friendly and impressive service from James at Donesmart Global. From organising the drone shoot to receiving the final footage, all fantastic. The images are excellent and give a wonderful perspective of Harleston Magpies Hockey Club and our facilities. The footage is stunning. Highly recommend! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love exceeding client expectations. Aerial photography can transform the image of a business or property and the different perspectives available excite clients and their customers.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have had a long and successful career with a market-leading company but running my own photography business enables me to spend time with my family that would not otherwise have been available.
Why should our clients choose you?
Listening to clients is crucial. It's important to deliver exactly what the client wants but I will always strive to surpass their expectations.
