Skylens was set up over 12 years ago and is run by a team of qualified photographers (BA hons / HND) to provide quality professional aerial photography and video using lightweight UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and telescopic masts. We were the first to operate a quad-copter UAV (Microdrone) commercially in the UK and now offer a professional video service using our “state of the art” Octocopters
. We hold an enhanced CAA Operationsl Authorisation and the required BNUCs certification to operate SUAS (UAV's) commercially in UK airspace. Our OA allows us to undertake night-flying with all our UAV systems and also authorises us to fly within reduced distances to people and property, not under our control with our 0-7 KG and also 7-20KG category aircraft. We also hold an OSC which allows up to operate as close as 20m to uninvolved persons. We have over 40 years experience in aerial photography using full size aircraft, both fixed wing and helicopters. For shoots in London we use aircraft that have CAA permission and exemptions to operate at heights ideal for lower level views. We also hold Public Liability, Professional Indemnity and Employers Liability insurances
