We enlisted the services of Simon at The SkyCam Edinburgh for a recent project to film our facility in Edinburgh.
Simon was friendly and professional and explained the process very clearly.
We had a great shoot and the footage is fantastic. We will definitely use his services again should the need arise.

Nick
We contacted SkyCam to help us with an aerial site survey in Livingston and the whole experience was simple and professional from the start.
The team communicated really well, managed our expectations on timescales and weather conditions and kept us informed all the way.
A lovely detail working with SkyCam was some of the imagery sent to us during the job to ensure they captured exactly what we wanted.
We would recommend them very highly - true professionals in their field (well, in the sky to be more accurate !)

Scott at The SkyCam was so quick to respond to my request and more than happy to talk through what I was looking for. I really feel he listened to what i wanted to achieve with the shots.
He was also happy to provide some good examples of his work including some from my local area which really gave me a feel for what could be achieved.

Very professional in the set up with a focus on safety. They were very quick to find out our needs and what we wanted from the footage.

Aerial Survey
One of the main uses of drones during surveys is to get a clear and crisp visual on the areas that are considered to be high risk and could possibly be dangerous for surveyors to personally inspect. Drones can provide accurate video footage of hard to reach places such as the roof of a commercial or residential property without the need for expensive scaffolding or professional specialist equipment
Estate Aerial Photography
Drones have also become the marketing tool of real estate. They provide the opportunity to showcase properties with beautiful photographs and videos, which ultimately increases its saleability. Prospective homebuyers tend to have a lot of basic questions about the neighbourhood. With the use of a video you can enable prospective buyers to review how close the property is to a road, how well maintained the area is, distance to local facilities/schools etc. Many prospective homebuyers rely on more traditional methods such as Google Maps and street view to answer these questions, whereas drone footage can provide a more accurate idea of the size of the property and/or its grounds.

Events
Drones are the ideal solution for filming events, such as mountain biking, motor-cross, snowboarding, surfing, sailing or running based events. As well as providing stunning aerial imagery, drones are extremely versatile, and can safely be flown close to the crowd. For a larger event, where ground based photos just wouldn't impress, drones can provide viewers a unique 'birds eye' viewpoint, which simply isn't always possible with traditional methods.
Aerial Photography
Aerial photography/videography comes into its own when working in particular with the following services: construction projects, roof/property/land surveys, promotional work, building investigations, events, flood damage etc.
Aerial imagery and videos are now a lot more accessible. Drones have negated the need for expensive manned aircraft, and can provide high definition still images or video footage of your chosen sites. Difficult terrain or even water isn't an obstacle to a drone, they can fly over pretty much anything including lakes, rivers and even trees.
