Our knowledge of wildlife behaviour, along with our drone and sensor capabilities, provide us with unique capabilities for delivering high-end imagery for blue-chip and standard wildlife documentaries. We enjoy the creativity and challenge of ‘getting in amongst it’ to film wildlife showing their natural behaviour, without causing disturbance.

We also enjoy the challenge of innovating and flying drones in a way that is safe but atypical, to get the right shot that displays the beauty of animals displaying their natural behaviour.
