Hovershotz specialise in drone filming in the English Lake District. We use the latest professional drones providing broadcast quality video in up to 5.2K (in CinemaDNG & Apple ProRes codecs) and breathtaking images up to 20 mega pixels. We are particularly at home working with film crews, TV companies, news channels, and advertising agencies. We are the leading  aerial drone photography company based in Cumbria within the  Lake District. Established in 2014, we specialise in aerial drone filming  and surveys utilising the latest state of the art professional unmanned aerial platforms (drones). We operate across the North of England (Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire, County Durham) and South West Scotland.

We are the only aerial drone operator in Cumbria with CAA permission for night flying and operation.

Our pilots are fully BNUC-S qualified and are also trained camera operators. We hold CAA permission for aerial work (PFCO) and hold the required insurance.

Hovershotz are the first and last stop for a professional drone operator in the North West of England.

Our specialities:
Hovershotz specialise in filming in the English Lake District. We are particularly at home working with film crews, TV companies, news channels, and advertising agencies.

We know the Lake District intimately and our equipment is suited to filming in the challenging environment. We are quite happy to carry the drones and associated equipment in tailored backpacks and hike across the Lake District terrain with the film crew to capture the perfect shots. Being based in the Lake District, gives us the advantage of being able to liaise easily with both The National Trust and The National Park Authority to gain the necessary permissions to film with drones on their land.

Unlike many drone operators, Hovershotz are experienced and comfortable in operating and filming over water. We also specialise in aerial photography and aerial surveys, across Cumbria, the Lake District and beyond.

Hovershotz also provide location scouting services across the Lake District.

We are the only aerial drone operator in Cumbria with permission for night flying and thus able to operate, film and photograph after dark – ideal for night events, party’s or live news broadcasting.

Our services include:

• Aerial drone photography
• Aerial drone video & filming
• Aerial drone inspections and surveys
