Heavy Lift & FPV pilot Drone Pilot

Hi, I’m Mike! I’m a BAFTA winning specialist cinema drone operator and FPV pilot. I offer a full range of aerial filming services in-house while also working as a freelance pilot and camera operator for most of the major high end aerial filming outfits in the UK.

I am well equipped with an extensive collection of kit available, allowing me to offer everything from high-performance Heavy Lift cinema drones that can fly the latest cinema cameras and lenses, to innovative FPV “Hybrid” drones for carrying stabilised payloads at high speed and with incredible precision, right down to smaller, fixed FPV cinema platforms that can carry cameras like the Red Komodo or Sony FX6, or even the small but extremely capable GoPro FPV rigs! Whatever you need, I’ve got you covered and can assemble a team of extremely skilled and experienced crew to get the job done right.

I’m an A2CoC, GVC, BNUC-S and BMFA certified pilot with my own CAA Operational Authorisation and as well as coming from a professional background in film making, photography and cameras, I have past experience in aviation flying full size manned aeroplanes, RC helicopters and FPV drones. I also hold the EASA A1, A2 and A3 certifications which allows me to work in the EU.

Throughout my career, I’ve accrued lots of valuable experience working on large, high pressure film sets and I’ve got to know the industry very well. You can head to my projects page or check out my IMDB listing to see some of my recent credits.
