Lunar Aerial Imaging is set to capture footage and stills even closer to people, buildings and vehicles having been awarded the OSC licence by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This non-standard permission has so far been granted to only a small number of professional drone companies and licensees have to prove to the CAA that they have the skills and experience to fly safely in difficult environments.

Not so long ago a passerby referred to us as “dronies”. Well, that was the first time anyone had used that term to describe us and weren’t sure how to respond; we simply gritted our teeth, forced a smile and gave a friendly wave. What else could we have done?
Now Lunar Aerial Imaging doesn’t have a real problem with the word; indeed it’s a great descriptor for all the hobbyists out there and we remember that all that time ago we started out as hobbyists. We respect them and think the word dronie is an accurate and affectionate way of referring to them. Let’s get this on the record: we love dronies (as long as they keep to the rules).
So far we haven’t turned up to a job with a busload of crewmembers, but one thing is certain – there’ll usually be at least two of us – the CAA approved drone pilot and an observer... Read more for the drone observer's perspective on it all.
LUNAR Aerial Imaging creates compelling imagery using drones. We fly over land, over water, indoors and outdoors to create video and stills.
Based just south of Manchester in the North West, we work throughout the UK and abroad.
