professional drone & aerial services in the east midlands.
Based in Derby and serving the wider East Midlands region, Fused Media provides an extensive range of professional drone services tailored for commercial, industrial, and private clients. From high-resolution aerial photography and 4K videography to technical surveys and site inspections, we deliver precision and perspective from above.
As specialists in live broadcast technology, we offer the unique capability to live stream aerial footage directly from our drones using Starlink and bonded internet—ideal for events and real-time monitoring.
Our operations are powered by the latest DJI Mavic 3 Pro technology and led by CAA-approved pilots holding A2 CofC and GVC certifications, ensuring every flight is safe, fully insured, and legally compliant.
aerial videography
Our aerial videography services capture high-definition 4K footage that adds a dynamic dimension to any production. Whether you are documenting a sporting event, creating marketing material for a commercial property, or requiring professional b-roll for a documentary, our pilots use advanced flight paths to ensure smooth, stable, and engaging visuals.
Uniquely in the region, we can integrate our aerial feeds into live broadcasts or web streams using our specialised bonded internet technology, providing a real-time "eye in the sky" for audiences worldwide.
aerial photography
We provide ultra-high-resolution aerial photography that showcases landscapes, assets, and properties with unmatched clarity. Utilising 20MP+ sensors, we capture crisp, detailed stills perfect for estate agency listings, architectural portfolios, and agricultural land analysis. From wide panoramic vistas to precise top-down imagery, our photography provides the detailed perspective needed for high-end marketing brochures, planning applications, or private commissions across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and beyond.
aerial surveys
Drone surveys offer a safer, faster, and more cost-effective alternative to traditional scaffolding, ladders, or cherry pickers. We specialise in detailed roof inspections, construction site progress monitoring, and structural assessments for both industrial and residential buildings. Our high-resolution imaging allows for the rapid identification of defects, leaks, or maintenance issues in hard-to-reach areas with minimal disruption to the site. By providing clear, high-definition visual records, we help project managers, farmers, and homeowners make informed decisions based on accurate, real-time data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your drone operations legal and fully insured?
Yes. All our pilots are CAA-approved and hold the latest A2 CofCand GVC certifications. We are fully insured with specialist commercial drone public liability insurance, ensuring every flight is conducted safely and in full compliance with UK aviation law.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the shoot?
Drones cannot safely operate in heavy rain or high winds. We constantly monitor the forecast leading up to your booking. If the weather is unsuitable, we will work with you to reschedule the flight at the earliest possible opportunity at no additional cost to you.
Do I need to notify my neighbours before you fly?
While we operate within the strict privacy and safety guidelines set by the CAA, we always recommend informing immediate neighbours as a courtesy if we are filming in a residential area. For commercial or construction sites, we handle the necessary risk assessments and site safety protocols to ensure a smooth operation.
Can you really live stream drone footage from remote locations?
Yes. This is one of our specialist services. By using Starlink satellite technology and bonded 4G/5G internet, we can broadcast a high-definition live feed from the drone even in areas with poor mobile signal. This is ideal for live events, festivals, or real-time site inspections.
How quickly will I receive my photos, videos, or survey report?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. Standard photography and raw footage are typically delivered within 24–48 hours. For edited promotional videos or detailed structural survey reports, we will agree on a timeline during the booking process to ensure it meets your project deadlines.
Can you fly drones indoors?
Yes, we can. We use lightweight, shielded drones designed for safe indoor flight. This is a popular choice for large-scale industrial warehouses, factory inspections, or creating unique "fly-through" tours for event venues and real estate.
