Rapid Delivery: Our streamlined post-production workflow is built for speed. We turn your project around at the pace your business moves, ensuring you never wait for the media you need.
Quicker. Safer. Cheaper.
We eliminate the guesswork and the access problems of traditional methods. From the initial consultation to the final export, you can rest assured of a professional, “pilot-in-command” approach to your media requirements.

Andy is extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful, going 'above and beyond' to make sure he's delivered what's needed.
Phil Aust
Really helpful and excellent service received. We used Esprit Drone Services to film our school facilities during lockdown and are so thrilled with the result. Really professional and friendly, we felt very comfortable with the Drone Pilot we had who couldn't have been more attentive to what we wanted. Our video is now on the school website and has resulted in much more interest. Highly recommended!!

We commissioned Andy to undertake fortnightly drone visits for a large construction project in Aylesford. Not only was the footage first class, he was relied upon to attend and supply the footage on time, every time, meaning we didn't have to worry about the job getting done properly. Very highly recommended.

When the building company I work for needed pictures of our sites, Esprit Drone Services were able to provide excellent aerial, external and internal images. This company undertake their projects with great professionalism and efficiency, and their photographer, Andy Betts, is a resourceful and approachable specialist. I would not have any problem in recommending Esprit Drone Services.

Highly recommend Esprit Drone Services. When we called Andy he was very knowledgeable and was quick to book our appointment. Once he completed our drone shots he was happy to make any amendments we asked for and even re visited certain sites to make sure we had the best shots possible. Nothing was to much trouble. The whole service from beginning to end was excellent and we will definitely be using his services again in the near future. Mr J Fuller for Bigger Living Ltd

Esprit Drone Services were fast and efficient at capturing our roof to check for signs of wear and tear. Being a double pitched roof we could not access the middle section and to have a good clean visual of what we could not see was really beneficial to monitor tile movement and quality of the chimney systems here in such an old building. Whatever the job would thoroughly recommend.

The epitome of professionalism, knowledge and customer service. Thank you.
Alexander Brake
We needed new content for our website. Once introduced to Andy he was happy to discuss what I wanted at length and add his own suggestions. Thoroughly professional in his approach and execution of the filming. He is fully licensed so makes minimum impact when flying the camera drone. With that, and his ground based filming, produced a stunning promotional video with the "wow" factor.
