Drone Filming Scotland
Now Freelance as Merlin Imaging
After running Keeble Creative Ltd, I am now operating as a freelance drone photographer and videographer under Merlin Imaging. I continue to provide professional aerial filming services across West Lothian and Scotland, now with the flexibility and focus of a freelance operation.
Whether you’re an estate agent, business owner, construction company, or event organiser, I capture high-quality aerial video that highlights properties, projects, or venues from perspectives you can’t achieve on the ground. Using licensed and insured drone operations, I produce smooth, cinematic footage tailored to your project’s needs.
CAA Licensed Operator
Safety is paramount when flying drones. Our experienced UAS pilot holds an A2 CofC licence issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
In order to operate in the A2 subcategory of the Open Category under the new UAS regulations, you need to have an A2 CofC (certificate of competency).
There is a basic set of regulations for flying drones within the UK and Scotland. Operating within these limits will ensure you remain in the ‘Open Category’.
Size Matters
…or more accurately, weight matters. Whatever kind of work you require we have the right drone for the job.
We have a C1 class lightweight drone capable of capturing professional video and images, which under new legislation can fly in built-up and crowded areas without Operational Authorisation. This allows us to shoot in locations which previously required masses of planning and specific coordination with the CAA.
We also have a C3 class drone, better suited to work in areas with less restrictions and safety concerns, capable of shooting ultra-smooth high-quality 4K video.
Safety First
As commercial drone operators, it is our responsibility to make sure everything is safe.
We carry out a detailed risk assessment for every job, make sure our kit is in best possible condition, and of course, make sure we have sufficient insurance, including public liability up to £20m.
