Elevated Imaging Systems

Elevated Imaging Systems Limited (EIS) is a Belfast-based photographer and drone operator. It strives to create memorable and exciting images and video, using high resolution gimbal-stabilised cameras mounted on the latest state-of-the-art drones. 

Capable of capturing up to 6K CineDNG Raw and Adobe ProRes RAW video from our Super 35mm DJI X7 camera and lenses and up to 5.2K with our X5s camera and Olympus lenses, our aerial platforms are lightweight, quick to deploy and capable of producing footage that is ideally suited to grading to match output from industry-leading Red and Arri cinema cameras.

QUALIFIED

UK CAA - APPROVED BY THE UK CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY, EIS holds a UK Civil Aviation Authority Unmanned Aircraft Operational Authorisation - Specific Category. This means we can legitimately and professionally undertake commercial operations.

We hold Level 1 and 2 Infrared Thermography certifications from the Institute of Thermography, enabling us to provide additional services to agriculture and other industries requiring advanced thermal imaging surveys for building, process and electrical installations.

EXPERIENCED

We have been operating drones since 2014 and were among the first (Member no 27) to join DSR in 2015

We received training from ResourceUAS, one of the first two organisations approved by the CAA as NQEs and more recently obtained both A2CofC and GVC qualifications from UAV Hub.

Among our staff is a Chartered Civil Engineer with extensive experience in property maintenance, civil engineering design, construction and surveying. In addition to holding a commercial Sub-25kg UAV Pilot Qualification, he is a qualified Private Pilot (PPL(A)) and has also flown piston and jet-engined helicopters.

CLIENTS

Since 2015, we have produced a wide selection of still images and video footage for promotional work by Tourism Ireland, that has been viewed throughout the world.

As BBC-approved contractors, our work has been seen on television most days since early 2016.

In 2016, we were part of a professional team of commercial drone operators that helped film the Eurosport-sponsored Circuit of Ireland rally, with our footage being sent out live via satellite to 130 countries while our drones were in the air.

We are regularly commissioned to undertake building surveys for architectural visualisation & 3D modelling, construction site progress recording as well as maintenance and fire damage assessments, including the Belfast Primark site. 

One of our more interesting and rewarding recent projects was the filming and editing of the Walking on Water music video for Northern Ireland singer songwriters, Saffyre. 

We have recently expanded our focus to include more precise land survey applications as well as detailed building, mast, wind and solar farm inspection activities using our Matrice M300 and Phantom 4 RTK UAVs
