Drone photography and videography, briefed from the ground up
21 Degrees Digital shoots drone photography and videography for brands across Leeds, Yorkshire and the UK. We're a full video and production team, and every flight is flown by a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved pilot. Aerial video and stills, cut into content that actually works. Not footage for footage's sake.
One rising shot shows the whole site, the whole crowd, the whole story. Try doing that from the ground.
One flight, a dozen assets
We don't hand you a single clip. We cut the footage into a film, social verticals, stills and teasers.
Briefed from your audience
Every shot starts with who's watching and what you want them to do. That's Outcome Marketing, from the sky down.
Safe, legal, sorted
CAA-approved pilots, full insurance, permissions handled. You get the shot, not the paperwork.
Award-winning. CAA-approved. Actually insured.
We've flown for developments, events and brands across the North, and picked up a couple of awards on the way. Every flight is planned, permitted and covered. So the only surprise is how good the footage looks.

The difference
A crew, not a bloke with a drone
A full production team
Pilot, producer, editor. Most drone hire is one person and a memory card. You get the lot.
We edit, grade and score it
The flight's the easy bit. We colour it, cut it and set it to music, so it's ready to publish, not just ready to sort.
Air and ground in one shoot
Aerial on its own gets samey. We mix it with ground footage and stills for a film with real range.
Footage with a job to do
Pretty is easy. We shoot for a result, then tell you how it performed.
How it works
From brief to bird's-eye, sorted
Brief from the audience
We start with who's watching and what the footage needs to do.
01
Recce and airspace
We check the site, the restrictions and the airspace, and get every permission signed off.
02
Fly, safely and legally
Our pilots get the shots, air and ground, in one visit.
03
Edit and grade
We cut it, colour it and score it in-house.
04
Cut for every channel
One shoot becomes a hero film, social verticals, stills and teasers.
05
Deliver and measure
You get the assets, and we tell you how they landed.
06
Pricing
Clear rates, no hovering costs
From a single aerial shoot to an always-on content retainer. Everything agreed up front, nothing bolted on later.

21 Degrees listened — they heard our story, got the message across quickly, and delivered a professional, slick product we still use years on. We couldn't have created that ourselves.
Ewan MetcalfOwner & Founder, I Consult Ltd & ICON Group
Yes. Our pilots are CAA-approved, every flight is fully insured, and we sort the airspace permissions before we turn up. You get the footage without the risk.
Do you shoot stills as well as video?
We do. Our drones shoot up to 48MP RAW stills alongside 6K video, so you can walk away with a film and a full photo set from one flight.
Where do you fly?
We're Leeds-based and fly across Yorkshire and the whole of the UK. If it's reachable and legal, we'll get there.
How quickly will we get the footage?
Edited films usually land within a few working days, with raw footage sooner if you need it.
Can drone footage fit into a bigger campaign?
That's the whole point. We brief every shot from your audience and cut it for every channel, so your aerial works as hard as the rest of your marketing.
