Edinburgh’s Leading Drone CompanyLicensed and Insured Drone Pilots
Do you need to inspect your energy infrastructure?
We are Scotland’s leading provider of drone services to the energy sector. We can help you with anything from oil and gas to wind farms and solar farms. Drones are the perfect solution for inspecting difficult-to-reach or dangerous areas. Our drones are equipped with thermal imaging and other sensors that allow us to get a detailed view of your infrastructure without putting anyone in danger.
We understand the importance of safety and efficiency when it comes to your business. That’s why we offer fast turnaround times so you can get back to work as soon as possible.
Our drones are reliable, efficient and accurate. You won’t find a better service or product elsewhere.
We also have a team of experienced pilots who know how to get the job done right, every time.
We are Gold Certified Drone Safe – the most skilled, advanced, and safe operators available. We adhere to all Drone Safety Protocol’s and have full Civil Aviation Authority licencing. We follow all Scottish drone laws.
Solar Farm Inspections
Solar farm inspections are a critical part of ensuring the safety and efficiency of solar farms. We provide solar panel inspections to ensure the safety and efficiency of your solar farm. Using a drone to conduct these inspections allows us to reduce the time it takes to complete them and improves accuracy. Contact us today to learn more about our solar panel inspection services!
Oil and Gas Drone Inspection
At Skykam, we provide oil and gas drone inspections to help you keep your operations running smoothly. Our skilled pilots can help you identify potential issues before they become costly problems. Drones are used for oil rig inspections because they are a safe and efficient way to get a close look at the infrastructure. Drones can fly in tight spaces and around obstacles, which allows them to collect accurate data without putting crew members at risk.
Windfarm Inspection
Drone technology is now being used to help with wind turbine inspections. Drones can be used to fly close to the turbines, taking pictures and videos of all the parts that need to be checked. This allows for a more complete inspection, and it is much safer for the workers who would otherwise have to scale the turbines.
The use of drones is not limited to wind turbines. They are also being used to inspect power lines and solar panels. In both cases, the drones can get close to the structure without putting workers in danger. And, they can take high-quality pictures and videos that can be used for analysis.

See What Our Drones See In VR!
With our drones, you can experience a full 360° VR real time during flight. This means that you can see every possible angle and make sure that the data we’re capturing meets your expectations. You can even wear the headset while we fly the drone, so you can get a closer look at the data we’re capturing.

Drone Services FAQ
Yes – As a licensed commercial operator, we are governed by the Civil Aviation Authority.
Every job has its own set of requirements, so we make a custom package for each client. We don’t charge per photo as other companies might – instead it’s priced by the hour and you get full access to all the data or photos captured during that time period!
The maximum flight time is 30 minutes, assuming average conditions. However, on average, we replace the battery in our drones after flying for 22 minutes. On shoots, we carry extra batteries. It only takes a few minutes to change the battery and get back in the air.
Yes – We can fly indoors but we need a large, open indoor space. We may do a test flight and measure if it is eligible.
We do not fly in strong winds or rain. We can fly in winds of up to 22 miles per hour. In winds of up to 15 mph, our innovative camera gimbal technology produces exceptionally smooth views.
Our drones can fly in light rain, but rain on the camera lenses can ruin a photo.
If we have to re-schedule a date because of weather, the booking deposit is transferred to the new date. We monitor the weather forecast 5 days in advance of any shoot. If we both decide to stay with the day and we have bad weather, our pilots will wait on-site.
Our CAA approval clearly defines where and how we can fly.
The main operational conditions for a small unmanned aircraft SUA are:
• Maintaining a distance of 50m from people and property not in control of the pilot.
• During take off and landing maintain a distance of 30m from people and property not in control of the pilot.
• Permission of the landowner to take off and land.
• Directly overhead or within a minimum distance of 150m from an open air assembly of over 1000 people.
• Maximum height of 400ft above ground level.
• Maintain visual line of sight of the SUA to a maximum distance of 500m.
• During daylight hours, so that you can clearly see the SUA and take avoiding action from other air users if required.
• Outside of controlled airspace.
• Restrictions apply to certain areas of Central London and additional permissions to fly in these areas need to be sought from the CAA.
• Restrictions and rules apply to flying near an airport and aerodrome.
Our autopilot software allows us to fly very precise predetermined flight patterns for specific commercial applications.
You can see anything that is being filmed, we receive a live feed from the drone. We even have VR headsets you can wear while we fly.
