Can you film York Minster, Clifford's Tower or the city walls?
Often, yes. Many of York's landmarks are owned or managed by organisations such as the Minster, English Heritage or the city council, and some don't allow drone flights without permission. We check the rules for each site and apply for permission on your behalf.

Yes. We capture aerial photography of hotels, restaurants and wedding venues, and fly FPV drones inside them for immersive flythrough videos that bring the space to life.

Yes. SkyHi is a fully licensed, CAA-approved drone operator with more than 4 years of commercial flying experience. We're fully insured for commercial work and every flight follows UK drone law.
