UAS Captures Aerial Video in Canterbury Cathedral

For the first time in the history of the famous Cathedral of Canterbury, England, permission was given to operate a remote flying camera inside and through the Cathedral. The EagleCam was manoeuvred to 400ft over the cathedral and inside hovering close to precious ceilings and stained glass windows to capture architectural detail and original viewpoints of the ancient monument.

Eagle Video Productions combined the footage with a brief historical overview to create a video to encourage tourists to visit Canterbury Cathedral and the surrounding area. The company is trusted to video ancient monuments, schools, hotels and sporting events to provide a professional 'bird’s eye view' of the environment or the action, said Michael Jaques of Eagle Video Productions.

The pilot has over 30 years’ experience with remote models, and is certified and approved by the British Model Flying Association and the Civil Aviation Authority. A full HD broadcast quality camera was used to guarantee spectacular results. Getting permission to fly over and inside Canterbury Cathedral was something Michael Jaques always wanted to do, he said. The Cathedral website now displays the video to inspire people to visit Canterbury and enjoy the many nearby attractions.
