Hovercam is a specialist aerial filming and photography company based in Plymouth with over 25 years of industry experience. The company operates both manned helicopter and drone platforms to capture high-quality aerial footage for film, television, commercials, corporate productions and surveys.
Founded by Philip George and Gifford Hooper, Hovercam has earned significant credibility within the industry, accumulating credits across hundreds of professional productions including BBC dramas and major broadcast projects. The company's expertise was formally recognised when both founders received an Academy Award for technical achievement for developing the Hovercam miniature helicopter camera system—a testament to their innovation in aerial cinematography.
What distinguishes Hovercam is their combination of cutting-edge technology, extensive experience, and flexibility. They deliver bespoke solutions tailored to each project's requirements, enabling clients to plan and execute demanding aerial shots that would be difficult or impossible with conventional methods. Their team is available for short-notice deployments both domestically and internationally, working across diverse environments and production scales.
The company serves production companies, broadcasters, advertising agencies, and clients requiring aerial survey work. Beyond traditional helicopter filming, Hovercam's drone capabilities offer cost-effective alternatives for certain applications, including detailed aerial surveys. Their portfolio demonstrates versatility across golf broadcasts, dramatic productions, corporate films and documentary work.
