We are Sky Monkey
We’re a small team of diverse creators, story-tellers and tech-heads who genuinely care about getting things right. Everything we do starts with understanding your project’s demands and constraints, so we can deliver work that actually solves the problem. We’d rather do fewer things well than rush through a dozen projects at once. And if something can’t be done, whether it’s budget, timeline, or technical limitations, we’ll tell you straight away. No runaround, no surprises. Oh, we’re Aussies. So, we’re Australian owned and operated. 🇦🇺
What we stand for
Understanding drones, cameras, lenses, and production workflows is essential, but it’s not enough. Technical skill captures footage, creative vision tells your story. We lead with the art and let the science follow, because the best results come when technology serves a clear direction and purpose. It is the art that sets the direction.
Risk assessments, CASA licences, insurance and safety are non-negotiable for all things. But compliance alone isn’t a selling point, it’s the basic entry requirement. Holding CASA certification doesn’t guarantee precise flying, strong framing or truly usable footage.
It is simply not enough.
We go beyond the paperwork to deliver real value. Professional quality work that tells your story effectively and delights your audience.
In the new world of all-things-AI, we work on the basis that all decisions are made by humans. We certainly do use AI to help us:

The team at Sky Monkey are great. They create amazing work and they are very responsive. The team are exceptionally helpful every time I have a question and they always have time to help out. Keep up great work.
Sky Monkey were fantastic to work with and delivered high quality drone photography that exceeded expectations. As a Project Marketing Manager at Walker, I really valued their professionalism, attention to detail and ability to capture imagery that aligned perfectly with our brand and project objectives.

Reliable, professional, and always on point – highly recommended
Working with Sky Monkey was a real treat. They were very accommodating to a last minute booking and the shoot ran as smooth as butter. The resulting footage was of very high quality with smooth and dynamic movements. We will definitely be using Sky Monkey again for future drone video and photography.
Kelvin's professionalism and attention to detail was outstanding. The briefing process was comprehensive. He identified restrictions to drone operations that our client was unaware of, and was able to provide a solution. The client was very happy with the resulting drone footage and stills.
Genuinely, the Sky Monkey team have been amazing as pilots for us at Wash Drones. Through tricky flying conditions and fantastic advice on what we can/can’t do, I couldn’t recommend them as a partner more highly.
We’ve used Sky Monkey for several facade investigation projects. Great service, quality, and price.
I have engaged Kelvin from Sky Monkey several times to work on my video-projects. The standard of video work is always top quality, on time and carried out with the highest level of professionalism. Really looking forward to be working with Kelvin again in the near future.
We engaged the services of Sky Monkey twice to obtain aerial shots of various activities taking place over Sydney Harbour for an international client. The Sky Monkey crew were professional and the footage was epic. Our client could not be happier. We highly recommend Sky Monkey and would not hesitate to engage their services again.
Fantastic service! We originally were going to use a Cherry picker but instead opted for the drone because of the tricky site and cost. We easily saved ourselves a few thousand dollars. It also meant we could get 50-60 more shots that we wouldn't have been able to get otherwise. Overall awesome work and good value for money. Big thank you from Two Men and a Truck!
Look no further than Kelvin and his team at Sky Monkey to deliver on top quality drone and ground photography! Very professional team and absolute experts at what they do! Looking forward to working with them again.
Geraldo at Sky Monkey is outstanding. His professionalism, attention to detail, and skill with drone work truly set him apart. The quality of the footage was exceptional, and the entire process was smooth and easy from start to finish. He clearly knows what he’s doing and delivers results you can rely on. I highly recommend Geraldo and Sky Monkey to anyone looking for top-tier drone services.
Love working with Kelvin and Sky Monkey. Always very happy with the aerial photography they produce for us here at Ichor. Would happily keep working with them and have no hesitation recommending them to everyone.
Sky Monkey delivers incredible, cinematic drone footage every time. Professional, easy to work with, and consistently elevates our videos with stunning visuals. Highly recommend for top-tier drone work. The BEST in the biz!
