Testimonials
Patrick Burke - Royal Irish Yacht Club
Chair, IRC European Championships 2024
LensFromAboveIreland made an incredible difference to the experience of sponsors, competitors, our organising committee and members of the Royal Irish Yacht Club when we hosted 3 international yacht racing championships in August and September 2024.
At the Royal Irish, we were delighted to be chosen by the Royal Ocean Racing Club to host the IRC European Championships 2024 (following upon the J-109 European Championships, the J-Cup Ireland and the Irish Cruiser Racing Association Championships) in Dublin Bay.
We had international and domestic competitors who were all champions in various prestige events during the season (including the ultimate winner in a TP52 from Hong Kong). LensFromAbove had phenomenal footage of our racing over each of the four days and relayed this footage onshore, through various social media channels and through our sponsors channels. The engagement, excitement and connectivity that this created was central to the sponsor/competitor experience at each event.
Furthermore, LensFromAboveIreland created awesome footage of our Club, our facilities, the old harbour of Dun Laoghaire and shorelines including the beauty of Dublin Bay from Howth to Dalkey and beyond. We now have this footage to promote our Club and entice more international yacht racing events to come to Dublin Bay and base themselves at the Royal Irish Yacht Club.
Michael is an absolute professional who makes collaboration so easy – we honestly had very little to do – he took on the assignment and made it happen to perfection. We are delighted to recommend his services to others.

Commodore 23/24
The footage and production from Lens From Above is nothing short of exceptional. We began working with Mike in 2024 for our flagship annual regatta Calves Week. with daily footage being shown at evening prize givings and used for social media campaigns. The impact and buzz this unique aspect to proceedings brings is hugely appreciated by competitors with overwhelming positive feedback. Mike is a pleasure to deal with, always going above and beyond, making the whole process very smooth and the final product outstanding. We hope to continue utilising Mike's services well into the future.
Don O'Dowd
Royal St George Yacht Club
Event Chairman Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta 2025
For Volvo 2025, we were very keen to use drone footage and, most importantly, to be able to display it on the large screens (7m x 4m) during the daily après-sail, with sponsor advertisements integrated into the footage. The brief to Lens From Above was to create a promotional video from all four days of filming, highlighting the racing — including the inaugural Bay Race — the different classes racing across the five race courses, and the social elements ashore. This they achieved in abundance.
Michael and Lisa were very professional and a pleasure to work with. They were excellent under daily time constraints for transmission, and the quality of the footage was excellent.
