About Marcus

Marcus Taylor is the owner of Deployed Consultancy Ltd, a UK-based commercial drone operations company. He holds both the UK CAA A2 Certificate of Competency and the GVC (General VLOS Certificate), along with EASA A1/A3 and A2 certifications valid across the European Union.

Over 6 years of commercial flying, Marcus has worked on UN/IMO site surveys across West Africa (Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Cameroon), providing aerial intelligence for port facility and maritime security assessments. His fieldwork in challenging environments gives him hands-on experience that most drone reviewers simply don't have.

Marcus has flown extensively with the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced, Mavic 3 Classic, DJI Mini 3, and DJI Spark. He serves as Dronesgator's expert reviewer, verifying the technical accuracy of our drone analyses, buying guides, and regulatory content.
