We provide low altitude aerial photography service using  radio controlled airplanes, helicams and blimpcams carrying professional digital cameras. The setups are modular in design, can be man-carried and easily be transported in a utility vehicle. 

Helicam is a remote-controlled mini helicopter used to obtain aerial pictures or motion images using pro digital cameras. The remote controlled camera mount system allows pan, tilt and roll movements. A wireless onboard video transmitter downlinks the live signal to the camera operator, images can be recorded onboard, on the ground or both. The system is controlled by two operators with independent controls : the helicam pilot and camera operator.

One of the characteristics of the helicam is the flexibility and small size. The system can be flown practically everywhere provided a small spot of about 4 square meters is available to take off and land. Flight endurance ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, refueling can be done in seconds.

We have miniDV, 3CCD DVCAM, HDV-50i, AVCHD-50i & full HD [24p/25p/30p] cameras [Canon 7D and 5D-mk2]. 

By flying at a lower altitude we are able to shoot " below the smog ", using wide angle lenses and offering views that are comparable to those shot from full-size aircraft. The maximum height that can be attained is 100 meters. Our helicam team is available at short notice to film on location world-wide.

We supply ready to fly helicams with 500 gm to 12.5 kg camera payload capacity along with flight training sessions. 

These helicams are also available for aerial flower dropping, banner towing and corporate advertising.
