Our breathtaking aerial images are taken by our expert crew, who are skilled in capturing the dramatic beauty of any subject from a unique aerial perspective. This experience together with our digital technology produces the quality aerial images you expect.

We know the importance of utilizing the best technology so our clients can receive the absolute best product available. The video produced by our recently purchased FLIR UltraMedia III (Ikegami HL-59WNA camera and Canon 1000 mm lens) is truly spectacular - stunning clarity and rock-steady stabilization. This gyro-stabilized digital technology, together with the expertise of our professional crew, can be relied upon to maximize the success of your production. Along with 360 degree capability and 5-axis suspension, eight video distribution amplifiers ensure superior quality, and live video transmission is available. The camera is mounted on the hull of the chopper allowing our crew to fly with the door closed. If you choose, you can fly with us and direct the shoot from your own monitor.

We use 35mm or Medium format depending upon the subject and ultimate use of the image.

We fly in an American Eurocopter AS3506B (AStar) with a 3 blade rotor system for a more stable platform.
