Aerial cinematography
Whatever size project you're shooting we can provide a complete aerial camera team or just pilot and operator to work within your crew. All our drone packages come with complete redundancy, two of everything, whether it's two heavy lifter drones, two gimbals or two video feeds. With the option of a wet weather drone as weather cover, it's going to take a lot to keep us from getting your shots.

Wirecam & Monorail Camera Systems
Cable cam and monorail gives the ability to film point to point in a controlled repeatable fashion. Descender rigs and pulley driven drop systems allow us to perform swooping and falling shots. If filming overhead a safety line ensures redundancy in the rope system and repeatable fast camera moves in close proximity to actors and objects.

Handheld Gimbals
We work with the latest Movi-Pro and Ronin 2 gimbals, capable of carrying Sony Venice and Alexa mini cameras with in typical handheld mode setups. Combine gimbals with our Ready Rig and Easyrig vests and you have a system capable of shooting all day long. If you want to dry hire we can do that, although you'll get more out of the kit if we provide tech support or movi qualified operator, we'll build the team around your needs.

Remote arms, dampening systems & Car mounts
Lightweight gimbals have revolutionised car shots. Our remote arm allows productions to obtain vehicular crane shots once only available to feature films. Whilst the black arm provides a quick, cheap and reliable alternative to tracking car setups. Coupled with the ability to quickly switch the gimbal to handheld mode or use as a crane head gives your production absolute flexibility.
