Aerial Filming

For decades, our team at HeloAir has enjoyed the unique experience of working closely with photographers and videographers on aerial filming projects. We are available for any and all aerial film and photo needs, whether that means taking up a professional photographer for a photo shoot or providing a stabilized aerial platform for film work. We have SAG pilots available on staff and work easily with both external and internal camera systems.

Aerial Cinematography

With years of television news contract experience, we have extensive aerial cinematography know-how. Our team has also participated in location scouting for some of the motion picture industry’s most successful films. No more trekking for hours to find that perfect spot — the use of helicopters for scouting allows clients to cover vast distances and change terrain with ease.

Superior Camera Equipment

We offer a variety of gyro-stabilized camera systems that are ready to go with camera mounts for the nose, the belly, or the side of the aircraft.

GSS / Cineflex Camera
These ultimate gyro-stabilized aerial cameras can provide rock-steady media on your next video production and transmission line or pipeline survey. The compact gimbal does not restrict aircraft operation and flight characteristics. Extremely durable and weather-resistant, the camera can be flown safely at higher airspeeds in extreme cold, rain, hot, or dusty conditions.

FLIR Corona 350 Thermal Imaging Camera
Our FLIR gyro-stabilized camera is specially configured for the airborne inspections and management of utility assets.

WESCAM Camera
The WESCAM MX 10 is a compact multi-sensor, multi-spectral imaging system for surveillance missions from light aircraft. The Wescam MX-10 thermal imaging system houses two cameras. A color camera used primarily during the day can read an object the size of a license plate from more than 750 feet away.
