Occasionally clients need gyro-stabilised footage shot from platforms other than aerial platforms.
Aeroptics’ Peter Thompson designed and prototyped a dozen mounts currently in use and manufactured today. Custom-built mounts are all part of our on-going service to customers. We love a challenge.
AEROPLANES
The Aeroptics Cineflex can be mounted on a variety of aircraft.
C130 Hercules.
Dramatic closeups of vintage aircraft at the Warbirds Over Wanaka air show were shot from a very big filming platform -a RNZAF C130 Hercules. The camera was mounted on the loading ramp, while the operator was strapped safely inside the fuselage. To see the resulting footage view our Warbirds Over Wanaka 2008 clip.
