AERIAL FILMING
By partnering with the Aerosparx Display Team, we are uniquely qualified and experienced to operate drones in an airshow environment. As a low-cost alternative to a manned cameraship, we have captured spectacular aerial imagary at airshows in the UK, Portugal, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Poland, often flying inside the aerobatic box with prestigious aerobatic teams such as the Saudi Hawks. Live footage from the drone can be provided via HDMI output to feed into live broadcasts.
We also have experience of conventional air-to-air filming and photography from manned aircraft, when a cameraship and pilot can be provided.
