    600 Series Pro Red and Pro Orange

    Pro Red and Pro Orange:

    These helicopters are larger 600 series. They have all been upgraded with state of the art electrical systems, gyros, and stabilized camera mounts. Although these machines are able to achieve speeds up to 90MPH, they are used for skirting beaches, long distance runs and vast overviews of properties or landscapes.

    Equipped with individual camera controls, these helicopters have a pilot that is constantly positioning or flying the helicopter over the location, while a separate camera operator is controlling the camera from a base station. This unit has the ability to fly up to 3-miles, although this is very rarely the occasion.

    As a midsize helicopter we use this to provide smooth flyovers, long distance aerials for beaches, golf courses, boats and hotels. Imagine being able to fly within 50 feet of a couple on your beach or golfers teeing off. This helicopter can be used to follow moving subjects and keep them in focus. Primary wind conditions for this unit are up to 15knot winds. If we are shooting in motion and not trying to achieve hover, these can be used up to 20knots.

     Spyder 1:

    This helicopter is a multi-rotor helicopter used for close-up shots when your subject will be within 10 feet. We use this to fly at close ranges such as on a golf course, flying over resort pools and beaches, nature scenes, confined areas, and anything where little to no inconvenience for the subjects being filmed.

    The benefit of this helicopter is that it is fairly small and quiet, therefore if you are shooting and don’t want a lot of disturbance, this is the copter to us. It is very stable and has a GPS satelite link, which allows us to place it in a specific location and allow technology to hover it while we get the footage necessary.

    While this helicopter is able to move at speeds of 30-40MPH, it is not intended for actions shots or filming during high speeds. This setup is for smooth flying or hovering. It can get as close as 10 feet from your subject and still manuever to heights of up to 1,500 feet. Primary flying conditions are between 0-8knots. Higher winds simply limit the amount of stability in hovering.

    This unit has a gyro-directional camera mount, holding a GoPro HD Hero shooting full 1080HD.
