The PlaneCam
The PlaneCam is currently in the final stages of construction after many months of development - photographs to follow shortly.
We are introducing the PlaneCam platform to our equipment list because it offers unique filming characteristics that cannot be achieved easily by other means.
The lightweight model plane is modified to accept a full HD camera on a 2-axis gyro-stabilised camera mount. The plane can cover distances of 500m+ and so is ideal for filming projects that require long shots. It can be combined with the use of our HeliCam drone and/or ground footage to add variety to a production.
Some useful facts about the PlaneCam...
- Electric powered - clean, quiet and minimal vibration issues.
- Live video downlink to a 7inch monitor and virtual reality goggles for 'cockpit' flying.
- GPS guidance and return to home safety features
- Onboard telemetry transmitting live flight data.
- Flying speeds - 20mph to 60mph
- 2 axis gyro-stabilised camera mount shooting full HD with a wide lens (170deg FOV)
- Flight case for international work
