Helicam

The Helicam is an unusual looking but incredibly stable platform which lifts high resolution video and photographic cameras up to 400ft. It's stability comes from the eight rotor design, low center of gravity and its sohphisticated flight control system. Using GPS guidance and the latest sensor technology, the helicam is unbeatably smooth, safe and reliable in flight.

Whether you require building and roof inspection photography, unique marketing shots or evidence for architectural surveys, the HeliCam is often more affordable and capable than alternative methods.
