Tethered Helium Balloon
Using the only floating camera platform of it’s kind in the world, Upper Cut Productions can raise high-resolution HDV and SLR cameras into the sky up to 200ft, and higher with Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) permission. The tethered helium balloon is ideal for windy conditions (operational up to 30mph) because the keel helps keep it stable. It is also perfect for unobtrusive aerial filming and surveillance with it's large payload and long autonomy.
 Working higher than mast photography equipment and lower than the flying regulations of full-scale aircraft, the tethered helium aerostat can reach useful altitudes that are normally unreachable.
Attached to the aerostat is a sophisticated radio controlled pan and tilt, gyro-stabilized platform on which the camera systems are mounted.
 Raw footage is recorded onboard and a 2.4Ghz downlink transmits the cameras’ feed to a base station for live monitoring.
This patented system is diverse, quick to deploy and versatile for aerial surveillance and photography operations.
 Typical market applications include commercial and residential property, weddings, events, promotional videos, site surveys / inspection, tourism and aerial advertising.
 The combination of footage from both air and ground allows unparalleled creativity in video editing, production and photography.
