Cineflex: Gyro-stabilzed Aerial HD Video Camera System
We Offer the Cineflex HD stabilized camera system to create stunning HD aerial footage. Micro-processor gyro sensors control powerful motors to remove even the slightest vibration creating rock solid HD video capture. The advanced design utilizes an aluminum and carbon-fiber structure with full internal gyro-stabilization of azimuth, elevation, and roll axes.
The Sony CineAlta HDC 1500 camera includes the capacity to shoot both 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 capture in a variety of popular formats including 1080/60i, 1080/24p and 720/60p. The 9.7mm 42x Fujinon lens has been adjusted to further remove any vibrations that could occur from using a standard video lens.
We Offer Sony SRW-1/SRPC-1 decks for recording to state-of-the-industry HDCAM SR tapes. Tape capacity is either 40 or 50 minutes depending on format selection. We have access to two decks for added benefit: the SRW-1/SRPC-1 decks can be used to make a dupe tape in the field, a second deck can be used with a ground camera unit, or simply for back-up.
Together, the Cineflex system and Sony record decks combined with the flying skills of the Helivision team will provide amazing aerial footage for your feature film, commercial or corporate presentation. Simply, there is not a better combination of equipment to create award-winning aerial footage.
