Aerial Filmwork featuring the Cineflex HD camera system:
Helivision now owns a new state of the art Cineflex V14 HD (Gen3) gyro-stabilized camera system to film visually stunning high definition 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.
