Welcome to SkyCamUsa. We're glad to offer the latest in Remote Control Aerial Photography & HD Video. SkyCamUsa employs a fleet of manned and unmanned aircraft, primarily helicopters capable of High Quality Digital Photography and True HD Video. We're able to fly in areas where full size aircraft cannot, and with less disturbance to the surrounding environment.  Our Helicam can provide HD Aerial Footage for Hollywood Feature Films, Television, Independent Films,

Manned Helicopter For Aerial Photography

SkyCamUsa specializes in Remote Helicopter Film Work and Remote RC Aerial Photography, NYC based. However we also offer aerial photography via full sized manned helicopter as needed for higher altitude shots, or for aerial photographs in an area not suited for the remote helicopter.

Benefits Of Remote Helicam Vs. Full Size Manned Aircraft

Boldly fly where no one has flown before! Simply put we can fly where no one else can... and when no one else can... for example our Remote Controlled Helicopter can take off a moments notice. Our remote control helicopter

camera can also fly through narrow areas such as city streets or natural obstructions at low or high altitudes. We can operate in places where a real helicopter cannot access safely. SkyCamUsa can also fly closer to subjects and perform shots too dangerous for a full size aircraft. Our system is also excellent for chase shots. Its a great alternative to Spider Cam and Cable Cam and takes less time to set up.  We are able to fly about 10 lbs of camera weight. This includes High Definition Digital Video Cameras such as the Canon 5D, Canon 7D, Canon T2i, GoPro HD Hero, Sony EX1, Panasonic HVX200, HPX170. Currently under development we are testing certain modified Motion Picture Super 16 and 35mm Film Cameras to work with our close range aerial filming system. Please see our faq page for camera details.

The Budget Factor

A full size helicopter can cost thousands even tens of thousands of dollars.. for some productions aerial photos and video may not be a consideration due to budget constraints. At some locations a full sized helicopter and pilot may not be

available at all. SkyCamUsa opens whole new world to productions that other wise would not be able to have aerial footage in their production. Due to the complex nature of the current FAA legal structure we can not charge for remote helicopter filming or photos. We offer this to all our clients as a supplemental service at no charge. We charge only video or photo editing (as needed), consultations, travel time, ground based media and traditional manned aircraft aerial photography and video. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this. Thank you.

Its Greener & Earth Friendly

What aircraft requires more fuel to fly.. one that weighs 20 pounds or 2000 pounds? Full size aircraft produce thousands of pounds of CO2 and other green house gasses each time they fly. Our carbon footprint is thousands of times less.
