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,
Commercials, Documentaries, Real Estate
Aerial Photography, Inspection, Development, Construction and all
your Aerial Media needs. New York City based we travel coast to
coast servicing the entire USA and international.
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.
This gives some bragging rights to a production to mention the
amount of Carbon Emissions saved, especially for green
productions. This Eco Friendly solution is a win win for
everyone.
No Other Remote Aerial Service Offers a Real FAA Pilot At The Controls!
All flights conducted by a Licensed FAA Commercial Pilot.
This offers a safety margin that
other remote aerial services can not offer with an experienced licensed pilot at the controls
of all full sized and remote controlled aircraft. At least there
are currently none that we know of.
We Are Fully Insured We're covered when we fly, and with us so are you!

possible our head photographer is a graduate of the
