How To Choose An
Aerial
Photography Service
There are other services out there that offer aerial photography and
video, some use full size aircraft, some use remote aircraft. The remote photography realm is filled with some professionals and
many hobbyists. Be sure to you're getting a professional. Asking for a
copy of the insurance certificate is a way to further insuring you are
getting a safe professional. Also be sure to see high resolution photo
samples and HD video samples to ensure clear vibration free media. Here
at SkyCamUsa we are fully insured with years of experience, you may also
view our high quality HD Video and Photo gallery
here.
Most Aerial Photographers / Videographers who use full size
aircraft are professional and you are getting the best service but full
size aircraft have certain benefits and certain limitations. They need much more altitude and more space to
operate safely. They can disturb the filming environment and the
neighbors. We can operate almost anywhere! If you want to fly up
close to a subject, down a tight street or need to fly in an area impossible
for a full sized helicopter. SkyCamUsa makes
that unique shot possible with our Remote Helicopter Flying
Camera System.

when you want them. Here are some other points to note.

Advantages of Remote Helicopters For Aerial Video and Photos
Full Sized Manned Airplane Vs.
Remote Helicopter
What about full size manned aircraft? These are great for high altitude
shots where closeness is not an issue. If you want a low altitude shot or
close up shot of any subject that may be impossible if its under 500
feet. Its is also be against FAA regulations to fly under 500 feet
depending on the area. Full sized aircraft also have very limited
panoramic shooting ability for wide shots. We can also fly full sized
manned helicopter or airplane if your needs require it.
Our Remote Helicopter can land and take off almost anywhere safely and
perform up to 360 panoramic shots if needed. We can fly and land right at
your location with in minutes. Its much more fuel efficient and earth
friendly to use remote aircraft then full size aircraft especially with
the cost of fuel. The photos and videos from the remote helicopter are
far more intimate and closer to the subject than the full sized plane
showing more detail and a very unique point of view. People often ask..
how did they do that shot? There are also places where full sized planes
can not fly due to airspace limitations. We can fly almost anywhere.
With a full sized plane you do not get to see what is being filmed until
after it is complete unless you are on board.. Reviewing on board gets
expensive too since you are in the air! With us you get to see it LIVE
as its being filmed via our LCD display ground station, and review it
safely while still on the ground.
Remote Airplane Vs. Remote Helicopter
Helicopters are best for aerial photography and video. Remote airplanes require a
large landing and take off area which is not always available. Some
remote photography services may use planes and then make risky landings
with your pictures and property at risk. Most planes can not carry
a high quality professional camera unless its very large in size. Remote planes also have
little or no panoramic
shooting ability for wide angle shots since the plane is always in need
of forward motion in order to fly. Helicopters can hover in the air in a
single spot and and take off
almost anywhere. Helicopters can also safely and perform up to 360 panoramic shots if needed.
RC Helicopters are also able to land and take off vertically with less
space required for take off and landing. Our RC Helicam can also carry a
professional photography or video camera.
Its Greener
What aircraft requires more fuel to fly.. on 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
literally thousands of times smaller. This gives some bragging rights to
a production to mention how much fuel was saved, especially for green
productions. This is a win / win for everyone.
