Airview Xtreme Equipment

Airview Xtreme Aerial Filming currently boasts two Axsys/Cineflex V14 gimbals, one a Multi Sensor surveillance camera array and the other a V14 multi lens production gimbal- both camera systems are designed for helicopter and/or aerial filming.

We carry a range of mounts for Bell and Eurocopter helicopters. The V14 MS Mark Two Troll, carries a Sony 1500 CineAlta HD camera and a stabalized tri-thermal IR camera.

Our V14 production gimbal also uses the Sony 1500 CineAlta HD camera and we carry both wide and long lens options. 

Recording formats are HDCAM, XDCAM HD and HDCAM SR capable of uncompressed 4:4:4 recording in either interlaced or progressive scan at frame rates up to 60fps

AirviewXtreme Aerial Filming has eliminated the time consuming runaround and co-ordination hassles usually associated with the set-up a traditional aerial film shoot.

Our HD studio enables instant review of footage plus output to any tape format, harddrive or disc. Airview Xtreme provides a one stop shop, all in aerial film/video solution, rigged and ready when you are.
