e have several different Large rigs each equipped with high speed filming gimbals.  They are ideal for filming high speed tracking shots, but are also capable of getting up close.  The footage is very similar to that of a large helicopter, but our rigs can get into the “Advantage Zone”, or the space where a full size heli is not capable of getting into.  All of our copters have been built by us from the ground up.  They have many unique parts that we have had custom machined specifically for our rigs.  In addition to our single blade copters we also have quad blade copters, which are very versatile and are great for precise indoor and outdoor filming.  While sometimes the weather dose not permit flying, our contingency plan is a Robotic Camera Jib Arm with a Remote Head.  It can reach heights of almost 20 feet and is ideal for indoor and outdoor filming.  The Camera jib can carry cameras up to 20 lbs.  For Rates contact us.

Hella Filming can facilitate the flight of a variety of cameras, please contact us with your specific project needs.  We specialize in HDSLR cinema and generally fly the canon 600D or T3i.   The cameras that we offer for flight are: Sony FS 700, Sony FS 100, Canon 600D, Canon 60D, Sony Nex 5n 

Single Rotor Heli:

Pictured is one of our larger  Single Rotor Choppers.  This one is a Trex 600 with a custom pan and tilt camera gimbal mount.  We also use a 700 size craft which can lift larger cameras.  The bigger crafts can handle wind a bit better as well as get more precise shots.  The camera transmits a live feed to the gimbal operators monitoring station.  This allows the gimbal operator to adjust the shot or track a moving subject. *Click here for an equipment video for our single rotor helicopters. 

Flight Time: 7 minutes on a flight pack

 

 

 

 

Cinestar 8:

UPDATE: We have just purchased a Cinestar 8 quadcopter that is capable of lifting much heavier cameras such as the Red Epic and Scarlett.  Stay tuned for more information on our new Cinestar! *New Click here for our building the cinestar videos

Flight time: 10 minutes per battery pack

 

 

 

 

Small Multi Rotor Flyers:

Pictured is one of our fist filming rigs we ever built, the Gaui 330. We now use the Flamewheel 550 for most professional filming jobs because of its superior power which enables it to lift smaller DSLR and most ILC cameras. These devices are also very valuable because of their low noise. They can fly overhead of a television show or movie set without interfering with the sound.

Camera Crane:

Camera Jib:

Camera Jib arm services are also available.  We use this mainly on days when weather does not permit flight, but it delivers amazing results.  Great for indoor and out this Jib can reach heights of nearly 20 ft. and reach 14ft.  It is equipped with a robotic pan and tilt head that delivers a consistent and quality shot every time.  This jib is very portable and can be transported to remote locations with little effort. We can mount cameras up to 20 lbs. *Click here for more information and pictures of the Jib.
