In need of a Cineflex operator or Shotover service?
At Kiwi Aerial shots we also provide professional aerial cinematography services from a helicopter. This can be needed when the shots have to be made at high altitudes, faster speed or on a location where drones are not allowed. Our professional Dutch camera operators can work with different camera setups to fit your production. This can be the Cineflex camera, the GSS system, our own gimbal system or even a “handheld” setup. We used all kinds of setups all over the world and even build custom rigs for next level 22K aerial cinematography that push the boundaries of aerial filming. Contact us if you want more information about our possibilities or to tell us your wishes so we can give you more information.

A SOLUTION FOR EVERY PRODUCTION AND BUDGET
We offer multiple camera setups for making aerial shots from a helicopter. Which option is best totally depends on the needed shots, the location, and budget of the production. one of the cheaper options is to go for a handheld or gimbal setup with which we have to film sideways from the door opening. These options have some limitations as we can not film 90 degrees downwards because of the prop wash of the helicopter blades. The Cineflex system doesn’t have this problem. The Cineflex system offers a complete free rotation of the camera in all directions making top-down shots at high speeds! This way our Dutch Cineflex operator can give you the best possible helicopter shots.

WHEN TO USE A HELICOPTER?
HIGHER ALTITUDE | BIGGER DISTANCES | ZOOM LENS | OFFSHORE
A frequently asked question is: Why use a helicopter if you have drones? The reason is that a helicopter is a completely different machine which gives completely different possibilities. It also has to do with airspace regulations. For example, in the Netherlands, drones are not allowed to fly any more high as 120 meters. A helicopter can go way higher. A helicopter can film using a 300mm zoom lens. something which is impossible on a drone because of the weight. Another big advantage of using a helicopter is the distance a helicopter can cover. A drone must be flown within the line of sight of the Dutch pilot. So for example, when filming a train, a drone team can cover as much as maybe a mile. A helicopter can fly along for a few hours. Of course, a drone has benefits on its side compared to a helicopter. Let us know if you have questions about using a drone vs. a helicopter in Dutch Airspace.
