Occasionally clients need gyro-stabilised footage shot from platforms other than aerial platforms.
Aeroptics’ Peter Thompson designed and prototyped a dozen mounts currently in use and manufactured today. Custom-built mounts are all part of our on-going service to customers. We love a challenge.
BOAT
A floor stand can be easily adapted to provide a stable platform on board boats. Using the long-lens, Aeroptics was able to provide both wide and close-up stabilised shots of the sailing action for the live broadcast of the Louis Vuitton Cup sailing series in Auckland New Zealand.
A series of slo-mo and real time shots of the lagoon in Bora Bora, French Polynesia were shot from a boat for the BBC series South Pacific.
A Queenstown client required footage shot from a jet boat. No problem. The polarising filter enhanced the colours of the lake and cut through the reflected light from the water surface to reveal the lake bed below.
