Aerial photos are a snap for White Pine Helicopters. We can take you almost anywhere to get you the photo/video you are looking for.

Video

The one thing to remember when shooting video footage from a helicopter is this: not just any video camera will do. Helicopters give off a slight vibration which when viewing the results of a video feed will look very unsteady. Some cameras do have stabilizing features for better results. We recommend equipping your video equipment with a gyro stabilizer for the best results. For different solutions see below:

One option is to use the Tyler mini-mount.

Axis Technologies 5-axis gyro-stabilized gimbal mount. Featured camera system is the Sony HDC-1500. 3-CCD 2/3" Imaging devise, with the ability to record in 1080/50i,60i,24P,25P,30P,720/60P,50P.

Stratton Camera

Stratton Camera offers a full HD video camera that rents for approximately $500 per day. The camera can be mounted to a mini-gyro stabilizing platform.

The mini-gyro rents for approximately $500 per day. This can be rented separately if you already have a camera. Please contact Stratton Camera in Farmington Hills for more details and/or to rent their equipment.

Cameras

Bring your own camera and shoot from almost any angle from the helicopter. However, if you do not have a camera, White Pine Helicopters has a Nikon 10MegaPixel camera to capture brilliant digital photographs.
