SpaceCam:
SpaceCam has captured industry standards for performance, flexibility and reliability. This, coupled with unrivaled customer and logistical support, make SpaceCam the clear choice for the majority of serious film and digital productions. Without question, today SpaceCam is the industry standard, providing more advanced capabilities and more versatility than any competing system. SpaceCam was the first gyro-stabilized system to offer not only helicopter side mounts, but also tail and nose mounts. The Nose Mount, which allows for faster flight speeds in aerial filming, permits the camera to follow the action with pan and tilt speeds much faster than competing systems. With the advent of highly stabilized and controllable gyro-stabilized platforms, cinematographers are increasingly tempted to use longer lenses, which can create focus problems. SpaceCam’s fully tested and operational laser auto focus system virtually guarantees sharp, consistent focus under all lighting conditions with even very long focal lengths. It has been used extensively on a number of major films and has performed flawlessly.
Wescam (Pictorvision):
The Wescam 35mm system set the standard for stabilized imagery in cinematography. Today, customers continue to benefit from the system’s trusted performance, reliability and familiarity of use. Flown in all continents and more than 60 countries, Wescam 35mm Aerial System spawned the aerial stabilization industry, winning an Academy Award for its contribution to the motion picture industry.
