Only with the launch of our ‘nextGen’ range has a platform truly capable of delivering 1080p HD and HiRes RAW stills been available that also demonstrates the simplicity and quality expected from a Military-derived product.
In an industry where image quality is everything, our equipment allows you to explore a different view for video imagery for film and promotion opportunities.
All Broadcast and Media customers benefit from our User Support Programme which can be selected to include 24/7 telephone support, refresher training, additional equipment rental (with or without certified operator) and operational planning, derivation of risk assessments and method statements and so on.
Of particular note here is the forthcoming PheoniX6 platform which has the option to carry a ‘Red’ or 1080p HD camera with 2-person operation, 1 for flight, the other to control the 360° stabilised gimbal... and that's in addition to our data analysis, imagery enhancement, video editing, geo-referencing and stitching (including full 360° aerial panoramic stills) capabilities!
PheoniX6 with Dual-user 360° camera gimbal control - COMING SOON...
