Air Manics Remote Control Helicopter Photography

Wednesday 23rd November, 2011 - 2:21pm

Windsurfing Photographer Sebastian Schoeffel has launched Air Manics Aerial Photography Services using Remote Control (RC) Helicopter shooting.

Sebastian said : 'We shoot aerial cinematography and photography through the use of RC helicopters. With this High-Tech equipment we are able to shoot nearly every angle our customers may need. The system is very flexible in changing position, landing, weather alternation and other problems/wishes during a shooting.

Through our video downlink system we are able to shoot about 1000 m around the operator platform and control our camera from the ground.

One flight lasts up to 15 minutes depending on hight, speed (up to 80 km/h) and the environment.  We take video in FULL HD and shoot images up to 22 MP with very high quality cameras and different lenses controlled from the ground!.We've spent a year getting it to this stage but the best is yet to come!'


High wind testing is about to commence but check out how crisp the images are already despite the vibrations in this awesome clip - full feature coming soon!
