Helicopter aerials

Keep pace.

For fast yachts and ambitious aerial photography, a helicopter opens up another way to work. Above around 25 knots of cruising speed, we recommend assessing a helicopter shoot to keep pace and build sustained tracking sequences. The choice depends on the shot, conditions and flight plan.

The flight is arranged with an aviation operator. Jocelyn coordinates the photographic brief; a specialist camera operator can join the production according to the aircraft and the required images.
