Helicopters
The choice of Camera Helicopter and Pilot is important.
Its choice depends on the type of shot and where that shot takes place. So, the nearest helicopter to the shooting location isn't always the best move.
We will recommend a helicopter type for a specific job based on the location and the type of shot. Then, we will find the appropriate helicopter from the nearest source. We are lucky to have wonderful working relationships with some of the best companies and pilots worldwide.

Bell 206/206L
Whereas the Bell 206L is a very usable helicopter at lower altitudes, The Bell 206 (Jet Ranger) is somewhat underpowered when being used with the more modern mounts such as Shotover and Cineflex, however it is still possible to get usable material if operated in light conditions and with an experienced pilot.
