Aerial Filming

Looking to commission or buy aerial footage of the UK?

Bradley.tv offers a comprehensive Aerial Filming service using Helicopters, Airships and Hovercams which opens up a whole new world of angles and perspectives for your project and gets your audience closer to the action. Most importantly it guarantees those all-important killer shots!

The Hovercam

The Hovercam is a remote controlled helicopter specifically designed to carry commercial film, video cameras and download links. These small, five feet long, radio controlled helicopters fly just like the real thing and are capable of hovering, flying forwards, backwards, sideways, up and down as well as rotating horizontally. In addition to being highly manoeuvrable, the camera can be panned and tilted individually in a gyro-stabilised mount. Typically Hovercam hire includes our pilot, the camera operator and a technician all working for our Director to fulfill your brief.

Hovercam, Helicopter or Airship?

The Helicopter

The conventional Helicopter comes complete with a specialist filming pilot, camera and camera mount. We are able to shoot on anything from RED to 16 and 35mm film, as well as a wide range of broadcast and high definition video formats. We always work from a pre-agreed shot list to ensure those killer shots make it back to base.

The sky’s the limit...

The Airship

The Indoor Airship is a 25m cubed helium filled envelope with a gyro stabilised camera mount suspended from the centre of gravity. Its powered by two electric motors and it can be used with commercial film or video cameras as well as down links. The envelope is constructed from high tenacity nylon yarns. The gondola thrusters and camera mount are made of carbon – reinforced epoxy resin and foam sandwich laminate. The thrusters have four bladed variable pitch fans (±10º) that can be vectored 0º – 90º, this coupled with a rear vectored (±90º), allows total 3D manoeuvrability. The airship is ideally suited to indoor arenas such as music concerts, exhibitions and sports events. As well as filming the airship can also be used for corporate advertising.
