Cinema in the slipstream.

The studio

Cinema in the slipstream.

We fly six rigs out of Santa Fe — sub-250 for tight interiors and doorways, a ducted cinewhoop for cinema near people, a custom 5-inch FPV with a single-axis gimbal for chase and slipstream, the AOS 8-inch cinelifter — a dual-cam “mini Inspire” running an action cam up front and an O4 in the rear for 4K, the Sicario (a 7-inch 8x cinelifter) for the Z Cam, RED Komodo, and FX3 when the brief calls for Netflix-approved bodies, and a DJI Mavic 3 Pro for traditional aerial cinematography. Every shoot is briefed, weather-windowed. We don’t fly the rig that’s available. We fly the rig that the shot needs.

Cinematography

Branded, fashion, event-aerial. We move with the brief — solo pilot, visual observer, sometimes alongside your director. RAW deliverables. Slate-syncable when the production calls for it.
