Large-sized DSLR Balloon Systems |
|
The large-sized Digital SLR systems are widely used by professional photographers including those with the NY Times and the BBC. Aerial Products' systems can handle almost any camera and lens combination. With no high-frequency vibration like helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft, our balloon systems are not only an economical alternative, they are a higher-quality alternative.
If you need full camera exposure control using Breeze Sys software ask us about our completely wireless solution.

Blimp compared to Kingfisher
The blimp system, which includes a back up ball, can fly in winds up to approximately 15 mph/24kph. The camera gimbal is mounted directly below the balloon. The blimp and ball do not require a winch to hold the tether line.
The Kingfisher, even a small version, can fly in winds up to 50 mph/80kph. In the smaller size necessary for the point and shoot cameras, a winch MAY not be required. However, in higher winds a winch is necessary to hold onto the tether as the balloon will pull in excess of 100 to 150 pounds. With the Kingfisher, the camera gimbal is mounted 10ft./3m below the balloon on the main tether line using the included aluminum or carbon fiber triangle.
About the camera purchase service, we are sorry, but we are not able to offer this service on the full-frame 35mm DSLRs.

Graphics Requirements:
Vectored art works best for all graphics since they can be resized without loss of quality. Typical programs used for vectored art are Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw! and QuarkXpress. (.ai, .eps, .pdf, .cdr, with all fonts converted to curves)
Rastered art will work only for digital graphics but MUST BE ACTUAL PRINTED SIZE. Anything smaller will not reproduce well. Typical programs used for rastered art are Adobe Photoshop and Paintshop Pro. (.jpg, .tif, .psd, 100dpi) Rastered art is not useable for vinyl graphics.
Digital graphics are only available on white or two-toned inflatables.
