Nikon D300 DSLR Blimp System |
|
|
|
The Nikon D300 is the highest-performance camera available for use in balloon photography. The quality of the aerial photos is amazing. It is a very heavy camera and requires a 15ft/4m blimp. The D300, combined with our systems, create the best overall solution for high-value photographs. Using the ”Live View“ function of the camera, we transmit down to the ground station the exact frame the camera will capture. No guessing at zoom level, compensating for angle differences or horizontal alignment, what you see is what you get because we don’t use a 2nd camera behind the view finder, we use the camera’s video output.
Features:
• Unlimited rotation.
• 100 degree tilt.
• U-joint leveler.
• Designed to accommodate your Nikon D300 camera DPREVIEW
• RC transmitter controls pan, tilt, zoom and trigger!
Typical Uses for the Nikon D300
• Large, detailed shots that will be used at different enlargements
• Intended for an active, commercial aerial photographer
• Real estate photos
• Condo photos, from floor views to building elevations to oblique site shots
• Microwave tower site surveys
• Altitude landscape photos of parks, monuments, cities and towns
• Everything the smaller systems can do

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.
