Equipment: RED EPIC, Phantom Flex, Phantom Gold, SmallHD DP6 & DP4
For the past few years, SnapRoll Media has been at the forefront of remotely controlled aerial camera systems. Like most, hey started out using DSLR cameras to record video, but it wasn’t long before the image quality wasn’t up to their standards. they began designing and building larger airframes to carry the weight of the cameras they and their clients wanted to use.
Their hard work paid off. they were the first to successfully carry the RED ONE digital cinema camera safely and smoothly. Then, they added Vision Research’s Phantom Flex and Phantom Gold high speed cameras to their arsenal. Furthermore, they had the opportunity to be the first in the world to successfully fly the new RED EPIC on their proven remote controlled aerial system thanks to Jarred Land and Jim Jannard.
They are constantly researching, developing, and fine tuning their helicopters to carry larger cameras with maximum stability. The greatest reward is seeing their clients’ faces when they get the shot that no crane, cable cam, or full size helicopter was able to capture. 2012 will be full of incredible projects along with further R&D on bigger and better remotely controlled (RPV) aerial camera systems. Stay tuned!
