Drones
Helinet has worked in the motion picture, television and commercial production industries for over 30 years. We have adapted our proven procedures and protocols with helicopters to our drone services. Our experience on-set with UAS platforms dates back to 2015 when we first began integrating camera packages into heavy lift drones to implement drone videography in Los Angeles and beyond. We have continued to carry this knowledge into our current drone filming systems and are proud to be the first to fly the Arri Alexa 65, Arri Alexa LF and Sony Venice cameras on drones for commercial productions.
