Testimonials
"Just wrapped a great Cineflex sequence on the new Burton snowboard film. The amazing gyro-stabilization of the V14 in windy mountain conditions saved our project. Read more...
~Brad Kremer, Director, Burton Snowboards
“I just wanted to say how pleased I am with the quality of the aerials that you shot. They are all fabulous, but my absolute favourite is the footage of the lava deep inside the earth – absolutely steady as a rock and gorgeous! This is a difficult series to plan in advance and we really appreciate the way you have been able to spring into action with such short notice and work so efficiently. Discovery Channel is really happy!”
