WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE THE ATM or LSG-2

WHY THE ATM & LSG-2 PRODUCES SUCH SMOOTH FOOTAGE?

"I've now used Arnie's stabilization system on aerial shoots for 3 different TV series.  I can honestly say that the most difficult part of using this system is evaluating the smoothness while airborne.  I'm shaking and the monitor is shaking, but once we land and play it back there is no doubt about the smoothness.  I can't wait to go back up."

"I love my Aerial Exposures mount.  I have been shooting handheld and with Tyler mounts for 25 years. As the budget have gotten tighter and tighter, convincing a client to spring for the expense of a Tyler or a Wescam is getting tougher and tougher. As an Aerial Cameraman, I know that handheld is not the solution for most aerial projects. Sometimes you can get away with a quick down and dirty handheld shot, but rarely do the weather conditions, assignment, helicopter motion and luck all converge at  that moment when you are spending thousands of dollars an hour.  I have realized that my reputation is on the line, and delivering mediocre handheld footage is not helping me in anyway.  I made the investment to have a mount available for every shoot.  After an easy learning curve, my LSG mount with 4 KS-8s have made the job so easy.  Instead of sweating my next handheld shoot, I now look forward to shooting and enjoy the day, and come back with awesome footage. This mount fits right into today's schedules and budgets.  When time and budget allow, Tyler and Wescam are still awesome tools and will always have a place in the business. The Aerial Exposures mount definitely fills a need in the Aerial business."  Dave Haycox

"I just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know how much we appreciate your incredible design on the Gyro Stabilized Camera Mount. Even more so, we appreciate all of the time you've spent after the sale in answering our questions and helping us to optimize our use of it. You are clearly not in this for the money, because you've spent countless hours on the phone with us and never asked for a thing in return- just knowledge of yet another VERY satisfied customer!  Since incorporating your Platform into our business, our numbers have shot through all previous projections. We are now preparing to purchase another helicopter, just for the video work. The system works so well and is bringing in so much new business that we can no longer accommodate all of the demand for new work. Thanks for giving our business a serious shot in the arm!!"  Executive Helicopters Inc. - Jeremy Bass

Dear Arnie,
Your Queen Mary 2 footage is fantastic.  Thanks so much for your patience during the many delays before departure and how ready you were to take to the sky and capture the images with ultimately little notice.  Your timing was exact, especially for the "money shot" of the ship passing under the Verrazano Bridge.  A very professional job well done.  Again, many thanks.

"I had a chance to look at the footage of the "Sunbelt Spirit" and it is the most “steady” aerial work I have ever seen!  That mount of yours is brilliant!  And bearing in mind it was frigid and you had to endure winds of nearly 40 mph!  It was a miracle that you even got off the ground let alone shoot such fantastic footage. Well Done!!! And thank you Arnie."  LAB

"The flight went great today, Thanks for all the tips. I have already gotten three good calls this week about the helicopter and mount.  Thanks for building a great product."  WM

"I just looked at the footage I shot using your new platform design.  Even though it was a gusty day, with 40mph winds, it’s incredible!  I am thrilled.  Thank you so much."  DC

HeloflightsUntil now professional camera stabilization from a moving platform has only been achieved through the use of very expensive stabilized mounts that are usually rented.  Developed for our own professional aerial photography business the Aerial Exposures Gyro Stabilized Mount & Platform is the most affordable stabilized video or film platform that produces professional quality stabilized imagery.  We believe that our patent pending Gyro Stabilized Platform is a breakthrough product in the areas of performance and price. This product will enable those of us without Hollywood-sized budgets to obtain stable, high quality video.  Why rent a camera mount for $3500-$8000 per week when you can afford to buy it?  Quality video from an aircraft, helicopter, boat, car, off road vehicle or any unstable moving platform is almost impossible without some form of stabilization.  The Aerial Exposures Gyro Stabilized Platform is a portable system that is quick to set up and will work for many different video applications.

 

Gyro-Stabilized Platform - Panasonic DVX-100

The Aerial Exposures Gyro Stabilized Platform is based on the use of Kenyon Laboratories Gyro Stabilizers.  Depending on the camera weight and the amount of stabilization required the system uses either two or three high powered gyro stabilizers.  Stabilization is provided in all three axes.  The use of the third gyro provides double stabilization in all three axes.  KS-8 gyros with tungsten wheels are recommended and provide the most stabilization although KS-6 gyros can also be used.
Built from high quality materials, the black anodized aluminum platform and frame are built to last.  The platform is quite compact and quickly folds for travel.  The frame is available in different sizes to accommodate a variety of cameras.

"We commissioned Aerialexposures.com to shoot aerial footage of Manhattan for our series 'Health Cops Undercover' for Discovery Health Channel. I was greatly impressed with both the level of service and the quality of the footage.  Not only was the brief executed perfectly, but we actually got much more than we asked for. The images greatly enhanced our programs, and I would recommend his services to anyone."  Philip Whelan – Series Producer ‘Health Cops Undercover’

"After several training flights we used the system on army day.  We used it for two hours of live transmission.  All the station people are very happy with your invention."  Fernando Banus, Technical Manager, Canal 9 - Telearte, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

"I have been the president of PQ Productions since I established the company in 1982. On a number of occasions over the past 20 years I have had the need for aerial video. Video I have taken from helicopters and aircraft has been disappointing and often had to be re-shot, at significant expense, to obtain some useable footage.  I've used aerial video that has been shot by Aerialexposures.com using their Gyro-Stabilized Video Platform. The video is exceptionally smooth and high quality. I have entrusted Aerialexposures.com with filming the aerial portions of my next documentary which will be shot over sections of the Hudson River and Palisades."  Perry Quaranta, President, PQ Productions, Inc.
