LIGHTCRAFT PROVIDES A RANGE OF CINEMATOGRAPHY SERVICES: FROM AERIALS TO UNDERWATER AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
CINEMA FPV
FPV (or First Person View) is an aerial platform capable of extreme high speeds (120mph+) with maximum maneuverability. This system is best suited for covering large distances quickly and flying in close proximity to subjects or landscapes. Our roster of FPV pilots are the best in the business with drone racing titles and experience on Hollywood's biggest sets.
∇ HEAVY LIFT
HEAVY LIFT
Heavy lift drones are built for flying large cinema cameras for longer periods of time. Our heavy lift fleet is capable of carrying just about any cinema camera/lens combination with much longer flight times than their FPV counterparts. Heavy lift drones are not quite as fast as FPV drones, but feature greater image stability.
∇ HELICOPTER
HELICOPTER
Sometimes you need to go higher, faster, and farther. Lightcraft offers helicopter coordination services for use with some of the best 5-axis gimbals on the market. Our experienced group of gimbal operators and production staff efficiently coordinate with local helicopter service companies worldwide.
∇ ARM CAR
ARM CAR
Nothing complements aerials quite like an arm car. Our arm car solutions range in price and size so we can accommodate just about any budget. These vehicles offer a range of functions, operating in all sorts of terrain - on road, track, off-road or at sea.
∇ CABLE CAM
CABLE CAM
Our cable camera systems can repeat runs with extremely precise camera movement. These systems are quiet and easy to set-up, making them an ideal solution for live events or high-density locations. We utilize a number of different systems to ensure that no speed or distance is too much.
∇ GIMBALS
GIMBALS
We’ve been working with brushless gimbal systems since we were building them ourselves. We offer a number of different gimbal systems ranging from handheld to larger scale 5-axis systems. Whether in the studio or on the side of a mountain, we have the perfect gimbal for the job.
∇ HIGH SPEED CAMERAS
HIGH SPEED CAMERAS
From the Phantom Flex 4K to the Freefly Wave, we offer high speed camera services with expert technicians whose skills suit a range of cameras. Our team has experience using these camera systems in a number of different environments. Whether you need to operate in the studio, on a drone, or in the water, we have a high speed solution for almost every environment.
∇ ROVER
ROVER
Need a low angle movement system with extreme maneuverability? Our rover platform is the solution you seek. They might look like toys, but these systems are incomparably unique. Just like a heavy lift drone these systems are operated by a seasoned team (driver and operator) with extensive set experience.
∇ WATER CINEMATOGRAPHY
WATER CINEMATOGRAPHY
Our water cinematographers are some of the best in the business. We offer both surf housing services for operation at the surface and just underwater. We also provide dive housings for underwater capture at depths greater than thirty feet. We have housings for most camera platforms (Arri, RED, Sony, and Phantom) and we can also create custom housings should our existing stock be inadequate.
