Helivideos

Helivideos is a helicopter-based aerial video production company that specializes in capturing cinematographic footage from dynamic aerial angles. The company operates a fleet of helicopters equipped with gyro-stabilized camera rigs, remote recording heads, and high-end digital cinema cameras to deliver cinematic footage for film, television, advertising, and live events.

Founded in the early 2000s by a team of cinematographers and pilots, Helivideos expanded from a regional operation into a national service provider with a diversified fleet and a network of licensed operators. The company emphasizes safety, regulatory compliance, and efficient workflow to meet production deadlines.

Technology and services: Helivideos uses a range of helicopters from lightweight to medium-lift platforms, outfitted with stabilized gimbals, crane-like camera arms, and sometimes drone-assisted tracking. It shoots with 4K and HDR-capable cameras, supports matte box and lens options, and coordinates with grip and lighting teams.

Operations and safety: Projects are preceded by flight planning, risk assessments, weather analysis, and coordination with aviation authorities. Teams follow established safety protocols, conduct site surveys, and maintain emergency procedures. The company also handles permissions, airspace coordination, and noise management for urban shoots.

Applications and impact: Helivideos serves film studios, broadcasters, advertising agencies, and live event organizers. Its footage is used in action sequences, establishing shots, sport coverage, and documentary storytelling, contributing to visually expansive narratives through aerial perspective.
