The primary advantage of low level aerial photography is the
ability to capture images at a lower angle of view closer to
the subject than possible with a conventional aircraft that
is required to stay above 500' above ground level. We an
also provide views looking out from the floors of a proposed
(not yet there) building even if the location is for
instance a full parking lot. To do this we use a
tethered helium blimp with a 3 axis stabilized radio control
camera mount. The operator has a video downlink
providing a remote view of the camera LCD screen with the
altitude of the camera overlaid.
