Black Armored Drone - Coaxial Hexacoptor 12 Rotor Aerial Cinematography Platform

Once we first began construction aerial digicam systems, we requested round to determine what digital camera we will have to layout it for. "Epic!" was once the solution. So we set a layout goal of a RED Epic and PL-mount primes." So we set concerning the job to layout the most productive rig on the planet, in a position to taking the some of the perfect movie cameras, along with the entire lens, HD hyperlinks, lens cars and digital camera keep an eye on, with essentially the most complex digicam stabilisation ever observed on a Faraway Aerial Cinematography unit... An excessively constructive layout aim:.

A RED Epic coupled with and a just right top is in a position to produce a few unforgettable pictures, that is why it is the digicam of selection for the most important Hollywood blockbusters and now as a stills digital camera for the worlds glossiest mag covers.  It shoots a hundred and twenty fps 5K uncooked - that means a hundred and twenty frames in step with 2nd the place each and every body is a 14 MP nonetheless symbol.
However that was once nonetheless no longer sufficient.
A lens and digicam is most effective as sharp as the point of interest+iris is about. One nice-having a look shot we're requested to do once in a while is to be with regards to one thing after which move both instantly up or sideways away. So as to stay the topic in focal point there's wanted a far off focal point pulling machine. Fortunately this isn't a brand new requirement and a number of excellent faraway techniques are in the marketplace, however not one of the present Octocopter designs had been even just about having the payload or regulate features wanted.  Type helicopeter developers don't seem to be Cinematographers.  We're......

Our B.A.D. Black Armored Drone, whole wwith far flung fiz-keep an eye on, was once first used at in Anger for a top finish broadcast manufacturing of Ljud & Bildmedia in Would possibly 2013
Our layout objective for the Black Armored Drone is 9kg of three-axis virtual stabilised payload, that is greater than every other plane at this worth element, and offers sufficient for steadiness, keep an eye on and payload capability for

• RED Epic
• PL-mount zoom or masterprime
• Dovetail, rods mount, fast-unlock plate
• Receiver and cars for far flung focal point, iris and zoom keep an eye on
• HD downlink

After all, having the most efficient technical aerial platform on the earth is best a part of the answer, Black Armored Drone, have our personal in-space Crimson Epic Dragon 6K, (BMD Manufacturing digicam is on again-order) , however in spite of this era, with out skilled workforce it does not imply an entire lot.  We now have broadcast and cinematic cameramen and operators with over 25 years of expience and credit starting from Function Movies, BBC Flora and fauna, Sports activities, Olympics, Tune video and Are living OB paintings and our pilots are hand picked as being the most efficient of their box.  Our primary digicam operator used to be topped the International Champion "3-D far off helicopter magnificence".

Airplane Options Come with:

• Best payload capacity of any Drone, in a position to taking an absolutely equiped Pink Epic
• Absolute best accuracy, Virtual three axis gyro-stabilised digital camera gimbal with pan and tilt.
• Base Station Digital camera keep watch over for Camerman/DoP.
• Reside video circulate to floor base stations to independently reveal
  • Major digicam view - for DoP, Cameraman, Director, Manufacturer and the like.
  • Pilot POV - For impartial Pilot flight view
• Extremely complex Waypoint flight making plans.
• Recent pc and GPS Satellite tv for pc era for secure, correct and solid flights
• Licensed for Out of doors & Indoor operation
• Unparalelled protection the use of battery powered Electrical automobiles (no flammable beverages)
• Absolutely CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) licensed airplane and operators

Twin Virtual Gyro-Stabilization Gadget

At the same time as the layout and construct of the helicopter is very important, reaching nice broadcast & cinematic effects is the area of the digicam (Crimson Epic), Operator (in-space broadcast & Cinematic skilled digital camera operators) and closing however no longer least, the Digital camera Gimble/Pan & Tilt camara giro stabilised digital camera mount.
We now have examined many devices prior to settling on what we believe the most productive there may be to go with our Purple Epic digital camera device.

The gimbal (digicam head) is designed backside up for the top finish cinematographer. There's a customized Digicam Keep an eye on Unit (CCU) to be had as an possibility, providing complete keep an eye on over velocity, exponentials, ramp/clear out and lots of different settings to position the cinematographer in complete keep an eye on of the filming.

Black Armored Drone .... Digicam Head Keep an eye on

The Gimbal Keep watch over Unit, or GCU for brief, is an advanced controller for the cinematic gimbal. It's been advanced with pros from the function movie, tv and broadcast industries. Whilst it's imaginable to keep an eye on the gimbal from a Transmitter, the CCU provides significantly better keep watch over. There are separate settings for velocity, ramp and exponential for each and every of the 3 gimbal axis. Separate ergonomic buttons are to be had for converting the route of joystick motion and to permit stow-mode. It's imaginable to make use of the CCU seated at a table, to hold it with the integrated ergonomic again-strap or to have it within the lap. The CCU comes with mounts for commonplace displays and additional apparatus corresponding to video hyperlinks.

Our Customized and synthetic wi-fi Digicam Regulate Unit (CCU) has been constructed from the bottom as much as supply digicam and gimbal controls in a well-known and extremely correct method, so that anybody that has used faraway/scorching heads, cineflex, stab-c, alpha head, Polecam, Movement regulate will straight away really feel at house with the texture of the keep watch over floor and the degrees and accuracy of regulate.
Using our personal proprietory DATA hyperlink, we will impliment subtle and devoted keep an eye on for various cameras and lens regulate or peripheral apparatus. All different drones generally tend to make use of radio type controllers, which can be designed to regulate type planes, helicopters, vehicles or boats.... Somewhat other from the calls for and necessities of controlling a scorching head and digital camera remotely.   We additionally hire a extremely complicated actual-time wi-fi video device for the digicam operator/DoP to observe the digital camera.

Far off Wi-fi Video Tracking

Our Cinematic drone has wi-fi digital camera hyperlinks, offering separete base stations at the flooring with unbiased tracking perspectives from the drone while in flight.

Gimbal Operator Reveal - The use of our Pink Epic Dragon 6K or different HD & 4K Cameras, the video feed supplies the digital camera operator, DoP, Director and so forth., the use of our customized "flooring-station", with a tracking high quality view of what the principle digicam is seeing/recording, allowing the Director/operator to compose and nail the pictures first time, with none bet-paintings as to what the digital camera may well be recording.
This 7.eight" display too can information the HD video straight away to the on-board garage.
Floor Station Tracking supplies both twin eight" (one video, the opposite waverform/vectorscope for engineering) or one 17" HD Screen/s, to allows staff equivalent to Center of attention Puller, DoP, Administrators and so on to have an unbiased view of what we're filming and every tracking station has an eight-approach HD SDI Distribution Amplifier in-built, in order that it is simple on region to take cabled video feeds to DIT or Video Village.   Our eight" and 17" monitors too can have HD recording inbuilt to offer wireless evaluate of the pictures, a super timesaver on set.
WIFI Tracking   We will arrange an area WIFI for the Floor Station Tracking to be able to then  permit team with password get right of entry to to view the digital camera video in actual-time from their good telephone or pill or even to permit are living streaming for workforce in different places or nations to watch the shoot.
