The Aircraft

Robinson R44 Raven II

Flying TV is the only UK operator to offer purpose built Robinson R44 aerial filming helicopters. These 21st century machines are both safe and efficient whilst giving you, the client, value for money.

With on-board VHF coms and COFDM HD video transmitters for live work, they really are flying TV studios. And following extensive R&D in partnership with Eurolynx, we also offer up-look transmission for live work with a relay aircraft.

Airbus AS355 Twin Squirrel

In addition to our Robinson helicopters, we occasionally operate the Airbus AS355 Twin Squirrel. Perfect for shoots where the brief requires us to fly low over built up areas.

Aerial Filming Worldwide

Our GSS Cinema Pro gimbal, together with cameras, lenses and aircraft mounts, is available with a tech/op for filming tasks worldwide.

The whole system packs into six, sub-32kg cases that can travel as excess baggage – and as the gyro technology used in the GSS is not ITAR sensitive, it can travel to destinations that would otherwise be difficult.
