aerial photography

Based in South Bristol, we are well located to undertake work anywhere in the Midlands, Wales and Southern England. We are able to work both in rural and urban areas. Our pilots are also trained photographers which allows them to understand the needs of our photographic teams in order to give optimal results possible, in the quickest time. The Avonair photographic team can use either digital or wet film up to large format to suit your needs.

The Robinson 44 is a versatile platform for photographic work as the front and back doors can be removed independently allowing ample room for filming or still work. We are also accustomed to working with 'doors-off' which enables a more accurate platform to achieve your requests. Intercommunication between the pilot, camera operator and other passengers is provided by a sophisticated noise-cancelling head-set system which allows precise instructions to be passed between the pilot and the camera crew. The camera operator's head-set has an independent system incorporated to avoid wind interference. In addition we can arrange the fitting of camera mounts if required. Costs vary with type, so please contact us with your specific requirements.

We recommend that depending on your needs, we begin with a local orientation of the area you wish to photograph. We operate on a one hour’s minimum hire period; after the first hour the remainder of the flight is charged pro-rata.

Avonair’s main goals are safety, flexibility, comfort and style. We take every care to ensure that your needs are fully understood and met.
