Snaproll Media: 2012 Reel

February 6th, 2012

By Factory Jackson in Lifestyle

For the past few years, SnapRoll Media has been at the forefront of remotely controlled aerial camera systems. Like most, they started out using DSLR cameras to record video, but it wasn’t long before the image quality wasn’t up to their standards. So, they began designing and building larger airframes to carry the weight of the cameras they really wanted to use and capture images like the ones in this reel. A stunning combination and one I hope we see more of.

Snaproll Media – Our hard work paid off. We were the first to successfully carry the RED ONE digital cinema camera safely and smoothly. Then, we added Vision Research’s Phantom Flex and Phantom Gold high speed cameras to our arsenal. Furthermore, we had the opportunity to be the first in the world to successfully fly the new RED EPIC on our proven remote controlled aerial system thanks to Jarred Land and Jim Jannard.

We are constantly researching, developing, and fine tuning our helicopters to carry larger cameras with maximum stability. The greatest reward is seeing our clients’ faces when we get the shot that no crane, cable cam, or full size helicopter was able to capture. 2012 will be full of incredible projects along with further R&D on bigger and better remotely controlled (RPV) aerial camera systems. Stay tuned!
