Aerial Video Photo Platforms - Airplane - Helicopter - Bucket Truck -- Photography and Video Platforms

Airplane - Cessna 206

Both oblique and vertical aerial photographs are taken from our specially equipped Turbocharged Cessna 206 aircraft. The 206 also has large door on the right side which allows us to shoot video from the airplane. Airplane is the most economical and fastest platform for aerial photography. The FAA limits the minimum altitude for airplanes at 1000' above ground level and 500' from any person, structure, or vessel. Photo sites in cities with busy airspace can be more difficult to service. Obstructions in the vicinity of your photo site can also limit the use of airplane. However, if your site requires us to get lower, slower, or closer, we have several helicopters available for our use.

Having our own airplane makes it possible to go long distances for photography. We can routinely cover the east coast and travel as far as Texas to the south.

Helicopter - Robinson R44

When a lower, slower, and/or closer view of your site is needed, Above All has a helicopter and pilot readily available. Helicopters can fly in areas and altitudes which airplanes cannot go. Helicopter photography/video is more costly than airplane, but is the best platform for flying in congested areas and low levels. These photos/videos make for stunning views.

Aerial Bucket Truck - 35ft

Above All has a solution to your architectural and exterior photography needs. We have the option of using an aerial bucket truck to get a unique, ground-based perspective of a site. The boom on our truck has a 35ft reach, allowing us to photograph sites from tree top levels in almost any environment. See our portfolio for examples.
