SHOTOVER F1 - THE DAY-TO-DAY WORKHORSE
Not too large and not too small, the Shotover F1 is a powerful and versatile mount that can be adapted to suit most needs. From broadcast to features to other, more specialised applications, this is our go - to platform for most projects. This is a cutting - edge stabilised helicopter camera mount designed to deliver unparalleled stability and precision, making it one of the most sought - after tools for advanced aerial cinematography in the film and television industries. Engineered to be fitted to various types of helicopters , the F1 also supports a wide range of camera systems and lenses, thus offering immense flexibility no matter the application. Shotover ’s advanced 6 - axis stabilization technology ensures ultra - smooth, vibration - free footage, even during high - speed sequences or in turbulent environments, allowing filmmakers to capture dynamic, yet highly finessed material with great precision . And the unit ’s lightweight design does not compromise durability - ideal for demanding productions where reliability is key.
What can go inside the F1? So powerful and flexible is the system we can fit near any type of lens from ultra - wide through to focal lengths up to and exceeding 1000mm. All major digital cinema and broadcast camera models can be supported. Sony, Arri, Red, Canon and other more specialised cameras can all be paired with a wide variety of lenses by makers such as Angenieux, Canon, Fujinon and Panavision.
SHOTOVER K1 - THE CAMERA PLATFORM ON STEROIDS
The Shotover K1 is a larger, high - performance 6 - axis helicopter camera mount. It ’s substantial open platform design allows us to accommodate the largest of payloads, making it the most sought-after tool for specialised aerial applications and feature film production. The K1’s stabilisation ensures smooth, shake-free footage even in demanding conditions, allowing filmmakers to capture complex shots with exceptional clarity. Its modular design facilitates quick reconfiguration for different filming setups. Advanced control options offer flexibility for operators. So powerful are the Shotover drive motors that it’s standard practice (under most conditions) for us to run out setups without any protective glass in front of the lens. This ensures the optical quality of all images captured remain compromise free. With its ability to deliver stunning shots from any perspective, the Shotover K1 is a go-to tool for top-tier productions.
What can go inside the K1? Sony, Arri, Red, Canon, Panavision and other more specialised cameras can all be paired with a wide variety of lenses by makers such as Canon, Fujinon and Panavision. It’s also possible to mount traditional film cameras, rigs designed for IMAX production, multi camera and lens combinations and complex arrays where ultra-high resolution deliverables are called for. Almost anything is possible!
