Aerial Hotshots portable mast photography system, sometimes called pole photography or polecam, is designed to capture an elevated viewpoint without the use of an aircaft or helicopter. Mast images are generally not obscured by walls, fences, or shrubbery.
Our Photography Masts are fitted with high resolution digital SLR cameras, wide angle lenses and a remote controlled pan/tilt head. The images are previewed and shot via remote software by tethering the camera to our laptop below.
Depending on the assignment, we have a number of Mast Photography options and services available. Some are more labour intensive and therefore cost extra. Our trailer Mast System is our most versatile and cost effective option.
We offer standard image capture (generally 6 images) or we can shoot a complete panorama and stitch your images together to provide a 360 tour. (see below)
Mast Photography System Options.
1. Trailer Mounted Mast System (50ft) [*New - Will be in service in February 2012*]
An 'A' frame system carries the Mast horizontally on the trailer and allows us to pivot the Mast into the vertical position for image capture.
Benefits of our trailer mounted Mast system include;
1. It is our most versatile option,
2. Is Pneumatic Launched,
3. Has upper and lower adjusters for horizontal and vertical allignment of the Mast,
4. Is a larger diameter and therefore more rigid Mast
5. Elevates to 50 feet or 15 metres.
2. Towbar Vehicle Mount (40 ft Mast)
Designed for areas where we do not have access for our mobile mast trailer system and where multiple launches are required. The 40ft Mast is mounted to our vehicles tow bar. A less labour intensive option for multiple launches than option 3.
3. Tripod Mast (40 ft Mast)
Designed for areas where there is no vehicle access. This is a labour intensive option and as such the cost is higher.
