Off Track: High Velocity Aerial Filming
Aerial Filming took a giant leap forward when Swedish aerial specialist, Peter Degerfeldt at Blue Sky bluesky.se challenged Gyro-stabilized Systems in Grass Valley, US, to build a GSS 520 5 axis system that would produce rock solid images at a speed of more than 300 knots per hour.
Blue Sky’s client, the Swedish company Saab Defence and Security, required high end motion and stills for their multirole fighter Gripen. gripen.com
Normally, all stabilization systems on the market are approved for helicopters, and thus a speed of maximum 125 knots per hour.
Saab required at least 300 knots for their filming and stills projects.
