“Shotover delivers breathtaking, motion picture quality images in a package that’s
portable, user friendly and flexible enough to allow aerial cinematographers to select the
camera and lens configuration that best suits their particular shooting requirements,”
said Nowell. “And not just on a project to project basis, but on an actual shot to shot
basis, which means a production can capture the footage it needs in a shorter amount of
time than has been traditionally possible.”
“Aerial cinematography is one of the few areas of the motion picture industry that has
remained relatively unchanged for the past two decades,” said Hans Bjerno. “Shotover
makes possible an entirely new model for aerial shooting, not just for DPs, but for
producers, directors and production companies who are looking for a more agile system.
I am extremely pleased to join the great team of investors behind this new product.”

n Can be shipped excess baggage
– yes, no box over 32kgs.
n A reliable, GPS assisted
horizon – fully steerable too.
n No waiting for calibration or gyro spin-up
– system boots quicker than the camera.

lens – no jiggling flares!
n No ‘gyro-lock’ in vertical – 90° lookdown without system going crazy.
n Super-wide roll range –
effective +-90° of roll.

the lens axis, not offset.

n +360° rotation in pan axys.
Speed limited by the helicopter,
not the head.
