SKYSHOT HELIKITE

The Most Practical Aerial Photography & Video System Ever Created.

South Of England

 
QUICK SkyShot Helikite inflates with helium in a minute, and then flies itself up to 1000 feet altitude, with or without wind. It can automatically take 700 x 10 mega-pixel pictures in under 6 minutes, with up to 3x magnification. Then you just reel in and go!

CONVENIENT SkyShot can be used almost anywhere and can be carried fully inflated in an estate car or van. The 1 cubic metre SkyShot Helikite is only 3ft 3in x 4ft 4in x 5ft 5in when fully inflated. Only uses one cubic metre (35cu ft) of safe, inert helium gas.

HIGH QUALITY The unique patented SkyShot Helikite is a superbly stable aerial platform giving sharp photos even on windy days. Takes superb high or low altitude shots.

The SkyShot Helikite seems very simple, but we believe that this unique combination of speed, safety, high altitude, reliabilty, ease-of-use,  picture quality, and silence makes it the finest aerial photography system available - at any cost.

They screw directly onto the SkyShot Helikite's pan and tilt unit and immediately start taking hundreds of continuous photos ( Minolta Dimage G400, Minolta Dimage G530, Minolta Dimage G600, Canon Ixus 60 & 750, Canon Ixus 860 (with wide angle lens and image stabilisation), Richoh GR Digital, Richoh R6 Capilio, Pentax Optio A10, Casio Exslim & others).
