Our new 6-prop will be arriving soon along with some extra goodies to help us provide even better angles with our aerial platform.  The new copter has 2 less motors than it’s big brother, and it should be roughly 2 inches thinner from side to side as well.  What’s the benefit, you ask?  The smaller copter is built to carry less weight, we have smaller HD cameras, and still cameras that this unit will be perfect for.  The 8-prop will serve as our work horse, lifting the heaviest weight, larger cameras.

With this addition, we’re upgrading some of our current operations as well.  We’ll be stepping up to the newest, most technologically advanced radios for better control, better FPV to see what we’re doing while we fly, and a 360º camera gimbal for unbelievable shots.  The gimbal will allow us to separate the responsibilities of pilot and the camera operator to 2 people.  The pilot will fly simple patterns (for extra stability and smoothness) and the camera operator will have un-restricted control of the camera at 360º with a separate controller.  A brand new FPV kit will round out our upgrades, to allow us to see what we’re shooting in-flight, by sending the video signal down to a 7″ monitor on the ground.

All of these upgrades will help us to provide our customers with the highest quality end-product.  By pushing ourselves to push the envelope, and by having the most technologically advanced equipment, we are able to do so.

This morning, in the freezing cold, we shot quite possibly the last aerial video of the Igloo as the crews continued to skin it. It was remarkable to see only a small amount of steel remaining and the maroon under-layer showing on nearly 70% of the iconic Pittsburgh arena. Maybe I shouldn’t be so sad to see it go? Maybe the rest of the burghers’ take it for granted. The truth is, in no time, it’ll be a parking lot…and that’s kind of sad.

On the brighter side of things, one of the shots that we took today was about 200 feet above the building, and it was entirely out of the shot. Pittsburgh was bathing in the golden morning sunlight, seemingly renewed, and moving forward.

It’s kind of neat to think that this isn’t the end of the world now that the Igloo is making it’s (not-so) grand exit, it’s just the next chapter for Pittsburgh. So long, Civic Arena. We had some good times…
