What is Floatography TM ?

FLOATOGRAPHY ( fló· tog´· ra· phy ) The exclusive process of photographing any subject using remote-controlled still or video cameras suspended from a helium-filled blimp which operates 10 to 500 feet above the ground or 50 foot telepod .

It is an exciting, innovative way to present almost any earthbound site!


If Aladdin could have looked down from his magic carpet, his view would have been much the same as the perspective of our airborne camera's eye. The floating platform silently climbs and hovers at just the right height. Meanwhile, the groundbased floatographer operates remote controls and monitoring equipment to position the camera until optimum angle and photo composition are attained, thereby creating an original FloatographTM.


FLOATOGRAPHYTM is unquestionably today's most versatile and economical way to capture photographic images from above. Our lightweight blimp can be easily transported anywhere on the site that is accessible by foot. Our 50 foot telepod can be easily transported anywhere on the site that is accessible by a vehicle.


Since fixed wing aircraft and helicopters are regulated in how low they may fly (not below 500 feet), Floatography TM surpasses these convenional aerial photographic methods with its unique ability to maintain a steady altitude while shooting closer to the subject,(under 500 feet), at a lower level. This eliminates the need for costly enargements and permits a much sharper image.


FLOATOGRAPHYTM provides the most distinctive and effective way to comprehensively display construction sites, residential and industrial real estate parcels, or any other subjects that ground photography cannot portray with high impact and interest. FloatographyTM is also an ideal method for showcasing private homes, and commemorating family reunions or other large gatherings of people. For these reasons, many companies are discovering that FloatographyTM is the best answer to their current elevated or aerial photo needs.


The economics FLOATOGRAPHYTM provides are bringing this exclusive service into budget range for a vast array of businesses and individuals interested in preserving important subjects in a most unique way.

By using blimps or telescoping masts as remote controlled camera lifting systems to 500 feet.

State of the art system provides precision low level (10' to 500') aerials, superior to and more cost effective than planes or helicopters. We accomplish this with the use of a blimp which is tethered and remote controlled from the ground. It is more precise, environmentally friendly and far more cost effective! And, because of it's design, our system can safely operate over large crowds and in confined areas not accessible to aircraft, booms or cranes.
No experience required!

With our FloatographTM Systems, you can provide top quality photos with a rapid delivery time.

Your use of sophisticated FloatographTM remote controlled electronic and photographic equipment allows you to offer exciting aerial photographs of industrial, residential, or commercial properties.

Numerous benefits include:

  • Remote viewing of scene via a micro-video cam.

  • Ground based controller allows +360 degree panning, +200 degree tilt, video viewing, and shutter release.

  • No "fly past" problems - Photos are taken from a steady platform.

  • Go where no helicopter or plane can go, FAA regulations limit them to 500 to 1000 feet above almost all locations. You can operate well below these staggering heights.
  • Steady picture platform - No vibration is transfered to camera.

  • Many Applications - New fields of creativity based on reasonable cost.

  • Motion Dampening Devices eliminate blurred photos.

  • Haze or motion is not a factor as it is with planes or helicopters. In most cities, atomospheric haze is on the rise. To cut through this haze, you must shoot from a lower altitude. 10-500 feet is perfect..

  • Environmentally friendly; no noise, no exhaust gases, less natural resources expended, helium is a natural product, and one charge is usable for months.
