    Wouldn't it be great if all web sites were honest about their true ability (or intention) to deliver as promised? But they're not. As such, the majority of on-line buyers are still nervous about ordering something they can't see from someone they don't know and can't decide whether to trust. Continued proliferation of e-commerce will require global standards of conduct, which, like the Internet itself, transcend geographic and political borders. In the absence of tangible contact, on-line buyers need a new way to evaluate the reliability of on-line sellers, and on-line sellers need a means to convey their credibility to potential customers. We set the standards for low altitude photography systems. All others imitate while we innovate. You will see our unique equipment... All Floatographsystems designs are our creations.

    We have been manufacturing our systems since 1989 and was the first U.S.A. company to manufacture Blimp Aerial Photography Systems, and 50 Foot High Quality Video Production Telescoping Mast Systems.

    We are the only company that offers the SKY-DOC Balloon. Have you ever heard of a 'sky hook'? Now there is one! The SKY-DOC™ Balloon overcomes the forces that winds have on standard design balloons and blimps. The more forceful the wind, the more lift the SKY-DOC™ Balloon develops. It has been tested in a wind tunnel with 90 MPH winds, it could sustain additional force, but this was the highest wind speed the wind tunnel could develop.
