Cineflex (Booth No. 1644), the Helinet Aviation Services subsidiary that specializes in electromechanical motion control systems, made the trip to Heli-Expo this year to demonstrate its flagship product–the HiDEF gyro-stabilized aerial camera platform. Used primarily for television broadcasts, movie production and law enforcement, the Helinet/Cineflex system can steady an image through a zoom lens as long as 40X. Laying claim as the industry’s lightest gyro-stablized high-definition aerial camera, the HiDEF system uses Sony HDC-950 and HDC-F950 cameras.
Working for Fox
Recently deployed by the Las Vegas police department for aerial surveillance during New Year’s Eve, the system will go to work this Sunday for the Fox network during Super Bowl XXXIX. Network television stations in Denver, Phoenix and San Francisco all use the Helinet/Cineflex HiDEF for their electronic news gathering (ENG) operations.
