Key Filming Tips

  1. Camera Stabilization: Use gimbals and helicopter-mounted mounts for smooth aerial shots.

  2. Lens Selection: Wide-angle lenses for landscapes, telephoto for peak close-ups.

  3. Flight Timing: Early morning for sunrise shots, late afternoon for warm light and soft shadows.

  4. Altitude Considerations: Plan shots at 4,000–4,200 m near ABC for maximum peak coverage while ensuring passenger comfort.

  5. Battery & Equipment: High-altitude flights drain batteries faster. Carry spares for cameras, drones, and gimbals.
