Checkout some insightful commentary from aerial film pilot Fred North and aerial DP Dylan Goss highlighting their experience on Hollywood films.

Helicopter pilot Fred North is consistantly taking productions to new heights and we are thrilled to see what new projects are underway.

Working closely with Aerial DP Dylan Goss, Team 5 has developed a new application of aerial wireless video transmission for large studio projects. With cameras shooting from a helicopter, video is transmitted via an RF link to the director who is watching at a safe distance. Using this ultra-compact and ruggedized Makito X1 delivers exceptional reliability in the face of the challenging environmental conditions on board an aircraft.

The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios' grand conclusion to twenty-two films, "Avengers: Endgame."  Team 5 was thrilled to be apart of this movie, providing top notch visuals and aerial shots. 

A family's serenity turns to chaos when a group of doppelgängers begins to terrorize them. We are proud to have been apart of this movie. Jordan Peele has proven to be a master of Horror with another #1 hit in the box office.

On set with Ben Affleck's new movie, Triple Frontier. Team5's rain spinner becomes an integral part of the shoot. Regardless of weather, Team5's Shotover K1 will be well prepared with this invaluable tool.

Avengers: Infinity War releases today into theatres with much anticipation. The film, ten years in the making, is action- and star-filled, and utilized both drone and helicopter gimbals from Team5 for their aerial needs. Through the remote wilderness, busy downtowns, and beautiful scenery, Team5 had the right tool to accomplish the shot.

The New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles put on a great show - and one with a good chance to see a few recent Team5 projects, including the innovative in-game promo for Skyscraper featuring Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Showing some awesome piloting by Frederic North and the camerawork of Aerial DP Dylan Goss. Coming to theatres Summer 2018.

Supporting 4K production, the Fujinon ZK25-300mm T3.5 toT 3.85 Cabrio Premier Lens is a 12x zoom for super 35mm size single sensor cameras, and it features a PL mount. The long zoom range allows you to shoot medium wide to long shots without changing lenses.

We’re currently on three continents with four countries occupied with TEAM5 gear. It’s been another busy summer with big aerials, long trips, and amazing footage being captured.
