NSA Van
The North Star Aerial Van has to be one of our most valuable assets. Our Van is the center of our aerial ecosystem. Having everything with us is key to being fast and efficient on location. We often charge batteries on the fly, manage media and prep gear in the NSA Van.
NSA Rover
Custom built NSA Rover adds low angle tracking shots and is off road capable. The rover allows us to maintain a consistent, smooth speed for easily repeatable shots. Max speed is 30 mph.
video assist
Nailing that epic shot starts with a plan. Client and directors monitors allow you to see the plan executed in real time so you have the confidence we got the shot.
“Roger That”Communications
Communication is key for an efficient and safe production.
Aircraft Radio
Portable Aircraft Radio. When we operate in controlled airspace this radio allows us to communicate with other aircraft in or around our area of operation.
EARTEC Headsets
We rarely do a shoot without our headsets. Split second hands free coordination is key and our eartec headsets allow us to do just that. Constent contact ease communication between the crew, the talent and directors.
Walkie-Talkie
The walkie-talkie’s are also important and are used daily on set. Providing additional communication for additional crew members.
