SR-3: Heavy Lifter

Stacks Image 70

Custom designed and built in-house by our chief pilot / UAV Systems designer, this single rotor heavy lifter was designed to effortlessly fly a Red Epic Dragon 6K with heavier Cine Style lenses. The powerful single rotor with custom blade pitch design makes this airframe ultra fast and highly maneuverable in 3D space. A brushless 3-axis camera gimbal with our unique de-coupled mounting system produces completely stable images independent of the direction, speed and action of the helicopter - including stable hover for longer action scenes or VFX work.
