Check out my new Frankfurt 4K Showreel. This shows beauty shots footage gathered over the years filming car commercials, HBO series, and some movies for cinema. It's only Frankfurt. Obviously. The focus is Frankfurt, so there are only Frankfurt-based shots in here.

Lots of sunrise, sunset, dawn, and broad daylight shots compiled into one video.

Hope you like it.

Raising the bar….again!
As probably one of the first aerial teams worldwide, we flew the brand new DJI Ronin 2 prototype on our RAWcopter. The incredible setup consists of an ARRI Alexa Mini with a Canon cine-zoom CN7x17 (17-120mm), with three motors for full control over focus, iris and zoom, as well as a lightweight Bright Tangerine mattebox with a 4 x 5.6“ circular polarizing filter.

That’s a new benchmark in this segment. We have lots of unique content of the DJI Ronin 2 in a professional film production environment coming up next. Stay tuned As probably one of the first teams worldwide we have flown the new dji Ronin 2 (Prototype) to our big raw copter!
The System with the Arri Alexa mini and the Canon Cn7x17 (17-120 mm) Cine Zoom Lens, three engines for focus, Iris and zoom, as well as 4 x 5.6 " Filter is outstanding and definitely sets the benchmark in this Segment.

Look forward to much more content around the Ronin 2, also from our Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG camera vehicle, soon more!

We extensively put the DJI Ronin 2 through his paces!
With three different Canon Cine-Zooms lenses CN-E 15.5-47mm, CN-E 30-105mm and CN7x17 17-120mm, the Bright Tangerine Misfit Atom mattebox and an ARRI Alexa Mini with three C-Force motors for focus, iris and zoom, we tested out the capabilities!

...what if limits only exist to break them?

We consider ourselves as a company which is constantly pushing the technical limits further, always driven by our passion and love for details and highest quality standards. But what if there's someone that is equally crazy, equally passionate and working at such a high level of engineering?

Today we announce not only a new partnership, but also set a new milestone in .

We couldn't be happier to have Aircam (Daniel & Patrik) as a partner for this project.
After weeks of planing, developing and improving, we came up with the next evolution of their already very sucessful 'Aircam RAW' system. Changing the entire electricity chain to a new supplier, we're able to achieve unmatched performance!
With new state-of-the-art motors and speed controllers - all manufactured in the USA - we build the most powerful copter in its class!
By increasing the maximum thrust by almost 40% we can easily carry payloads of up to 12kg (camera & gimbal) or fly significantly longer with the payloads that we're dealing with today.
Besides that, the copter is looking beautiful with its aerodynamically-designed and enclosed canopy, which allows us to withstand rough conditions, such as strong wind, rain or snow.

We hope you like our new crew member as much as we do. it will acompany us at the most demanding productions, carrying around our or the brand new , setting new in !

Our latest work for Mercedes-Benz.

Mercedes is not only one of the leading car manufacturers worldwide, the brand is on the pinnacle of what's possible in terms of driving safety and autonomous driving technologies.

The city streets became the artist’s canvas in a work that took on vast proportions. We shot all the aerials for this ad during a cold and rainy night in Frankfurt city. Our drone captured the typography on the intersection from various angles and showed the size and intension behind this installation:

The BAS Plus Brake Assist (integrated in the Distronic Plus Package) can detect dangers coming from the side, whether it's another car, pedestrians or animals crossing.

Streets were blocked off, blowtorches lit the night and cameras were mounted at a height of 148 meters. The city streets became the artist’s canvas in a work…
