Axsys Technologies Selects Aerial Filmworks as Exclusive Reseller for Canada

In a strategic move to strengthen the presence of Axsys Technologies IR Systems, Aerial Filmworks has been selected as the exclusive reseller for the Cineflex V14 HD, Axsys Technologies V14 MSII and related products in Canada. The Cineflex system, used for the filming of the BBC’s Planet Earth series, is the preferred high-definition aerial video system. In addition, Aerial Filmworks will also become an authorized USA reseller.

“Canada has already been an excellent market for our Cineflex leasing program,” states Ron Chapple, President of Aerial Filmworks LLC, “we look forward to providing direct access to the camera systems along with value-added training and installation.” The Cineflex V14 HD is widely recognized as the world’s finest gyro-stabilized camera system. Used primarily on helicopters, the system can also be mounted on fixed wing airplanes, cars, trucks and boats.

The Cineflex V14 is the preferred system for film and TV production, while the Axsys Technologies V14 MSII is the ultimate tool for law enforcement agencies and utility companies. The MSII offers full-resolution HD along with thermal imaging, GPS data overlays, auto-tracking and a laser rangefinder.

Award-winning productions around the world creates high demand for the Cineflex system. With a fully digital interface, the perfectly balanced 5 axis gyro-stabilization technology removes even the slightest vibration. While aerial directors appreciate the range of camera motion and lens selection, pilots are equally pleased with the lightweight system. “Our pilots love flying the Cineflex system,” states Peter Murray of Talon Helicopters, Ltd. in Vancouver, “and our engineers appreciate the easy installation of the helicopter mount. We can have a system rigged and ready to fly within an hour.”

Aerial Filmworks will have a display at the Helicopter Association of Canada trade show in Vancouver, British Columbia on March 29-31, 2009. All interested law enforcement agencies, broadcast engineers, film directors and utility companies are invited to learn more about the advanced technological capabilities of the Cineflex V14 and Axsys Technologies V14 MSII systems.
