Aerial Film Australia's SHOTOVER F1 RUSH paired with the Jetshot L39 ALBATROSS CAMERA JET delivers unparalleled performance. Welcome to the cutting edge of high-speed aerial cinematography and high-resolution stills photography!

Able to reach speeds up to 350 nautical miles per hour, this specialised jet is engineered to capture dynamic and exhilarating footage with precision and clarity.

creative image capture

The Jetshot L39 Jet is the perfect platform for air-to-air cinema and stills photography, and high-altitude operations. It allows us to film fast-moving subjects with unmatched compositional control and stability. Our team of skilled pilots and cinematographers work together to deliver breathtaking visuals.

Cine Camera Setups

So powerful and flexible is the system we can fit near any type of lens from ultra-wide through to focal lengths up to 1000mm. While the Arri Alexa 35 is a very popular choice for this system, a wide range of digital cinema and broadcast camera models are be supported.

Sony, Arri, Red, Canon, and other more specialised cameras can all be paired with a variety of lenses by makers such as Angenieux, Canon, Fujinon and Panavision.

Stills Camera Setups

Almost any kind of stills camera and lens combination can be fitted. Everything from DSLR cameras from the likes of Nikon and Canon, through to specialised medium and large format rigs. These cameras simply need to support remote control options via USB or ethernet.

TECHNICAL IMAGE CAPTURE

Multi Sensor, high resolution stills, ultra high definition video, super slow motion, thermal: you name a sensor type and, thanks to the ‘open platform’ design of the Shotover F1 Rush, we can engineer a way to make the sensor fit (subject to maximum size and weight limits).

An example of one of the technology packages currently being used in the F1 systems is the HAWK TZ. This multi senor package includes:

Daylight Optical Video – Full 1080p camera with 30x optical and 4x digital zoom

Radiometric thermal IR – 1024x768 pixel sensor with 12mm to 150mm optical zoom lens and -20°C to 1200°C range.

Digital Optical Stills – 45.7 megapixel RAW capable with 70mm to 1120mm zoom options.

Laser geo-targeting range finder – Accurate real time calculation of the image target’s geographical location.

Jet + Helicopter - the Ultimate Solution

Pair the L39 Albatross with a helicopter, and you'll have every aerial filming scenario covered.

The L39 excels in high-speed tracking and high-altitude shots, while helicopters like the Airbus AS350 Squirrel or Bell 206 series are perfect for low level precision manoeuvring.

Whether capturing high-speed aerial sequences or the more intricate lower-altitude shots, we can provide the best pairing of aircraft and air crew that meet the unique demands of any project.
