CAPABILITIES
From above and below we get the shots.
We use the latest in high end video and photographic equipment above and below the surface to ensure every shot is a keeper. Terra Australis specialise in the use of surface and underwater cameras, drones, Helicopters, thruster powered shark cages (hand built by us!), custom camera stations, and lots of ingenuity and hard work to get the shots we are known for.
With our Robinson 44 helicopter on standby we can be in the air and filming at short notice. Utilising the versatility of the chopper for an aerial perspective on shoot or simply for location scouting this addition to our arsenal pushes our ability to capture stunning and unique imagery. Options are available for the addition of a cineflex cameras system.
