Aerial Photography

Video, motion picture or still photography—if your job requires an aerial platform, give Valley Helicopter Services a call. Our Schweizer 300C is the photographer’s dream machine—an affordable, reliable, roomy helicopter. Over congested areas or in complicated airspace surrounding major metropolitan areas, helicopters are the only practical aerial platform for low altitude, low airspeed flight.

When configured for photo missions, the 300C’s spacious interior provides ample and comfortable storage for motion picture gear, large format gyro-stabilized cameras and other gear. Typically, doors are removed for photo missions, ensuring remarkable visibility.

The 300C has the range and endurance essential for covering breaking news wherever it happens—our range exceeds 300 miles, and when necessary we can be on station for over 3 hours. On hot days when other light helicopters are unable to maneuver to meet your demands of altitude and airspeed—the 300C’s power and maneuverability will get the job done.

Our pilots have extensive experience supporting photo personnel—professional and amateur alike. We’re familiar with the demands of aerial photography, and will meet your schedule to ensure optimal lighting conditions. We won’t compromise safety, but we’ll put you where you need to be to get the shot.
