Specialised Operations
Motion Picture Filming
From Pirates of the Caribbean to Aquaman — camera-ship platforms and pilots trusted by the world's biggest productions.
The majority of aerial footage in cinema and television is filmed from helicopters. Gold Coast Helitours combines aerial film photography with a complete understanding of the needs of the camera operator and director alike.
We operate state-of-the-art camera systems mounted outside the helicopter — Cineflex, Shotover (K1 and F1) and GSS gimbal platforms, the mainstays of the movie world. Couple this with the flexibility and agility of our helicopters and we deliver an aerial perspective like no other aircraft can.
