Custom Camera Models:

We adapt custom camera models and video cameras to our tall tripod systems, providing they are compatible. This provides the opportunity to use an already available camera for the aerial and/or panoramic photo system. The pre-requisite is that the camera features the necessary remote control features, such as a remote release cord.
