Skyworks shoots all its aerial video in top-end High Definition. Sony’s HDCAM SR field recorder and the Cineflex aerial camera system provide the ultimate aerial package of stability, portability and picture quality.

High Definition is now being used more and more in the world of television, as the number of broadcasters transmitting it increases. Once seen it is hard to go back to Standard Definition – the difference in quality is dramatic, particularly with aerial images where there is so much detail in each frame. HD resolution is five times better than SD.

In the world of films and commercials, once the preserve of 35mm, High Definition is increasingly being chosen as the shooting medium, since it offers a more practical, flexible and cost effective method of achieving imagery that is comparable in quality to film. Even when a film or commercial is shot on 35mm, it is still better to shoot the aerials on High Definition, due to the exceptional stability, quality and flexibility of the gimbal – the images can later be seamlessly converted to 35mm.
