QUICK SkyShot Helikite inflates with helium in a minute, and then flies itself up to 1000 feet altitude, with or without wind. It can automatically take 700 x 10 mega-pixel pictures in under 6 minutes, with up to 3x magnification. Then you just reel in and go!

CONVENIENT
SkyShot can be used almost anywhere and can be carried fully inflated in an estate car or van. The 1 cubic metre SkyShot Helikite is only 3ft 3in x 4ft 4in x 5ft 5in when fully inflated. Only uses one cubic metre (35cu ft) of safe, inert helium gas.

HIGH QUALITY
The unique patented SkyShot Helikite is a superbly stable aerial platform giving sharp photos even on windy days. Takes superb high or low altitude shots.

PAN & TILT VIDEO SYSTEM

A Radio-Controlled Pan and Tilt Video System to fit on the tiny SkyShot Helikite.
Aerial Video image transmitted to a hand held viewing screen, you control and view the camera from the ground! Possibly the smallest video surveilance system in the world. Superb for instant long-term security and surveillance.

The SkyShot Helikite seems very simple, but we believe that this unique combination of speed, safety, high altitude, reliabilty, ease-of-use,  picture quality, and silence makes it the finest aerial photography system available - at any cost.
