Helimedia

The Helimedia team is a group of professionals from the fields of film and commercial production, eventing filming, live TV production and helicopter aviation.

Helimedia came to life in 2007, when we acquired two Cineflex HD Camera Systems. Both systems are owned and operated by Helimedia, and are resident in South Africa. The result is a substantial saving in costs, when our clients wants to shoot in Africa.

We are not only one of the top film production companies in South Africa, we are also the leading aerial film company in the whole of Africa. We are the one stop solution for any and all of your event filming and live aerial filming needs.

We also offer aerial filming and ground tracking options for both commercial and feature films.

Helimedia is also the only licensed agent for the sales of Cineflex Camera Systems in Africa.

Helimedia recently acquired the new GYRON STAB-C COMPACT Gyro Stabilized head. Please have a look at the spec sheet on our services page for more details on this amazing new system.

Testimonials

"In the times we live in it is pretty tough to stop the clock for a moment and look back and reflect on what we have done and whether we actually did it well or not! So before my train picks up speed again (tomorrow morning) I would like you to pass on my thanks and appreciation to everyone involved with the helicopter 'shoots' including Tony Lombard and his crew over the last two weekends on the semi final and final of the Vodacom Super 14 and the World Superbike Series at Kyalami. I can't honestly think that I have ever seen better pictures from a helicopter camera in terms of quality and content than these three productions that I had the privilege to work on. It made me feel very proud to think that we delivered a service to our viewers that was exceptional in every way possible in terms of chopper 'shots'. I'm sure Sean, Richard and Abel will agree with me. I cannot think that we can get any better....or can we!! All the very best for 2010 FIFA World Cup the soccer producers are going to be knocked out with the pictures that you are going to provide to the world...no pressure!"
Scott Seward - Supersport

"I was the one who said that in the daily MRL Briefing yesterday - and it's true ... best aerial coverage I've ever seen - any event. Well done!!"
Geoffrey Mason - Head of Production Planning at ESPN 2010 FIFA World Cup

Vodacom were delighted, production company were delighted, footage was exceptional and pilot and machines were perfect.
