The Aerial Video and Photo Team

All the hi-end equipment and expertise would be useless without an effective and personable team who stand behind their work. Below are a few of our key team members who make the aerial magic happen. Each and every person on our crew has a film and/or broadcast background and that’s what sets us apart from the hobbyists. Confident and experienced; see why we’re the most sought after Las Vegas based drone crew.

BEN ELLINGSON
BEN ELLINGSONPilot & Gimbal Op
“I’m passionate about creating fluid, moving shots that will impress. Beginning with a steadicam system over 15 years ago and transitioning to jib about 10 years ago I have taken my expertise with camera movement to new heights. I’ve been flying multi-rotor craft since 1999, I love what I do and it shows in my work…”
