Skydiving Equipment
We have skydiving equipment of nearly every style, size, and
color. Many of our parachutes have been designed and created
for film projects requiring special colors or functions. Military,
red, white and blue, all white, and brightly colored chutes that
read well on camera are part of our collection. All are ready
for action, props, stage and process photography.
Because there are many styles and sizes
of parachutes, it is important to identify the type of skydiving
equipment the script or storyboard calls for before choosing.

equipment.

Skydiving Towing Systems
Get that parachute landing shot without the expense of renting
a plane? Our portable towing systems allow skydiving parachutes
to fly and land where it would otherwise be costly or impossible;
away from airports, or where access is limited. By towing parachutes
up to altitude and releasing them, we can make as many as 10
filmed landing shots each hour. There is no need to repack parachutes
and transport skydivers back up for other jumps.
Rigging Equipment Click here.
Rigging parachutes for close ups and precision control sequences
is one of our most called-upon specialities. On stage or on location,
our rigging equipment and experience lets you capture parachute
action with precise and/or mechanical control. For blue or green
screen, and process photography, we'll help you put the principle
actors safely in the shots.
Skydiving
Accessories and Apparel
When dressing one skydiver or an
entire group, the right accessories can really make the scene
work. Our rental department offers all styles of skydiving harnesses
and jump gear including goggles, altimeters and helmets.
Skydiving Cinematography Click here.
Extreme sports
cinematography requires special equipment as well as knowledge
and experience to match. Available are light weight 16mm, 35mm,
digital video. With our special camera helmets, exciting angles
and fabulous shots become available.
On a daily basis, you'll find our guys
hanging out the door of a Jet Ranger, mounting a 35mm Arri to
an ultralight aircraft or landsailer, or hurtling themselves
out the door of an airplane with a helmet camera.

We designed and built two "flying
tent" parachutes flown in the Disney movie MEET THE DEETLES.
Other projects have included custom built parachutes for a United
Artist movie TANK GIRL and two colorful parachutes for a Miller
Beer commercial.
