    Overview

    A Stable Camera Platform Over Texas

    Helicopter Experts has been flying photographers and film crews over San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country, and the Gulf Coast for over 30 years. Our Robinson R44s are configured for door-off shooting, with pilot intercom and the maneuverability to hold an orbit, run a tracking shot, or sit still for a long-lens vertical.

    We've flown for commercial productions, broadcast news, real-estate developers, surveyors, and magazine editorials. Tell us your shot list and we'll plan a flight that gets it.
