    • Superior Stabilization: 3-axis nodal stabilization for consistently stable footage.

    • Optimized for Diverse Workflows: VFX live-action environments, post pan-and-tilt control, virtual production/volume studios.

    • Operational Parameters: 5ft to 400ft altitude, maximum speed of 55mph.

    • Extended Flight Duration: 8-10 minutes.

    • Dedicated Local 600 Crew: Pilot, Camera Operator, 1st AC, and Head Technician provided.

  • At Spheris Array Systems, we prioritize uncompromising post-stitch quality. Our development philosophy is rooted in rigorous testing and meticulous design, resulting in unparalleled 360° x 140° immersive imagery. We leverage the RED Komodo's global shutter sensor to eliminate rolling shutter artifacts, combined with 75% rectilinear lenses for distortion-free visuals. Our innovations include:

    • Patent-Pending Pinwheel Layout: This unique camera arrangement significantly reduces parallax error, surpassing the limitations of conventional array designs.

    • Patent-Pending Nodal Stabilization: Our custom-engineered, 3-axis stabilization system precisely positions the pitch and roll axes at the sensor's nodal point, ensuring arc-free motion and exceptionally smooth driving and aerial footage. This lightweight yet powerful system delivers professional-grade stability.

    • TC / GEN / SYNC / RS & MUX - The Spheris Air incorporates an integrated Timecode, Genlock, Synchronization, and Video Multiplexing system. This refined architecture provides robust and reliable synchronization across multi-camera arrays, ensuring seamless operational workflows.

  • The Spheris AIR stands as the industry's only 360° drone array system capable of delivering feature film quality aerial capture, revolutionizing the creation of dynamic flying plates for feature films, television, and commercials. Its unparalleled maneuverability and ability to access previously inaccessible locations make it perfect for capturing super hero flight sequences, spacecraft or aircraft plates, and any scenario requiring low-altitude, dynamic aerial footage. Unlike traditional array systems, the Spheris AIR's compact and agile design allows for complex flight paths and perspectives, providing filmmakers with unprecedented creative control and eliminating the limitations of conventional aerial capture methods, ultimately enhancing the realism and visual impact of virtual production and VFX workflows.
