XM2 WHEELS

XM2 Aerial utilizes a range of camera control systems including wheels, joysticks or a traditional remote-control transmitter. Wheels remain the industry standard in camera control systems and XM2 have developed the mechanisms to bring this technology into the 21st century.

The key point of di�erence is the integration and customization achievable with these systems, providing camera operators with familiarity and comfort, regardless of the shooting environment. XM2 Aerial engineers and technicians are able to tailor the physical and functional characteristics of each set up to suit the user and shot.

One key advancement is the ability to integrate control systems that were previously not possible. Remote heads that traditionally used joystick control can now be controlled via wheels. When combined with long range systems, like XM2 Lima, they create a completely seamless camera control ecosystem that is equally applicable to drones and helicopters.

Visual Effects VFXLIDAR, Photogrammetry and VR

XM2 Aerial has played an integral role as part of VFX units for a number of feature �lms and have developed new systems and equip-ment to capture what was previously impossible. The visions of Direc-tors, DOPs and VFX Supervisors are unique and XM2 Aerial gives them more options to capture the data that they need. A full understanding of VFX Department requirements allows the execution of plate tiles, 180 and 360 bubbles, LIDAR scans and photogrammetry modelling, on-set or on location, as part of production or as an independent unit with aerial and ground based solutions.

LIDAR data capture is able to produce 3D representations of a given target using a pulsed laser to measure distance. With the increase of VFX budgets and the growth of VFX departments, XM2 Aerial have developed systems that speed up the capture of useable data. By developing aerial LIDAR solutions, any location or �lm set can be quickly turned into a 3D model. XM2 Aerial’s LIDAR system can allow large areas with varying heights to be scanned faster than traditional terrestrial methods of LIDAR capture while maintaining survey grade accuracy.
