The Aviation PhotoCrew excels in high quality products, by using the
very best equipment to achieve their goals. As photoflights are so precious
and demand high durability of both the photographer and it’s equipment,
only the very best cameras and lenses are used, both from Canon and Nikon.
Next to the camera gear, other useful tools are used, like the Gyro Stabilizer
to give extra stability to the cameras. And the era of mirrorless camera’s
has arrived. |
