Introduction - Second generation of Aerial Photo Systems
Aerial Photography Systems from Aero Drum ltd are a result of 5 years of making & testing. From choosing the right materials to a complete product everything went trough a real life test. Personally with our Aerial Photo Systems we have made more than 20.000 Aerial Photos in all weather conditions. From -10 to +50 Celsius. In moderate and higher wind conditions.
With the first generation and classical zeppelin shape we have started
to collect necessary data to make better systems. Aldo we have worked more than
2 years with such systems several problems where detected:
1. Wind resistance up to 5-6 miles/h when one directional winds
2. Electrostatic charge of the envelope affected electronic equipment
3. After certain wind velocity “falling bomb” effect was detected
4. Huge helium consumption
5. Storage problem
So in January 2007 we have tested a new Aerial Photo System type (second
generation). All the above problems where dramatically reduced or completely
disappeared. Based on those experiences now we are making three system types:

Advantages of Balloon Aerial Photography Systems compared to other Aerial Photo Systems
1. Vibration free 2. Extremely low cost in exploitation 3. Easy to handle and work with 4. Low cost in maintenance 5. No special permits needed 6. No danger for you and others 7. Can be lifted in heavy populated areas with no risk 8. Low helium loss 9. Easy to move from one angle to another 10. Ready for work in 15 minutes. Let us know when you identify other advantages.....
