The campilots work as a team consisting of a cam-pilot and a cam-operator.

The cam-pilot keeps the multicopter within visual range with a remote control. In case of long distance flights (e.g. car-chase shots) both the cam-pilot and the cam-operator follow the multicopter in a pickup-truck. When shooting above water, the campilots team follows the multicopter on a speed boat.

The camera itself is operated via HF-transmitter. For monitoring purposes an HF-signal is sent back from the camera to the camera-operator.

The remotehead can be panned 360 degrees and tilt 180 degrees.

The multicopter uses a lithium-ion polymer battery. Its rotors are very silent and the engines are emission-free. With this non-polluting drive we were already able to realize shots in highly sensitive indoor sets such as the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, Rome.

Restrictions occur in strong winds, rain and snowfall.
