Aerial MOB, Panavision Announce Teaming Arrangement
Aerial MOB, one of the first companies to get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly drones for film production in the United States, has announced an exclusive agreement with Panavision, which supplies cinema lenses and camera systems.
Panavision will recommend Aerial MOB as its preferred unmanned aircraft systems company in the United States.
“Aerial MOB is very excited and honored to be forming this alliance with Panavision,” says Tony Carmean, the company’s chief marketing officer and cofounder. “We will now be able to utilize the most innovative lens and camera systems with our ultra-high-tech drone platforms, offering filmmakers a combined aerospace technology package unmatched in the motion picture industry.”
Aerial MOB worked with the Motion Picture Association of America to get its Section 333 exemption allowing it to fly UAS for commercial use. That exemption was granted in September 2014.
“We consistently strive to support our customers with the latest creative tools and services, and aligning with Aerial MOB meets that objective,” says Panavision’s Bob Harvey, executive vice president of global sales and marketing. “Their focus on providing advanced aerial technology, with an emphasis on safety and performance, forms a natural alliance of our two companies by providing our clients with the best filmmaking experience.”
