VECTORVISION VS ASTROVISION

Both of these aerial camera systems were designed and built by the same genius, Academy Award winning, remote system designer / engineer Bob Nettmann. Over thirty years ago Bob conceived and built Astrovision as a means of making air to air photography safer after losing a friend in an aerial filming accident. He entered his Astrovision system into an exclusive operational agreement with Clay Lacy Aviation.

Fifteen years, and literally hundreds of air to air shoots later, Bob continued to scrutinize the shortcomings and creative latitude restrictions. Considering the extensive modifications necessary to improve Astrovision, Bob decided to completely scrap his original design and started over from ground zero. The result was the birth of Vectorvision.

FASTER OPTICS to permit consistent high quality results in "magic light" conditions. INCREASED LOOK UP capability added to the optical relay. ZOOM CAPABILITY to allow the cameraman to safely combine pilot maneuvers with framing. These improvements alone were incredible but the most significant upgrade was the addition of steerable HORIZON ROLL CONTROL within the optics. Now with this added CREATIVE LATITUDE provided by the new Vectorvision System the director / cameraman and pilot are able to choreograph any imaginable aerial sequence in all lighting conditions. The differences are stunning.

To add another layer of quality to the mix Bob formed a new exclusive alliance with premier aerial services provider, Dan Wolfe at Wolfe Air Aviation. Wolfe Air meticulously integrated the Vectorvision Systems into their pristinely maintained, Stage III hush equipped, Lear 25B. The 25's dash six "raw jet" engines deliver the instant agility and maneuverability necessary to provide those perfectly smooth, high performance, "aerial dolly moves." Clients that choose Vectorvision are now unrestricted because the director, cameraman and pilot are unrestricted. The TEAM is free to create. By combining the optimum jet platform with Bob's incredible new technology, along with the finest pilots, cameramen and technical support personnel, Wolfe Air has indeed assembled the ultimate aerial solution.
Virtually all quality oriented users agree.
