Intuitive Aerial will introduce the Aerigon Mk II at International Drone Expo (IDE) 2015, running from 11 to 12 December at the L.A. Convention Centre. Updates to the heavy-lifting pro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) include the launch of Intuitive Aerial s 2.0 image stabilisation technology for full size pro cinema cameras with industry standard lightweight zoom lenses such as the Angenieux Optimo 15-40 and Canon 15.5-47 with complete FIZ (focus, iris, zoom) support with the Intuitive Aerial Dominion controller. Aerigon Mk II has future support for dual and redundant flight controllers, the ability to switch between 2.4 Ghz and licensed band wireless transmission, and enhanced features such as ground power and industrial grade battery connectors. Aerigon Mk II empowers filmmakers to take advantage of the creativity of aerial cinematography without sacrificing image quality.

Aerigon has been used on feature films, including Spectre and Avengers: Age of Ultron, documentary films such as We Are Blood, and shows for BBC Natural World and National Geographic Wild.

Improved Flight Control and Camera Operation

Intuitive Aerial s Dominion controller communicates with the Aerigon Mk II gimbal and camera system from as far away as 3000 feet. Dominion can switch between a 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum signal or a licensed band. Full control of camera and lens, including focus, iris, and zoom (FIZ), is via the five-inch high- resolution and sunlight-readable display. Dominion also provides enhanced gimbal telemetry for monitoring performance and image stability.

Intuitive Aerial redesigned the cranium of the helicopter to support dual flight controllers. As well, Aerigon Mk II has support for switchable 2.4 Ghz and licensed band operation.

Aerigon Mk II is able to maintain rock steady images with today s most popular cinema lightweight zooms with pro cinema camera packages using Intuitive Aerial s new gimbal control algorithms and high performance sensor technology. Given its camera/lens payload capacity of 20 lbs., this pro UAV has safely flown heavier production cameras, such as RED Dragon, Alexa Mini, Sony F55, Canon C300 MKII, and even the Phantom Flex4K, with heavier lenses, such as the Angenieux Optimo 15-40 mm zoom, Canon CN-E15.5-47 mm, Fujinon Alura 15.5-45 mm, and Zeiss Master Anamorphic Primes.

Hardware upgrades include the switch to side-mounted flight batteries, the addition of industrial grade battery connectors with support for battery identification, enhanced motor mounts, industrial grade arm connectors, and proprietary anti- spark technology.

Full technical specs for Aerigon Mk II and Dominion can be viewed on the Intuitive Aerial website.
