An exceptionally rewarding week of intense testing and air to air filming with @teamxbrand , @patriotsjetteam and their unique L39 CINEJET®. The PHX-X ultra-high speed camera system exceeded everyone's expectations improving aircraft performance and allowing DP's to shoot with more speed, G and freedom than ever before. ✈️
MASSIVE thanks to @k2larosa and @rhowlerhowell for supporting us to smash the barriers in ultra-high speed cinematography. The whole @teamxbrand team crushed every aspect of our first test, with more to come! 💪🏻 @michaelfitzmaurice@jaredslater@scherbas@jordanofilms@3deltafox .

IMMORTAL ACTIVE SWAY - Fully active and adjustable to help smooth out bumps and reduce gimbal sway.
Come see the IMMORTAL line up at CINEGEAR LA this June.

IMMORTAL ACTIVE TOWER - Don't let parallax ruin your shot! The active tower directly compensates for vertical camera movement helping to smooth out off-road bumps and gradient changes. It can be set manually, or locked in place - all from inside the vehicle.
Come see the IMMORTAL line up at CINEGEAR LA this June.

Introducing the CineJet MkII from XBRAND.
The world’s highest-performance and most maneuverable dedicated camera jet platform.
Powered by an upgraded DV2 engine producing nearly 1,200 pounds more thrust than a standard L-39C, the CineJet MkII is capable of more than 400 knots in straight and level flight with a fully stabilized cinema system attached, while reaching speeds approaching 500 knots in a dive.
Engineered to sustain maneuvering loads up to 5 Gs with the camera system installed, this is an aerial cinema platform built to operate at the absolute edge of the envelope.
But raw performance is only half the equation.
For the first time, a specialized cinema gimbal system now exists that can fully operate in that environment: the Phoenix Immortal.
Engineered specifically for extreme speed, high aerodynamic loads, and aggressive maneuvering flight, the Phoenix Immortal unlocks an entirely new category of aerial cinematography.
The CineJet MkII also features a fully integrated real-time RF broadcast system developed in partnership with RF Film, allowing live cinematic monitoring directly from the ground during high-performance aerial operations.
Powered by our partners at the Patriots Jet Team, one of the world’s most experienced L-39 operators, the CineJet MkII is flown by world-renowned Aerial Coordinator and Stunt Pilots Kevin LaRosa and Randy Howell.
This is not a slightly modified L-39 camera jet.
This is a purpose-built cinematic weapon system operated by the team who brought your the aerials on “Top Gun: Maverick”
The next generation of aerial cinematography has arrived.

This project required multiple lenses and cameras to achieve a wide range of focal lengths (35mm to 1500mm) at full daylight and moonlight.
Under full moonlight the clouds rolled in and we swapped to faster lenses, in the field, within minutes.
