perfect helicopter aerials
ZatzWorks creates beautiful helicopter aerials of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Using our helicopter, we’ve flown more than 5000 filming hours in Alaska— capturing images with our GSS and Cineflex– both fitted with Red Raptor and 50-1000 lenses. We know Alaska. We are super-economical, extremely flexible, and always friendly! Check out the quality of our demos, and if you like what’s there, let us help with your next production— the images will be great.
We rent gss and Cineflex upgraded systems
We have multiple gimbals with Red Heliums and CN20 lens. Our systems are ready for aerial, boat or land operation. Need a portable jib? No problem, we design and build helicopter mounts, jibs, vibration isolators and remote power supplies for most remote applications. Let us know how we can help support your production.
Guaranteed Images for Every Project
ZatzWorks gives our clients access to our enormous HD to 8K library of Alaska scenic and wildlife footage. Use ZatzWorks for your aerials and then add our stock shots at no cost to make your program look like a million bucks.

With roots in the Southern California television market, we know the production world, and after twenty seven Alaska seasons, we also know the Alaska environment– including weather, wildlife, people, and politics for getting things done in Alaska.

Sleepy Corner of Alaska, but a Center of Innovation
For thirty years we lived at the end of the road because we love Alaska, but our team is world-class in stabilized camera innovation. ZatzWorks developed the first upgrades to the Cineflex V14 and Elite to allow for swappable cameras, horizon fix, and a host of mechanical and electronic upgrades used throughout the World (see AgileCine.com). We also developed and manufactured the world's first FAA and EASA approved nose mounts for the R44 and R66 helicopters (now owned by GSS).
We COMPLETELY understand the equipment we are using on remote aerial shoots. With ZatzWorks, your camera operator is also a Cineflex and GSS parts designer, a repair technician, and even a helicopter pilot. We are truly prepared to work and complete your project– creatively, beautifully, on time and on-budget.
