- Active 4-axis stabilisation (vertical Z axis) eliminates footstep jolts during walking or running long takes.
- Integrated LiDAR rangefinder: a 3D depth map projecting 43 200 points for automated manual focusing without latency.
- Safe indoor and outdoor FPV drones: continuous cinematic paths through buildings, reception halls and Alpine landscapes.
- Swiss regulatory framework (OFAC / Open Category): legal compliance and flight certifications required for professional services.
The rise of all-in-one 4-axis cameras and LiDAR rangefinding
Corporate and event video production long required large crews comprising a camera operator, a focus puller and a Steadicam-type stabiliser operator. The arrival and maturity of systems such as the DJI Ronin 4D have completely redefined the cost-effectiveness and agility of professional shoots.
By incorporating a 4th active stabilisation axis (the vertical Z axis), the system compensates for the natural oscillating movements of walking. Operators can run, climb steps or move over uneven ground while achieving smoothness worthy of a cinematic dolly shot on rails.
LiDAR focusing: No more focus errors in the dark
The other major innovation is the LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) rangefinder. Unlike traditional autofocus systems that rely on the sensor's phase contrast, LiDAR projects tens of thousands of invisible infrared points to map the exact distance of subjects in space in real time.
“In a dark wine cellar, a concert hall or a dimly lit corporate event, LiDAR never hunts. It knows exactly how many centimetres away the subject is, guaranteeing instantaneous, surgical sharpness.”
The cinematic FPV drone: Total immersion for Swiss businesses
Meanwhile, FPV (First Person View) drones have taken the world of corporate communications by storm in French-speaking Switzerland (Neuchâtel, Lausanne, Genève, Fribourg, Valais). While a traditional drone captures static or slow wide shots from the sky, an FPV drone offers a truly dynamic continuous take:
- Flying over outdoor landscapes or vineyards along the lake of Neuchâtel.
- Diving towards the company building and passing smoothly through the entrance doors.
- Continuous navigation through production workshops, precision watchmaking laboratories and offices.
- Exiting through a glass roof to finish with a majestic panoramic shot.
Conclusion: Why Swiss businesses favour this format
In the age of LinkedIn, Instagram and trade fairs, capturing the attention of a decision-maker or potential client comes down to the first 3 seconds. Combining a 4-axis stabilised camera with immersive aerial FPV footage immediately gives a company an image of excellence, modernity and technical rigour.
