• Many of the films and series I’ve made have involved filming ambitious and complex aerial sequences. I’ve been lucky enough to work with the best aerial cinematographers and pilots worldwide and I rank David Adamson as one of the very best pilots I have ever worked with.
  • Hovering the helicopter right over the water as the guys jumped onto land in a narrow canyon, I have to add my praise.  We so appreciate the hard work you did. This PNG Kayaking story was NO easy job. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're on the top of the pilots list at Red Bull Media House!

  • A tricky event to cover, Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton is a 25 km kiteboard race over open ocean. Factor in kites flying everywhere, high winds and passing ocean tankers it is tough to film but David got in there and got us some amazing shots while still keeping us and the competitors very safe.

  • Thanks to David’s huge technical skill and intuitive understanding of camera, we were able to capture great looking and unique material in a couple of hours, more than I have been able to do in days with other aerial crews.
  • We have flown with some of the best, but David's skills flying cameras and crews in remote locations were simply the best we have ever experienced. He made the PNG project happen when most pilots would not have bothered with difficult logistics. Up there with Fred North and a pleasure to work with, he gave us 150% in PNG and many of the shots and locations he dropped us would have simply not happened with any other pilot.

  • David is one the best film pilots in the business. We first worked together on WRC Australia, Perth, WA in 2005. Our most recent adventure was Rally Australia in Coffs Harbour. When chasing world rally cars, at (very) low level, at ridiculous speeds, on a terrain filled with tall gumtrees, you need a pilot who knows the game and only needs half a word to understand what a Cineflex operator wants as a shot.

  • We’ve worked with many pilots around the world over many years and David Adamson has to rank as one of the very best. Not only is he a fantastic pilot he’s always ready to offer advice and solutions to the problems that inevitably occur on any shoot.
  • Wow! We were all blown away watching David manoeuvre his helicopter on our recent shoot. Myself and many others on set have never seen anything like it. What a pro stunt pilot. He flew the craft with incredible precision, skill and sheer expertise, giving more to our film than I thought possible. It really was phenomenal to be a part of and I would use him again in a heart beat.
  • David is the ONLY pilot I have flown with of who orientates his helicopter like a camera, his innate knowledge of light, angles, timing and the ability to “tell the story” through the lens of a camera is something unique.
  • The Swiss production team had never seen a helicopter Pilot like David, he is by far one of the world’s best! If you are looking for a helicopter Pilot, David would be my first choice.
