We have our own gyro stabilised HD aerial rigs and various other bits of specialist filming kit available for hire.

Based in Cape Town, South Africa.

Mike Linley has been producing and filming factual wildlife documentaries for over 30 years. Showing TV audiences all over the planet the wonders of the natural world has given him an immense amount of pleasure.

However, one thing that’s always concerned him is that the programmes he's made have only been viewable at home, on the TV, removed from the wild spaces of Britain.

But now new technology is changing this. Over the past year he has been working with interpretation specialists Ugly Studios to develop interactive touchscreen displays.

These screens enable his vast catalogue of digital video footage, photographs and wildlife facts to be viewed in situ, on a reserve, right there, where the wildlife can be seen. Not only is this fascinating for visitors, it is a useful tool for visitor centre staff to use; helping visitors identify the wild species they have seen and so learn more about them.
