Aerial Photography Tips for Bali Helicopter Tours
Capture Bali from above like a pro. Our photography guide covers everything from camera settings to the best side of the helicopter to sit on.
Camera Settings: Use shutter priority mode with a minimum shutter speed of 1/1000s to freeze motion. The helicopter vibration and movement require fast shutter speeds. Set your ISO to auto with a maximum of 1600. Shoot in RAW format for maximum editing flexibility.
Best Seats: In most helicopters, the front left seat offers the widest field of view. However, ask your pilot which side will face the main landmarks on your specific route. For our Photography Tour, the pilot will position the helicopter for optimal angles.
Equipment: A wide-angle lens (16-35mm) is essential for capturing sweeping landscapes. A zoom lens (70-200mm) is useful for isolating specific landmarks. Use a circular polarizer to cut glare from water and enhance sky contrast. Avoid bringing a tripod -- there is no room and the vibration makes it useless.
