We use automation to achieve what we call 4D flying. And the automation we use to achieve that just so happens to be the most trusted (3D performer flying since 1999), highest quality (ISO9001:2008), with the highest practical safety (SIL:3) out there.

4-D Flying

We utilize the latest and most advanced version of the powerful control system that flies the aerialists and controls the machinery for Ka, LOVE, and Viva Elvis. That flew Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins on the West End. That was used to do some spectacular moves on the Harry Potter films and Mission Impossible 3.

We have taken that 3D technology, added our DECONVENTIONAL™ creative process, and applied it to the full-service flying effects we provide. We like to call our method 4D Flying. Yes, that’s 33% more “D” than the other leading brand.

We proudly use Stage Technologies since they are as zealous about automation as we are about performer flying.

eZ-Hoist

Let’s face it though, sometimes that level of automation is overkill, or at least over-budget on a production with a few simple flights. The same control system used to run those Vegas Cirque shows is probably not the most cost effective solution for say a simple ascension. That is why we designed the eZ-Hoist™, our line of affordable yet still advanced single-axis hoist and controls. From simple to complex, ZFX has the automation spectrum covered. As always our infectious enthusiasm comes with all our flying packages.

Because we design and fabricate, work equally with the artistic and technical aspects, we are naturally adept at custom turnkey automation projects. From small to large, Shanghai to Vegas, controls to mechanics our DECONVENTIONAL™ method applies and can help your project stay within budget, PAINLESSLY!
