The Heron has a hydraulically actuated head that moves up and down slowly, mimicking the motion of a heron bird.
The Heron can provide aerial rigging for a variety of dance disciplines, and it’s white truss like body works well for projection mapping. Performances using the Heron include aerial dance and theater, circus, music and fire performance.
It has detachable fire wings that can add substantial propane flame effects.
