Introducing the CineJet MkII from XBRAND.

The world’s highest-performance and most maneuverable dedicated camera jet platform.

Powered by an upgraded DV2 engine producing nearly 1,200 pounds more thrust than a standard L-39C, the CineJet MkII is capable of more than 400 knots in straight and level flight with a fully stabilized cinema system attached, while reaching speeds approaching 500 knots in a dive.

Engineered to sustain maneuvering loads up to 5 Gs with the camera system installed, this is an aerial cinema platform built to operate at the absolute edge of the envelope.

But raw performance is only half the equation.

For the first time, a specialized cinema gimbal system now exists that can fully operate in that environment: the Phoenix Immortal.

Engineered specifically for extreme speed, high aerodynamic loads, and aggressive maneuvering flight, the Phoenix Immortal unlocks an entirely new category of aerial cinematography.

The CineJet MkII also features a fully integrated real-time RF broadcast system developed in partnership with RF Film, allowing live cinematic monitoring directly from the ground during high-performance aerial operations.

Powered by our partners at the Patriots Jet Team, one of the world’s most experienced L-39 operators, the CineJet MkII is flown by world-renowned Aerial Coordinator and Stunt Pilots Kevin LaRosa and Randy Howell.

This is not a slightly modified L-39 camera jet.

This is a purpose-built cinematic weapon system operated by the team who brought your the aerials on “Top Gun: Maverick”

The next generation of aerial cinematography has arrived.

Built for Action. 🎬 Now capable of carrying the Sony VENICE Extension System Mini.

Integrating the new “Rialto Mini” into the CineJet platform is a total game-changer. By stripping away 70% of the sensor’s bulk while maintaining full 8.6K resolution, @immortalcamera has unlocked new lens combinations never possible before.

No compromise. Just pure, cinematic performance.

The Future of Flight is 8.6K.

🎥 Behind the Scenes of Top Gun: Maverick 🚀

Here’s a glimpse into how we brought the now-iconic “Darkstar” to life! These clips show the magic behind creating this unforgettable aircraft, starting with a real Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet as our subject. Our incredible VFX team digitally replaced the Super Hornet with the sleek “Darkstar,” ensuring every detail—physics, light, shadows, reflections—felt real, visceral, and true to life.

As the Aerial Coordinator for the film, I selected the L-39 @Cinejet for this sequence, guided by the expertise and input of the legendary Aerial Director of Photography, David Nowell.

A huge shoutout to our “Picture Ship” pilot, TAMBO, for flawlessly flying the Darkstar and helping us deliver the cinematic adventure that director Joseph Kosinski envisioned.

Massive respect to Tom Cruise and Jerry Bruckheimer, whose dedication to practical effects ensured Top Gun: Maverick was grounded in reality with minimal CGI. Their commitment to authenticity made this movie the thrilling experience it is today!

Behind the scenes shot from @topgunmovie of me chasing an F-18 with the L-39 @cinejet for a sequence. If you look closely you can see this is one of the famous “Mav Jets” painted specifically for Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell. I flew the L-39 extensively throughout the movie and it was just as fun filming Top Gun Maverick as it was watching it on the big screen. by @cinejet
