Cameron Balloons US
Cameron is the largest selling brand of hot air balloon in the world. A ÒballoonistÕs balloonÓ, Cameron is designed by skilled engineers who are equally accomplished pilots. CameronÕs industry status has been hard-earned by stressing uncompromising engineering and production techniques, complemented by unsurpassed customer service and value.

Quality of Reputation Cameron is the inventor and master of intricate special shape hot air balloons, like the Forbes Collection. The engineering excellence prerequisite to building such challenging aircraft permeates every Cameron, evidenced by the fact that both World Records for flight duration and distance are held by pilots flying Camerons. Consistent with engineering excellence, Cameron products are subjected to rigorous pre-release testing, supported by the fact that Cameron has never had an FAA-imposed airworthiness directive (product recall).

The Economics of Balloon Ownership Cameron balloons enjoy among the highest resale values on the market thanks to our fully transferable warranty, high quality materials such as field-proven Cameron HyperlastTM fabric warranted for 500 hours of long life, and unparalleled customer service that doesnÕt keep you waiting for parts. Also, we donÕt experiment at your expense with radical fabric changes Ñ our durable fabric is characterized by a continual evolutionary improvement process, rather than a revolutionary Òscrap and start anewÓ philosophy that can cost you.

Diversity of Choice Cameron offers more certified envelope options than any other manufacturer, ensuring you that we have a balloon size and style to suit your particular need. From the eight-gore ÒVÓ series to the smooth ÒNÓ, Cameron offers you the ultimate in high-performance envelopes. More envelope styles result in a wider choice of color patterns to personalize your balloon. Other choices abound Ñ for example, aluminum versus stainless steel tanks, KevlarTM versus stainless steel suspension cables, and liquid versus vapor burner pilot lights. At Cameron, the choice is always yours.
