Belly Mount

The Belly Mount

The Belly Mount is hard mounted externally beneath the helicopter. It attaches to front skid crossbar and the two cargo tie-down eyelets beneath the feet of the pilot. The system is not vibration isolated, so lens choice is limited to 50mm, or wider, with 35mm format.

The camera operator sits beside the pilot and operates all functions by remote control. Camera run/stop, tilt and aperture are controllable. Tilt range is about 100 degrees and can be pre-adjusted to favor any shooting window.

The Belly Mount is designed to fit only on the Bell 206 A, B or L helicopters (the 206A is not recommended for high altitude work).

Designed for forward looking point of view shots from helicopters, accepts a wide range of film and video tape cameras. Remote video monitoring and taping available for many film cameras
