Primarily used as a camera platform
for the Gyron 935 Plus and HiDef systems, the Cessna
337 Skymaster offers an alternative to airships and
helicopters for sports event coverage. The 337 can
maintain aloft for
an entire event while a helicopter has to land to refuel.
Capable of faster airspeeds the aircraft can reposition
faster than a blimp preventing the possiblility of
missing an important piece of action from a certain
vantage point.
Mount Compatibility
Currently this particular Cessna 337
Skymaster is configured to take the Gyron 935 Plus and
Gyron HiDef systems only. For other camera ship uses
consult the owner of the aircraft, but it is doubtful
that this aircraft can be used other than for the current
video systems.

Specifications
For
general reference only.
The following specifications are
for the Cessna 337.
They do not consider the altered
weight-and-balance characteristics
or resulting restrictions on inflight
performance with installed camera
mounting systems.
The 337 is configured with a movable mount
to allow the Gyron to be retracted for take-offs
and landings. It is important that the operator
remember to lock the system in it's upright
position for airport operations.
Currently the cabin can accommodate only
the camera operator and camera ship pilot
during a mission.
