MegaMount

The MegaMount, although limited to the JetRanger and LongRanger platforms, provides an unusual twist to a typical nose mount. In addition to tilt, this system allows the camera to roll 360° at will, which is good for manually countering the helicopter bank or inducing roll for dutch angles or special effects. Pan is locked off. The Mega Mount is operated gearhead style via wheels. This is a bit cumbersome for aerial applications, but has been done successfully. The operator is limited to operating from the rear seat of the helicopter and so much additional equipment and counterweight is required that only the operator will fit. There is room for a third passenger to fly in the front left seat, but this is solely the call of the pilot.
