Tyler Middle Mount

The Tyler Middle Mount is a smaller, lighter weight door mount offering over 100 degree pan/tilt/roll range. Although certain 35mm packages can be used, the mount is generally better suited to the smaller 16mm and Betacam systems. Very quick to set up, balance and install by one person. The Eurocopter AStar/TwinStar base, shown here, is constructed for left or right mounting configurations. Left side with the JetRanger base can be accomplished with minimal reworking of the arm and operator's safety belt. Gyro assist available for improved stability when appropriate.
