Simon,

Have you tried contacting Meeker Aviation? (http://www.meekeraviation.com/eurocopter_ec120.htm)

southerncanuck posts here, he is the owner and would most likely be able to help you :ok:

[southerncanuck]

thanks

Southerncanuk's 120 nose mount is the business....truly a lovely piece of engineering. But what on earth do you want to hang an old FLIR on it for when you could have a beautifully stable Cineflex that would complement the mount nicely!

Cheers

And where would one buy such a lovely Cineflex I wonder Jerry ?? :}

Oh wow!......I seem to have a couple in stock. What a bit of luck! Ask and ye shall receive. :ok:

Hi thanks for your responses.
We just bought a pole mount for an AS350 but Meeker do not have FAA validation on their pole mount for an EC120.
The side mount that Meeker makees and is approved doesn't give a good position for filming from.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the info about the Cineflex can you give us a good price I have 200 bucks waiting!

There is not a lot of choice, and few (if any) ideal solutions; especially if you want to do it legally!

Maybe you need to change the type of camera ship!

sirs, working on our stc for the new ec-120 nose mount, patience, we have the mount designed, fitted and ready to go. but as you know, that is only half the job. PM if you want pictures and details
thanks

How about the Unimount (http://www.airalpha.dk/Business-Areas/Maintenance/Unimount-1.aspx) by AirAlpha in Denmark. Different way of solving the problem...
