So yes, I believe the "system" to be the actual harness and the attachment to the aircraft. Priority 1 does have an STC on a harness, but their attachment is NOT FAA approved. Therefore, you can still do photo shoots but will have to remain strapped into the aircraft standard seat belt if you want to operate doors off or open.

Quick release attachment not approved
