When Longlining how does the pilot know when the load starts to swing?

If you look out of the windshield and you can see the load - it swings
If you look out of the side window and you can see the load - it swings
If you look down and you can't see the load - it probably swings
If you look through the roof window and you can see the load - don't worry anymore if it swings or not.
Tecpilot:
I know it is an optional kit, but in the AS350 it helps a lot to sit on the left side. I just wonder why nobody is doing it in europe.
Ok, in the B3 the floor window is bigger, but still...
Wasn't there a kit to move the pilots seat more to the right?

Crazy load?
I have a friend who flew logs for a log cabin around. Each about 15 feet long. He flew one after the other with a 206 .... A CESSNA 206. Legal, but it looks weird.
