We're filming wildlife for a nature documentary.
If you have a look at the link to the UK unit I've supplied, you'll get a good idea of what we're trying to do. BTW, guppy, do you know of a US supplier with something similar?
This unit however, only tilts, it does not pan. Camera control is through a laptop in the cockpit via LANC. We haven't considered gear mounted units for the 182, the main problem there would be prop arc impinging field of view, oil spray from the exhaust, as well as debris on dirt strips kicked up by the nose wheel causing potential damage.
