Does the battery get relocated when you have a nose mounted camera?
Yes, by the fire crew after the crash.

3 pax + cineflex + floats on an 820 (?) kg machine shouldn't break the bank, even with an hour's fuel
It may be legal but the setup compromises the shots for sub 1000ft AGL aerials. Main factor is need for higher forward speed just to stay airborn and also less shot choice going downwind for same reason.

Local reports say they were going Jerez to Malaga approx 100 miles.

In respect to an emergency, would anyone care to put a number on the difference in auto rotation and glide performance, if any, with 120kg less on board?
