we are working on a variety of approved STC'd light weight camera mounting platforms, specifically for the R44/R66, AS350/355, 206/407 etc. we already have our sister company making a high speed case specific for the GoPro at the following:
PEOVI | Go faster?Way faster?. we have run the Peovi cases over 300MPH on top fuel funny cars. they use ultra slow video motion to review the color of exhaust to determine how cylinders are functioning.
we would not agree with the statement concerning mods that non permanent changes do not need an approval. we cannot speak for every aviation agency, but from experience, you will need approvals for anything hanging outside the airframe. many of our mounts do not require permanent mods, but they DO need STC's.
