Chops, do you ever read the posts of others and the documents that you refer to in your own posts?
Yes of course.
Still no answer to my question though.
Where is the LEGISLATION that states carrying a non permanently attached (i.e. no mod to the airframe) internal or external for that matter, camera / mount requires an STC?
Perhaps there is no Legislation (only guidance), that's why we can't find it.
Which would mean mounting it anyway would not be illegal. The only way it could be made illegal is if a CAA representative declares it unsafe and issues a prohibition to fly notice, then if flown with said mount rigged, then becomes an offence, all be it a different offence.
That is my experience anyway.
