geebee Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I work as a commercial photographer. I have done many photo flights in Schweitzer 300s and Robinson 44s. I now have an assignment to shoot video. I plan to fly in a Robinson 44 with the doors off. The camera operator will be holding a stabilization rig so that the video footage isn't choppy. He will most likely be in the back right seat. The rig works best if it isn't in constant contact with the helicopter. I want to have a bungee cord attached to the interior ceiling or door frame, so that the rig has a safety connection. And so the bungee cord can take some of the weight of the camera rig so that the operator doesn't get arm fatigue during 2 hours of flying. I want to make sure I bring the right items for my flight in 2 days. Can anyone suggest a good attachment point for me to attach a bungee cord with probably a D ring or carabiner? Is it feasible to put a clamp on the upper door frame or would take be a bad idea?Image of a photo "super clamp"https://uniquephoto-weblinc.netdna-ssl.com/images/products/processed/BGG035RL.zoom.b.jpg Thanks in advance for suggestions and feedback on an attachment point in the interior of the Robinson 44. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
