Introduction and General Description: The system is used and Installed on Eurocopter AS350 & AS355 helicopters, It can be installed on High or Low Gear aircraft. The mount system can be installed in the following configurations: Nose Mount Only Side Mount Only Counter Weight Only Or any combination of above – Calculate weight and balance for Installed items and check for proper loading of aircraft. A modification to the forward belly panel is required. Antenna, lights, and additional installed equipment may have to be relocated to provide clearance for the camera mount system. The AF200 mount system consist of a center mounted support bar that attached to the forward lower aircraft hard points. This center cross tube bar allows the nose mount section and / or the side mount sections to be attached. A counter weight section is used when using the nose mount. The mount will accept various spherical camera systems with a 40” diameter ball and weighing 275#. A counter weight box is provided to accept a maximum of 200# The mount consist of these main assemblies: ??NOSE MOUNT ASSEMBLY NO A400 ??COUNTER BALANCE ASSEMBLY NO A100 ??RH AND LH SIDE MOUNT ASSY A300
