Clamping video and/or stills inside plane

Recommended Posts

Anybody got any experience of clamping video cameras and/or stills cameras inside an aircraft to record the exit?

For video - how do you dampen down the vibrations?
For stills - how to control the shutter release? Wireless shutter release triggered by jumper? Extra long-cable shutter release triggered by the pilot?
Clamps - any particular clamps recommended?

Any other thoughts, tips, suggestions greatly appreciated. We're just considering some special shots of an event out of a Skyvan and Porter.

Cheers

Blue skies!

Never done it with stills, but have done it with video.
Manfrotto makes a multiclamp that will anchor to a float bar. I didn't worry about damping vibration. The clamp has rubberized mounts, and the plate has rubber beneath it as well, absorbing a very small amount, but the footage was quite useful.
