Re: shooting from a helicopter

He never stated categorically it was shot with a Tyler mount... I have done gigs where we gaffed a lipstick cam with a wide angle lens to the NiteSun steerable spotlight on the chopper's belly, and got "pan/tilt control"...

Just sayin', maybe it wasn't really a *stabilized* mount. Some helis are better-balanced than others and a camera hanging out front is on a longer moment arm than one mounted in the doorway. A wide lens is always better for helicopter work; you treat the aircraft like it's the dolly holding a cam with a prime lens, and move the aircraft in and out instead of zooming the lens.
