I think my post led to some of that confusion.
I always assumed that Don did
not shoot with a Tyler mount... and my original post suggested that unless one
does use the mount, often times some unexpected jitters etc. have been known to come into play.
Great footage, of course, can be had without the uber-expensive (and hard-to-find, depending on your market) mounts... but I've found that the quality of footage to be wildly variable.
I'll fully confess though that I've never shot video with a helicopter-mounted camera... only 35mm (and a little 16mm). I'd be interested to know how much of the "jitters" is attributable to the HD format, which would not be seen on actual film.
