A base portion of the apparatus is carried on a cushioned seat, and a universally adjustable mast is carried on the base in a selected position with respect to the platform and isolated from the base by an elastomeric cushion to eliminate vibration. A camera or other sensor is carried on a servo-controlled attachment fixture fastened to the top of the mast, and a video monitor is located in view of the aircraft operator. Servo-controls for adjusting and operating the camera or other sensor are located in reach of the aircraft operator. A cart is used for storage and to support the mast during installation or removal of the base. |
