Precision-Built, Ready for Action.
Quick-release camera mounts designed exclusively for high-speed imaging in extreme Hi-g environments.
Our family of versatile, quick-release camera mounts have become the industry standard for high-speed imaging in airborne, automotive, field and laboratory applications. Beautifully crafted and precision-built with years of expertise, our camera mounts are indispensable tools for demanding photographers and videographers requiring full control of their cameras and instruments in extreme Hi-g environments.
We’ve made significant improvements to the structural integrity of our adjustable camera mounts to meet extremely high vibration g-forces encountered with high-performance, military flight-test aircraft. The cradles & receivers are machined from 2024-T3511 aluminum plate with the cradle slot machined to .625″ for superior strength. Our dedication to precision crafting & continuous innovation has earned us certification by the United States Navy as the only camera mounts approved for F-14 and F-18 flight-test aircraft. Ready for action.
