Thanks to all for the good advice.

I'm somewhat surprised that there is so little information on the web
relative to aircraft camera mounts and remote camera controls. It
seems as if the industry is set up strictly for higher altitude
acquisition.

Incidentally, our fixed wing contractor does employ a trained spotter
(his wife).

We know this camera idea will be beneficial but finding the hardware is
going to be the biggest challenge. If anyone has any experience,
knowledge, or insight on equipping the aircraft, please share it.
