Middle Mount Configuration:

	Arriflex 16-SR2 & Middle Mount in Bell-Jet Long Ranger (below)
The Tyler Middle Mount, as well as other side mounts are designed for shooting out the side of a helicopter.  They are most commonly used on the right-hand side of the aircraft.  Side mounts allow for tracking shots of moving objects, flyby's and/or flying circles around your subject.

Nose Mount Configuration:

The Nose Mount is hard mounted just below the aircraft's nose.  The camera mount can easily be tilted up or down while in flight. The best shots generally are straight on, approaching, and looking in a forward direction - much like mowing a lawn.  Examples: following roads, shorelines, rivers, valleys and mountain ridges.

Ball Mount Configuration:

The Ball Mount configuration houses the camera lens and sometimes the entire camera combined with multiple gyros.  These gyros stabilize the shot allowing for moderate to long lenses to be used while maintaining a level horizon.
