The belly mounted bracket was designed by Aerospace Design Facilities UK

in conjunction with gimbal experts from around the world drawing on thousands of hours of aerial filming experience with other brackets.

A small slit is required in bellypan then it can be fitted with no modification to an aircraft frame in one hour.

Designed to meet the exacting requirement of future high definition TV gimbals the bracket can also accept other payloads that fall within its certified weight and size criteria. It has already been acknowledged by one user as the most stable derigable bracket for Ultramedia gimbals.

So far every aviation company that has tested it has bought one! Three companies have ordered second UBMs.

The bracket can be used in all EASA member states! Other countries on request.

BENEFITS

• VNE 130knts. The fastest derigable bracket.

• The mount fits below the belly pan, biased to the left or right side.

• It does not interfere with any flight controls and can be fitted to IFR, autopilot equipped aircraft.

• Left side pedals can remain in place and fully functional. Two pilots can fly.

• Fits in one hour.

• Does not interfere with floats.

• Two brackets and two payloads are feasible (subject to approval)

• Rig an entire fleet with just the discreet brackets so that the pole section can be fitted to any aircraft in minutes.

• Conforms to latest crash worthiness criteria from UK CAA.

• No welds!

• CAD designed with consideration to aircraft vibration.

• An optional split bellypan modification enables the bracket to be totally autonomous. Bracket and case with split belly pan can be transported as checked bagged.

Note that we can certify other payloads, like fake weapons on the utility boom mount for movie use. As we own the design we can make a fast feasibility and cost study before proceeding with full CAA approval for;

• Searchlights
• POV shots of missile or aircraft, with object in foreground for realistic effect
• Specialised cameras
