there is only mine and airfoil for the trex 450 mount, unless you want to cook up your own.

for 600, are you looking for nose mount or LG? it would be easy to do a 600 nose mount, (with batteries moved to the side) otherwise, you could run strap on like helicam type.

for nitro, I think DJs shock mounted design is really good.

If you were a bit closer, I'd gladly give you a demo flight of the AP2000i. I'm very happy with mine. That's why I chose to become a distributor. I've not use any other systems personally but, from what I've read and been told by persons buying the AP2000i, dollar for dollar, the Spartan can't be beat. DJ, Scott and Gary(among others) have said pretty much the same thing in other posts here.

I agree with Mark. I love the ap-2000i. I have one on an ep-8, a Logo 10 Carbon and on a Raptor. It lets you fly farther and higher, with more confidence.

I'm looking forward to the day that Angelos can add an inertial sensor option, which will allow the helicopter to do piro/pans, like Tabb does with his $10,000 Carvec system. :)
