I have a camera mount for sale.
It is a home made mount, basically a knockoff of a helicamsolutions sport 60 mount.
It is 1/2" fiberglass tubes with HDPE connectors.
Gimbal is carbon fiber with tilt servo installed, and self leveling.
$110 plus shipping.
Paypal only.
Continental US only.
Thanks,

Yes it should fit, it has been used with raptor 550 landing gear before.
I don't know the exact width of the trex skids, the top rails on the mount are 10.75 inches apart.

how is it stabilized? i see the servo for tilt, but what is controlling the roll and pitch stability?

Gravity. :)
It is self leveling via weight of the gimbal. The gimbal with swing side to side, so the camera will always hang level.

Not sure what you mean by video of it in action. I used to use a Rebel XTI in it all the time.
I don't really have video of it being used, as I'm not sure what you would expect to see.
Here is some video shot from the mount.

i just kind of wanted to see if you are holding it and tilt the heli side to side and up and down how the camera mount would react. how does it react to vibrations? any more pics?

Sorry, don't have any video of me holding it and tilting side to side.
It reacts to vibes the way all mounts do. If your heli vibes like crazy, then it will get transfered to the mount.
A trex600E should be smooth, so no issues.
The mount attaches to the heli via bungees, so those allow you to tailor how tight you mount it to the heli.
What else do you want a pict of?

How about an image sequence of it self leveling? :)
If you look at Helicam solutions webpage its the same exact concept but this one seems to have a DJ gimbal which is a good $100+ in itself.
