Apparatus for mounting a camera on a vehicle, such as a helicopter, to dampen the transmission of undesired motion from the vehicle when moving to the camera. The apparatus includes an elongated suspendable structure with a large inertia relative to the camera. The structure has a boom, for supporting the camera, extending from one end of an attachment portion of the structure, and a counter-balance beyond an opposite end of the attachment portion. The apparatus is rigidly securable to the vehicle and resiliently compliant damping is operable between the vehicle and the attachment portion of the suspendable structure to dampen the transmission of undesired motion from the vehicle to the camera. The damping has a center of compliance substantially at the center of gravity of the suspendable structure.

Appareil servant à monter une caméra sur un véhicule tel qu'un hélicoptère, pour amortir la transmission des mouvements indésirables entre le véhicule en mouvement et la caméra. Cet appareil est constitué d'une structure allongée qu'on peut suspendre et qui possède une inertie importante par rapport à la caméra. Cette structure est munie d'une perche permettant de soutenir la caméra, déployée au niveau de l'une des extrémités d'une section de fixation de cette structure, et de soutenir un contrepoids situé plus loin que l'extrémité opposée de cette section de fixation. Cet appareil est fixé rigidement au véhicule et permet de créer un amortissement élastique asservi entre le véhicule et la section de fixation de cette structure pour amortir la transmission des mouvements indésirables entre le véhicule et la caméra. Cet amortissement possède un centre de compliance situé à proximité du centre de gravité de cette structure que l'on peut suspendre.
