Cessna 337 Photo / Video Windows & Mods - What is out there???

[skymstr02]

Tomcomet,
Try thinking about using a belly pod to mount your camera. There's also enough capacity to mount other goodies too.
A friend of mine had a night vision camera along with other instrumentation on his 337 where he could spot fish at night off the Georges Bank. The fish would create bio illuminecence and the low light camera would detect this, and he could set the boats on the schools.
You could run two 60A alternators with inverters (if A/C current is needed) to create enough power for your gear.

The pilot's side window opens on the early 337s (A & B models, well before the clamshell door.)

Several 337 have camera ports for a cabin-mounted camera shooting straight down. The one that's on barnstormers right now (offering a trade for a 182) has that port installed.

The co-pilot window opened but not the pilot window. Emergency only on the pilot side.

Not a big deal though as it's easy to fly from the right side.

They've also added surveillance equipment to a 337G.

Good luck!
