and make sure your camera is on a lanyard around your neack. at least that way, if you get hammered by a pothole in the sky, you can safely "drop" your camera, and grab the bar.

An interesting question and one i am looking at at the moment.

I have a SLR and when flying alone that will be a hand full. I have been looking at my old tripods and thinking of dismantling one and putting the head on the crossbar.

Does anyone know of any camera mounts that can to attach to a bar?
