That's so there isn't any vibration transmitted through the airplane to
the camera. If you do need to rest it against any piece of the plane,
use a bean bag, which will dampen any vibration and stabilize it.

Finally, I shoot aerial photos at a SAFE altitude, typically 1500' agl and at
low cruise speed - none of this slow flight, flaps down stuff.

I used to know this airplane's previous owner (not the one who was killed)
