Here's a helicopter shoot I did recently.
We removed the right rear door, I set up a tripod with a 5/8 pin and a mini-rod and grip head that extended and hung just outside the door. Attached small bungee to that and cradled the lens with the bungee. Both the rod and the bungee absorbed most of the vibration, worked great.
Unfortunately I shot this at 60 fps and forgot to change the shutter to 120, I had it set to 60 which give the impression of frame blending and the image is not as sharp as I would like.
Nevertheless the support worked great.
