Got to be careful the camera mount doesn't interfere with the safety system on a depower setup.

Has anyone mounted one on a 4line FB on handles?

Those have been around for years. Not so good on a FB, pulls the lines to much in opposite directions.

Just an FYI, the original manufacturers of these rigs is currently in their 2nd or 3rd generation and they have moved the mount of the camera sort that it is vertical centered so there is less pendulum swing causing image wobble.

You can see how high (or low, if you flip it) it would sit, in relation to the line path.




That's the same way the CamRig and other manufacturers use to mount.



In the latest versions the Center of Gravity of the camera is centered with the path of the lines where they attach to the mount:



Jeff Howard does a good job of explaining the change here:
