I also considered ..maybe you turned the Right seat around backwards on the tracks so the seat is facing aft...Prolly wouldn't work because the back of the seat would "interfere" (NOT Good) with the right Yoke.

OK Young Man...HOW did you do it...??? If I tried twisting around to take the video for 2 minutes....I would be frozen in place and have to be removed from the aircraft on landing, by EMTs.
I always fly the plane- from the left seat- until we start shooting, at which point I turn it over to my safety pilot so that I can concentrate fully on the shot. In the helicopter I usually shoot from the left rear seat (as you saw in the picture).

FYI- we did NOT get this shot the first time!
