Stable cameras - Was Sony

Many years ago, probably in the mid 70s, a energy conservation photographer that frequented the camera shop I worked in bought a stabilizer so he could take IR photos of buildings from an aircraft to isolate the places that were "heat leaks" .

It was, as I remember, about the size of a large beer can and had a screw mount for a camera on top . I there was a power connector on the bottom and maybe something else. The inside had a nitrogen 'atmosphere' and gyroscopes. When power was applied and the gyros wound up I seem to remember hand holding a body with, I believe, a 300mm or 400 mm lens. An expensive little tool, but wow!, did it work.......
