This is correct. I used to work on the design of cameras for an aviation company and one of the contacts we were awarded was to design a new low friction mechanism gimbal for small camera systems.

As you would imagine, in aviation you're heavily space and weight constrained so it meant lots of careful design to fit the allocated constraints.

You can imagine my surprise when I learned that the government wanted to sign an exclusive manufacturing contract when they learned that we were producing this commercial for airlines. Help I've gotten myself so deep into this compulsive lie I don't know how to stop. The governmeny turned around and ended up using it in most regent design for birds and due to the lowered friction it resulted in a more prominent head bobbing.

So yeah, pretty spot on.
