The assembly includes: a lower member subassembly in the form of a rectangular frame; and, two upper member subassemblies, each of which carries one of the cameras. These upper subassemblies are rectangular-like in form and are detachably connected to, and slidably movable horizontally above, the lower subassembly. In flight, with the ramp and the door open, the upper assemblies are separately extendable beyond the ramp, and aerial photographs may be taken.
