No, the orion has the camera but both the p-3 and the mh60 have mad sensors.
On the helo you have to stream the mad sensor and start doing runs not exceeding a threshold speed otherwise you will break the wire.
On the p-3 you just activate the sensor and you're good to go, you don't have to worry about going to fast.
