RE: Giant Big Stik Camera Platform
Hi wjglynn,
I have a large aircraft I'm outfitting for AP duty as well, but I'm having serious vibration issues with a new Fuji 45 ... can you take a closeup of your anti-vibration mounting and possibly clue me in where I can get some vibration dampers like yours?
Thanks!
Dan

RE: Giant Big Stik Camera Platform
Dan,
I really do not have anything special for vibration dampening. Is there something in the pictures that looks like something for vibration dampening? On an adjacent thread I have posted my last video from yesterday. My new mount seems to have more vibration issues than the earlier Lynxmotion mount. The name of the thread is " the prefect platform for aerial photography ". I would be happy to discuss how my plane is assembled if you have a more specific question?

Hi Bill,
It looked like you had some rubber lord mounts or something from this photo:

I'm looking at how to soft-mount the engine more so than the camera mount itself. I have some lord mounts to dampen the camera mount assembly from the aircraft, but this new Fuji 45 is a lot bigger than the Evolution 26 it is replacing and yesterday during engine runs, two different connectors had wires break from the vibration.
I know this might be more of a general question than one specifically for you, but I think it's much better to go right to the source since you're flying a camera. The engine guys all seem to argue over soft-mount or no-soft-mount; I'm a believer if it works for you :-)
Here's a pic of my camera mount ... maybe it will give you some ideas.

Thanks for the conversation and the help,

Dan,
I found an appropriate rubber mount while at Joe Nall a few weeks back. I am in the process of mounting on my GBS. Here is a link to what I bought. While the plane is spatted I have also used some rubber bushings to isolate the camera mount in the same manner. Got them at the local hardware store.
