where to make or buy an Anti Vibration Cam mount?
Hey all I'm trying to figure out a way to get some non-shaky footage out of my flycamoneHD, I strap it to my nitro airplanes and the engines produce vibration. I know electric is a better way for video footage...but does anyone know of a mount tat will do this or how i can build a mount? any advice and pics and links would be greatly appreciated!!!
Here is some video footage i took with the flycamHD camera and notice the vibration =( [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpNcnCeUXRI&list=UUtsci7m3C4tCYIlkXFCJCNg&index=1&feature=plcp]Hanger 9 Toledo special[/link]

I made a similar quest a few years ago but never found the Holy Grail of anti-vibration for our small models. The rock-steady video obtained by full-scale news helicopters, etc, is stabilized by very expensive and heavy gyro units and optical stabilizers in the camera.
Even with electric models you will get some vibration. Vibration appears to be less if you use a wide-angle lens. [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLuP9V71FCo]Here[/link] is some video made with my electric aerial platform.

A suggestion and answer might be something simular to the steady cam device used by TV camera men. It's a spring return omni directional mount. It absorbs sudden movement and vibration.

blhollo2,
You will likely have to buld your own. I would suggest you use soft "jelly" mounts and fit them into your system. You might want to try using two sets of mounts...one set on the end of the mount where it mounts to the plane and another set where the camera mounts to the bracket.

Try a GoPro Hero...the Hero 2 just came out and the Hero1s are a good price. I mounted mine on the top wing over the CG on an Ultimate 300-10. It runs an OS 1.20 AX. Here is a link to see the pland and videos
