Well they say respect your elders but Brian is younger than me but I should have listened.

Ive been trying to sort out a camera mount for the quad and Brian told me to go with his design which was ear plugs glued between 2 solid plates.

Well I had the plates but no ear plugs so rather than drive to the hardware store and get some I tried everything else first.

1 layer of foam. No good
2 layers of foam. Worse.
3 layers of foam. Terrible.
ZYX foam. Slightly better.
ZYX foam with a velcro strap. Almost passable.
Hot glue the fuc****** straight to the frame. Pretty good but not perfect.

So I grab my keys to go get some ear plugs and my boarder tells me he has some he thinks.

Yep he had 4 so out to the shed and fashion a mount using the plugs and when finished I kid you not, I laughed my head off and said this is going to be the worst one yet.
Go out and take a test video with the Mobius using 720p 60fps and 1080p 30fps and would you believe it, beautiful.
Its ugly as sin, dont know why or how but should have saved myself 3 hours and listened to my old pal Brian.
The pics show a #16 on the mount but it was still a bit wavey. Replaced it with the Mobius and all good.
Tomorrow the lights are going on.
