Default RE: wireless on T-34

Oh, that video was a "Lets see what happens" test. I had taped the camera/tx/battery to a balsa stick then rubberbanded it to the side of the fuse. Stuck up on the end of the stick about 2" above the fuse.
Probably the worst way to do it.
Easiest ways to reduce vibrations:
Mount the camera in something so it is surrounded by foam.
We have also had good luck with it just velcroed to the side of the fuse.
Balance the prop as best as possible.
Run lower RPMs whenever possible.

The best way to mount a video system seems to be to hard mount the camera and soft mount the engine. One of those vibration isolation engine mounts work well.

Since you are using an exisiting plane, your best bets are to either velcro the cam to the fuse, encase the cam in a small balsa or liteply box just big enough to surround the camera in foam and velcro that to the fuse, balance the prop.

Even better, get an electric slowflyer plane such as a Wingo or Slow Stick.
