Anti-vibration solution with moongel

From the wikipedia, Moongel is a translucent blue, sticky, gel-like substance produced by the drum practice products company RTOM. It has been incorporated into several products and come in packs of four which can applied to a drumhead or cymbal to diminish the higher overtones. It also has become a popular studio technique due to its dampening properties. Therefore, it allows for drummers to get a "punchier" sound of out their toms.

I read people use this as a solution as well for reducing vibrations. So I went to a music store and bought a small box of Moongel. It contains four of five pieces of it.

So the trick here is to put two or three of this pieces inside the GoPro housing, trying to have the Moongel all around the camera so it doesn't touch the housing directly. It's a bit tricky, but play with it! :)

 

 I've also added that wood stick at the front of the quad in order to be able to have different point of views while flying.

I'll see how the whole thing behaves!

Anti-vibration solution with ear plugs

I've experienced lots of vibrations and jello on camera. There's a lot of discussion about this issue on forums. Every part of the multicopter counts for having more or less vibrations or jello. Also the settings of the GoPro have to be taken into account.

I've tried to fly with the camera directly on the quadcopter, but all the motor vibrations are directly transmitted to the camera. I haven't got any video of this part, the result was really bad so I just deleted it :p For this flight, I put a bit of foam around the camera:

So after that I read that ear plugs go well and solve part of this vibrations and jello effect. I've to say that I'm recording in 720 and 30fps, wide FOV, but I've no video of this part neither :(.

I was not happy with the results... still lots of vibrations!!!

But I love that views from the air :)
