Anyone else had issues with Vibration on their GoPro's?

Ive currently got 4 mounted on my Blade,

*Tank

Was wondering if anyone came across a solution? Tape?

He did tell you it existed... a slight modification of search (ie, ebay, hero3 anti vibration) gets you this:

I found there was too much vibration with a suction cup mount on the tank to be watchable. My best results are from a helmet mount.

Suction Cup mount vibrates alot. I have used it on tanks in the past and the results have come up ok

I have also used a few of the 3M adhesive mounts on various places, I have had one on my speargun for a year and its still going strong. I wouldn't mount them on plastics though or your going to have a good time.

Would anyone be interested in a billet aluminium mount that can be tack welded in place perhaps on the rear foot peg?

Have heard some tape on the rails helps, yet to give it a go

In that case get a stabilized gimbal and do this sort of thing as well

So far I've only ever been able to find RC helicopter/airplane stuff to do the job.

By far the easiest way to do it is to get a fairly respectable servo that you can mount the camera directly to the shaft of, then get a cheap, single axis piezo gyro to control it. Put the servo on a anti-vibration mount and a add suitable power supply (search ebay for motorcycle usb), chop up a USB cable to power the thing, a bit of fiddling and you're good to go.

Takes a bit of experimenting but it's something different to make your footage stand out from others.
