Recently I have been enticed by my tricopters capabilities for holding a camera. At the moment I am putting together a flying montage about stuff I have done with my tricopter.
I was getting heaps of jello effect into my camera.
What does that mean? I asked myself. It means I am getting vibrations through my frame and into my camera.
What should I do about it?
Balance my props? Done that twice.
Maybe do some research and see what other people have done.
So I did my research and I came across the articles below. I merged them together and this is what I got.
I used David's tubing idea on the piece of ply. I also used a battery on the suspended ply for absorbing some vibrations and keeping the thing steady.
That reduced some of the vibrations.
I still hadn't quite got it all. Onto my next idea....
I had heaps of that black foam that the KK2 board came in to I peeled off the top part of the bottom half and cut the thicker foam for glueing onto the plywood. I cut it to shape then glued it on with superglue. This foam can handle hot glue too.
I tested that out it reduced vibration even further but I still wasn't happy. I then found some soft white foam almost like epp but softer and wasn't rough. Soo I cut that to shape and just stuck it under the camera. It reduced vibration even further.
I still wasn't happy so I decided to put some of that blue hobbyking velcro that is VERY hard to peel off. So I stuck that underneath the white foam and on top of the black (just using the velcro's adhesive). I WAS VIBRATION FREE!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my answer to reducing vibration. This was created after the video of my school which was taken with the black foam.
Here's a little fun-fact: Did you know that velcro was officially invented in 1948 and was made famous by NASA's expedition in the 60's.
Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!
