I'm flying an f450 and shooting video on a Canon point-and-shoot.
Question Numbero Uno:
What are you looking for when selecting a material to go in-between the camera and the frame?
I'm currently using a ton of velcro. Velcro between camera and PCB, a velcro strap all around to hold it down, and a 3rd strap to keep it moving front-to-back a little. See pics (I strap it on tighter than it looks when I'm actually flying). A pretty rough setup - I'm especially unsure about how well that 3rd strap prevents front-to-back tilting. See the video below for a demo of the vibration I get. (This is with stock props; forthcoming APC props and balancing everything will also help a lot)
The protruding piece of the PCB is supposed to be flabby enough to contribute to vibration. I got some landing gear, and have a whole bunch of sketches I kinda want advice on for how I might hard-mount it beneath the center of frame using a little balsa jig. I decided the question I've put forward here really needs to be asked before anything else, though.
As a bonus, here is another video of vibrations on a windy day with a stupid/amusing crash.

- Rubber
- Velcro
- Moon gels
- Nothing - just strap it on tight.
- Gasket material
- Cottage cheese
