Our cameras record HD video. The cameras are internally stabilized.
We're going to try the vibration-damping pad first, as price is a more limiting factor for us (at this time) than performance. If the quality is not what we're looking for then we'll seek funding for a more elegant solution...
Good point at the end there. Your reference to microradian gimbals is an excellent starting point. I think I can figure out how to answer the question but to get to that answer I'll have to understand some issues that I frankly, haven't thought about.
We acquired low altitude vertical CIR...
You flippantly mention chewing gum, but if you think about it, chewing gum would probably be an effective shock absorber if contained within a membrane. I know a fellow who uses breast implant gel packs for his stereo system, for example.
I agree with the bungie thing, which is why we...
thruthefence, that is exactly what I want to avoid.
We have a vertical CIR digicam mounted through the fuselage and had to go thru that FAA process. It's a good process but I don't propose any permanent airframe mods. As I understand it, if we do not permanently mount then we are okay and a...
My mistake guys, for providing insufficient information. The 185 in this case is 2 bladed, single prop. As my screen name suggests, my background is botany, not engineering (though I did deceive several physicists and mathematicians on my rite-of-passage as an undergrad).
Currently, I work...
Newbie, non-engineer, here.
I wish to mount 2 Sony HVR-A1U HD videocams in the rear compartment of a Cessna 185 amphib. Weight and stability are the primary important factors, so the cameras will be mounted on short pedestals permanently bolted to a plywood base. I believe that vibration will...
