Cam Platform

[Aerial RC Photog]

This might be a pretty tough question,,

The platform that I built for the camera, flys smooth as silk on the TREX600E

Now the TREX600N is very stable, Super clean, No vibration with no payload,
When it's mounted to the Cam Platform, It has a nasty little random wobble,

I think it's the Skidz on the TREX600N.
The Skidz on the 600E are wider and fit tighter in the Platform saddle,
any Ideas, :confused:

A lot of people have the mount attached to the heli just by 4 bungie cord loops, so the mount actually hangs about 1 inch away from the heli. This should isolate the two, and prevent any random frequency vibe happening when the two are locked together

I thought of that, but that would require some more engineering of the platform.
Example.
Taking off and landing the Skidz would have to hit the exact same spot on the platform everytime.
If you were landing and the skidz slipped off the platform, etc that wouldn't be to good:...:

I thought about building four CF tubes with internal slids and four externally mounted shocks for a more rigid landing in lieu of bunges or even Zip ties.
That would increase dampning in a controlled direction..

I have to get caught up on a couple things before I do that,
When I get little ahead. I was going to build a set (Gas / hydraulic) Skidz and test them out. I have a set on the bench now tossing some Ideas around.

Gas Hydraulic skidz.
Cost of materials.
CF Tube and Slide $6.00
Shocks $19.99
Nitrogen $8.00
Misc Screws $5.69

A pack Bunge Cord $19.99 Walmart

I always look at the Dollar amount :YeaBaby:

If you use the bungee's 1/4" hanging below the skids has been discussed before. If you have them to loose landing is a real trick.

It probably has been discussed before, Never saw that thread,
ctrl c ctrl v might help me find it, :YeaBaby:

I like the direction controlled weigh distribution dampning Idea better.
Leaves less for Chance.
I'm Almost done building the Nitro Gas Skidz shocks,
