Re: How to vibration isolate camera ?

Start by minimizing the vibration produced by the shooter.
Once you have it running as smooth as possible, try to make the camera mount and supporting frame as stiff as possible. Do not leave any portion of the mounting frame unsupported. In other words, try not to mount the camera on a big moment arm that can start oscillating.

Take a close look at this video and you can see how the camera frame is supported. (The camera is the high point on the robot.) We have very little vibration and can track targets even with the wheels up to speed.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3314964842956
