When I finally saved up enough to replace my POS Dell laptop I bought an
Acer with Windows 10 already installed and was delighted to find that Movie
Maker is back. I've made camera mounts for my trike and for Christmas I
went looking through Amazon for the latest offerings in action cams. It's
amazing what's out there but, as always, money is tight when it comes to
toys. I found some good reviews for a GoPro clone marketed by Peyou US Ltd.

I'm having an issue that I can't decide is a camera or a mount issue. I've
put two short clips on You Tube so the engineer I'm working with can see
what is very hard to describe. In the first:
https://youtu.be/wQQQHRxujO8
you can see the problem. If I decide to make a video called "Kanandreas,
Richter 11.0" I've got the special effects nailed.
But when I throttle back for landing everything smooths out:

So, there's certainly fuel for hope that it can be ironed out. On my end
I'm going to isolate the camera on a block of Sorbothane and add a lead
weight as an inertial damper.
The best part is that these little action cams are $54 on Amazon. Add two
32 gigabyte micro SD cards and the tab comes to a little over $80.
Disclaimer, I neither own stock nor am I in any way connected to Peyou US
Ltd. I just bought a couple of their cameras.
I know everyone enjoys Larry C's videos so I thought I'd pass along what
I've found in my latest delve into videos.

PS I tried them out for stills, too. It has a bit of a fisheye look (the
camera is claimed to have a 170 degree field of view) but it's better than
most phones can do.

For me padding did not solve the harmonics problem. The best that I found
was off the nose pod as solid as I could make it. You still get a bit
during throttle down, but better every where else. I also found that mine
settled down at different speeds, best was the high end of the throttle
range. Your best bet is to find the spot on the plane where the vibration
is the least.
Good luck
