Well Larry this setup seems to help the jitters some. I think a lot of probl
ems are related to harmonic vibrations caused by running a two blade prop. W
hen changing power settings.
I'm going to try a wing mount next. I may try reinforcing under the nose pod
where the camera sits too. Thanks for your help, George
Have a great day!

mount.

esolution, etc. unfortunately it's weight is a lot more then the GoPro sessi
on5. A half pound verses 2 oz. . Besides wind vibration I'm getting a lot of
resonance vibrations thru the airframe especially at reduced or while reduc
ing power. I was wondering how you mount your camera because your videos are
so smooth and vibration free. I really like this camera. It's works well. T

I have had my 4x4 Suzuki Samurai for over twenty years. I have been
modifying it for all of that time. It was my daily driver for many years. I
have a set of tires and wheels for the street and a set for off-road. Or
F'road. Froad. I'm a froader. :-)
I change my 4x4 tires all the time it seems. I trade for different ones, my
4x4 buds and I like to try different ones for different terrain and regions.
In years past I have tried a number of ways to balance big heavy tires.
Off-road it isn't an issue of course, but sometimes I drive hundreds of
miles to my destination.
After all that, no- I have no special insight. I have tried beads and they
are OK. I remember putting some into an inner-tube but forget the other
details. I used them in tubeless tires too just fine. Then I got lazy. With
big knobby meats in sharp rocks you might lose 1/2 a lug or more, or the
tire can have striations all around the circumference. So sometimes on the
way home it gets bumpy. I started using 2-4 ounces of water in my off-road
tires when needed. I had aluminum wheels. Now I use steel wheels and no
longer use water. Might be OK, just haven't tried it. Water works about the
same as beads IN MY OPINION but I have tried no special objective
measurements to determine that, it's all seat of the pants.

Keep the nose down, don't cross control, it is better to lose altitude and smack
the ground too hard under control than to try and retain altitude 1 second too
long and enter a cross control stall.
You guys know what I'm trying to say. Interesting video, worth watching...

Forgiving is tough. Being forgiven is wonderful.
