Vibration isolation
Vibration isolation
In order to obtain a satisfactory video experience, it is recommended to isolate the gimbal
from the vibrations that may be present in the vehicle. This is specially important in
vehicles powered by internal combustion engines or helicopters. Regarding vibration
isolation, we can consider 3 types of vehicles:
•
Combustion engine vehicles and all kind of helicopters
•
Electrical multi-copters.
•
Electrical fixed-wing vehicles.

If U-Camera is to be mounted on this type of vehicles, the use of silent blocks is
mandatory. If the Gimbal is not isolated from the vibrations from the vehicle, the images
provided by U-Camera may not be satisfactory and the gimbal may suffer permanent
damage.
