Vibration damping techniques

hmmm did u try o rings on pillars?

I considered o-rings but didnt think I would be able to loop them through the FC holes.

no like this

Nice idea. I didnt consider them thatway, thinking my luck would have it,and the FC would touch the stem shaft and vibrate still. I didnt want to take any chances and the price of rubberbands wasnt worth trying :/   
    So that does work then?

[nub]

aye for me anyways never had a problem with vibes at all, always does as its told (usually lol) no strange twitches etc out of no where.

if your vibes are that bad it interferes with the FC i';d be taking a look at the setup trying to suss out were them bad vibes are coming from.

is that a multwii board? if it is u could also mess about with the gyro filters if u didn';t know that already.

nah I didnt know. Im scared to play with PIDs only becaise ive never done it before nor played with filters.  It is a HK multiwii pro2 :/

[nub]

nothing to be scared of min

the filters are pretty straight forward a simple on or off and check your vibes in multiwiiconf.

Nub...thats good to know. Do you happen to know where I can do some research about them? Any good websites?


Tesla,  sorry it appears we hijacked your thread.

its was on RCG';s i think i read about them when doing a little research on MWC';s and DJI frames.

Hi, Well i don';t know if it still as inert as it used to be but sorbothane is the best i can find for dampening. Used it to great effect for ic';s(nitro';s). I played with a 6" cube of the stuff very strange.....

PS must check for missing words when typing sorry)

Banggood has got sets of 4 silicone anti vib balls (60g, 100g and 600g) for 2.99 usd...  Might be worth a group buy!

I went through a lot of attempts to vib damping so this post has been interesting. The best fix I found was to tackle the cause of the vib though instead of just damping it out. Went and got myself a good prop balancer and spent a night precision balancing the props, then followed some tutorials to check my motor balance. This resulted in loads of jello on my gopro footage now to absolutely nothing. I don';t even use the rubber damping boots on my gimbal anymore and instead hard mount it to the frame. Subsequently the FC is a load happier too.
