Jello be gone

Finally managed to get some half-decent footage from my F450 and iphone4.
When I first got the copter a couple of weeks ago and put the phone on it the footage was atrocious - just vibration crazy and really blurry.
Tried loads of different elaborate mounting methods with no effect and then ordered a prop balancer and new props.
So then I balanced the props and also the motors. This helped a lot but there was still bad jello effect.
Finally I saw in a youtube vid someone using moongel to good effect and thought id try it - this is the result.
There was a fair old wind blowing and I was on a 3s 2200 with the "new" 10" dji props. 2 of the motors have rough sounding bearings too - i've ordered new bearings and hope this will improve things even more,
I know the footage is dull but it's just to show the effect of the moongel.
Can't wait to try some more interesting shots when the wind buggers off.

I'm UK too. I got mine off ebay and Amazon do them too - just search for moongel - it's meant to dampen drumkits and comes in packs of 4 little squares for about 6 quid I think (so it's not cheap considering what you get) but it really has worked magic on my footage.
A lot of people say sorbethane is good to and it looks a bit like moongel but have never seen it it real life so can't comment on how it compares

this looks interesting http://www.britishaudiostore.com/sor...damping-sheet/

You can get them from almost any music store. I got a big giant workout pad from Sam Ash a couple years ago and they still stick. Awesome for vibration damping.

Moongel seems to trump sorbathane:
