Ray of No Mo Jello wire isolation mounts sent me a new (larger-than-usual) isolation mount to use on my DJI Phantom quadcopter in conjunction with a quadframe.com 2-axis gimbal.

I ended up getting them to work together, but not using the standard GoPro mounting holes on the DJI Phantom frame. The problem with mounting gimbals using the two default screw holes is that it puts the gimbal itself under the holes, which places the GoPro camera too far forward. This throws the center of gravity off, and leads to poor flight performance.

Instead, I turned the isolation mount sideways and attached it to the side beams of the AG400-IS isolation mount, which attach to the landing strut mounting points instead of the default GoPro screw holes. This required that I drill 4 holes: 2 for the mount connection itself, and 2 to allow access for a screwdriver.

The No Mo Jello isolation mount is much thicker than is the AG400-IS, which means that the gimbal ends up being a bit too low for the standard landing struts. I had to  extend the legs by using 4 chopsticks and some zip ties. 

How well did it work? The video is completely jello-free (it works *much* better than does the AG400-IS). There was a ton of wind, so the video itself isn’t fantastic, but it is certainly free of jello. I’m really impressed at how well wire isolation mounts work, and Ray’s version is simple, light-weight, and durable. Highly recommended.
