Vibration Dampener Reelsteady Session 5

thingiverse

This is a mold to create a silicon dampeners for your Gopro Session 5 to use it with reelsteady. The slicon dampeners take out the high frequency noise that mess up with reelsteady. Top and bottom are the only things required to print. After printing put the two peaces together, insert a 3mm stick to create the hole for screws and fill the mold with silicon. Tip: dip the mold in water first, this will help with curing the silicon. Additionally you can add a little drop of acrylic paint in the silicon mix it and insert it with a syringe. This allows for faster curing and I guess it makes the silicon more sponge. Dont let it dry in the mold for too long or you will have a hard time getting it out. I think maybe 5-7 hours are enough. With those dampeners you can use your normal camera mount. Screw the silicon damperes with a washer on your frame, secure the mount to the dampener with zip ties and also a washer. I did not have a crash with them yet, but if you just do slow freestyle and cruising it holds up fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4xgHDEmnGA Here´s a video of the dampeners in action Edit: I use some additional dampeners to stiffen up the mount like shown in the picture below. This helps in some situations to reduce shaking when stopping after a agressive flip. You can find them here : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4740745
