| Although I don’t own one, I like the Helicam Solutions mount. I think that Jody made a significant improvement by using nylon/plastic parts even though he may have not realised it the time. Perhaps he was just targeting a lightweight design but using a soft material like nylon actually helps to dump the vibrations which aluminium will normally amplify. I really like the way it all comes together with the sandwich type U frame for the camera.
As I said I don’t own and will never buy a commercial camera mount because I like to make it myself. It is part of the fun. However, I will also use nylon sheet for my next design .
