When I finally saved up enough to replace my POS Dell laptop I bought an Acer with Windows 10 already installed and was delighted to find that Movie Maker is back. I've made camera mounts for my trike and for Christmas I went looking through Amazon for the latest offerings in action cams. It's amazing what's out there but, as always, money is tight when it comes to toys. I found some good reviews for a GoPro clone marketed by Peyou US Ltd.

I'm having an issue that I can't decide is a camera or a mount issue. I've put two short clips on You Tube so the engineer I'm working with can see what is very hard to describe. In the first:

you can see the problem. If I decide to make a video called "Kanandreas, Richter 11.0" I've got the special effects nailed.
But when I throttle back for landing everything smooths out:

So, there's certainly fuel for hope that it can be ironed out. On my end I'm going to isolate the camera on a block of Sorbothane and add a lead weight as an inertial damper.
The best part is that these little action cams are $54 on Amazon. Add two 32 gigabyte micro SD cards and the tab comes to a little over $80.
Disclaimer, I neither own stock nor am I in any way connected to Peyou US Ltd. I just bought a couple of their cameras.
I know everyone enjoys Larry C's videos so I thought I'd pass along what I've found in my latest delve into videos.

PS I tried them out for stills, too. It has a bit of a fisheye look (the camera is claimed to have a 170 degree field of view) but it's better than most phones can do.

For me padding did not solve the harmonics problem. The best that I found was off the nose pod as solid as I could make it. You still get a bit during throttle down, but better every where else. I also found that mine settled down at different speeds, best was the high end of the throttle range. Your best bet is to find the spot on the plane where the vibration is the least.
Good luck
