TBS Discovery Gimbal Mount by dmcke5

Last crawled date: 4 years, 5 months ago

Here's my design for what I consider the best Gimbal mount for the TBS discovery. By using decent propellers you will eliminate most of the course vibration meaning that the vibration that will reach your camera is normally very fine. The standard rubber grommet style mounts are not very good at eliminating these fine vibrations so it can be difficult to get a nice smooth picture. This mount allows you to slide four rubber grommet's over the front two standoff's and sandwich the mount between the frame plates and the outer part of the grommet, essentially isolating the mount from the frame. This gives a very firm mount (which makes more aggressive flying possible, check out midway through the second video), but still removes a large amount of the fine vibrations seen in most peoples videos.
Here's some videos shot with this mount, to prove its effectiveness. Unfortunately my GoPro has seen better days so the video quality isn't all that great, but you get the idea. I'll have some 2.7k footage from my Xiaomi Yi sometime in the next few weeks once I've retuned the gimbal for it, so stay tuned!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT8StzpEjGghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w87musaSmF0
