We are always on the quest for less vibrations in our drone videos… This is a test and review of a surprisingly efficient new type of rubber bobbins I had never seen before. They are not sold as such but only as a spare part for Yuneec’s high end 4k camera, the E90.
These bobbins are used in suspension/traction and not as usual with classical rubber balls in compression. That makes a huge simplification in the installation of a gimbal on a drone’s frame. And consequently makes the gimbal attachment lighter too.
The video below shows what I find impressive results relative to all previous antivibration systems I’ve tested so far.
For the maximum weight these rubber bobbins can sustain, I have no data except what Yuneec is doing on its E90 platform and that is more or less 100 grams per bobbin.

Could you test elasticity when cold Vs warm ? (Refeigate them)

Actually i did the test flight in winter here with about 2°C (freezing at 0°C). Maybe it did not stay out long enough to really cool down so much but it was cold, my fingers can tell you:)
