    I have ordered some different colored vibration dampening 'O' rings and another gimbal
    vibration plate.

    I am going to be doing some testing tomorrow with different colored 'O' rings after they arrive. (Weather permitting)

    Would anyone be kind enough to share with me which combo of different colored 'O'rings has worked for them? Or
    would all one color be better? I understand no one answer fits all but I would like to start off in the right ball park.

    I am flying a C8 with a 5D mkIII and a 24 is lens on a 3 axis gimbal.

    Just trying to save a bit of time

    Cheers

    Nick

    All blue seems to be working for most.
    Although some folks are using all black for heavy loads.
    I found a bit of vibration translation when using black but it was on a smaller payload.

    I have found that the Blues start getting soft in the hot weather 90+ F. I am going to switch to black and see if that makes a difference.

    Thanks, are you guys also using the double gimbal vibration plates?

    We use a double plate and an even mix of red an blue across all 8 isolators. It's helped.
