Does anyone now if this http://www.1001copters.com/en/cinestar-gimbals/145-cinestar-8-gimbal-plate-enhanced.html is compatible with the Toad In The Hole mount for the movi?
Caludio assuming it has the same exact hole pattern then it should work fine. Since 1001copters is a Freefly distributor why don't you ask them if it will work?
Hi Andy, Are you using this plate to use more vibration dampeners? is it helpful with vibrations/shakes? I am looking for replacement of freefly dampeners, possibly something like this http://www.secraft.net/shop/step1.php?number=1300
Hi Jay: No. I use these: http://www.1001copters.com/en/cinestar-gimbals/145-cinestar-8-gimbal-plate-enhanced.html Same basic principle -- distribute the weight of the gimbal over more vibration isolators. Hope this helps Andy.
Thanks Andy, do you add 4 more dampeners when mount this plate ? what was the results? Just considering this mod but original freefly dampeners looks bit overpriced for me.maybe wire rope vibrations isolator instead.what do you think?
Yes. This uses eight dampeners. I just went with the FF dampeners. For me, the copter actually turns out to be the cheapest part of the whole aerial videography process -- but I realize that's obviously a personal choice so I don't mean to criticize your line of thinking at all. Andy.
Hi There Thank you Andy for the answer you gave, it's perfectly right. The puropose of the enhanced plate was to distribute the global weight on more dampeners. The point was that these dampeners were very costy. It appears that the 6 branch star plate works also very well. Best regards, Cedric
Thanks guys, just wondering what results do you have with switching from standard ninja plate for 6 or 8 branch star?Is it worth to upgrade?I'm experiencing micro shakes with standard ninja plate and i'm thinking that more fixing points could help. Andy, I got your point but as Cedric said I believe that 75 dollars http://www.quadrocopter.com/FreeFly-CineStar-Vibration-Dampening-Brackets_p_399.html is too much for it. It's not about $$$ but a ratio price/quality. I may have this one for a tests in near future: http://www.dalesgear.com/vibration-isolators/dmc-mini-quad-vibration-isolator isn't cheep but I will see how it handle vibrations.
