What is important to understand is that you whant to isolate vibration (little fast), while dampening shocks (slow and big). What the wires and a rubbery material have in common is the combinition of a spring like quality and a dampening quality. The spring quality stores energy (e.g. hight energy) so after the vibration the camera comes up to its starting position again, the dampening kills energy and prevents a vibration amplitude buildup. So you have to tune the amount of each quality. I am trying to build one for my Ronin S on a car, but my first attampt using a 8mm wire did not really work out. Does someone have done some experamenting using different wire?
id really like to see an update to this video when its ready.
Are you selling these isolators? Need something for a 10-12 lbs. rig.

@John Hopper
do you have a CAD design available?
Silicone not silicon the latter is an element.
