	There are several simple ways to attach this cam to the plane. More importantly is what you can do to avoid or reduce the jello-effect that all the vibrations from that engine can produce with a cmos camera. I recommend that you look into using gel silicone or some other very soft material with your mount.

	yes you are right, actually I am just try it first. If I will get too much jello-effect than I will think again. so I found an part for hold the camera. it is an tripod. please find the link below. if it is possible to straight or tight by some kind of screw, I believe I can solve the jelly-effect. what are you thinking? thanks again. http://www.sahibinden.com/ilan/alisveris-kamera-fotograf-toplu-satis-kamera-max-5kg-mini-tasinabilir-kelepce-tripod-55307130/detay/ it is an Turkish web site. language could be different for you but you find an English explanation below the page.

	That tripod looks kind of bulky & heavy to me, did you intend you to use all of it or just the balljoint & the clamp ? I realize that your plane can carry some extra weight, but I suggest you do a search on google & youtube for "Anti-vibration camera mount" to give you some ideas. Mounts can be made really light weight. I'm now working on cameramounts for a plane & an octocopter for a Panasonic handycam (250g) & a Panasonic hybrid cam( 610g). I'm only using light & soft materials for both the mounts itself and the dampening. Edited by Dragevo - 13/Feb/2012 at 2:30pm

	I've eleminated 98% of vibration and jello'ing by using a simple block of soft styrofoam as my base mount. Check out my youtube videos and you'll see how I have it set up. You can find me there under this screenname here.

	Sometimes it's best not to think things need be so complicated. That's why I love thinking, outside the box!

	Acyually I am looking someting like that. simple and easy to use. easy to installation and preparation. I guess you had just use a kınd of foam for vibration. am I right? and you used tape for camera. I belive it is working correctly. and enough for recording as well. dou you have detailed pictures? I saw you used wooden pieces. if not no problem. I will use a foam and gel for stabilizing. I believe it will be enough. thanks again for your comment.

	I used white duct tape to secure the foam base down to the fuselage, that way I can move the foam base back, or forward just by untaping it and then re-taping it again. The foam has a slot cut into the top for my base servo to fit down into. The sticks are pop sickle sticks. If you check in the DIY section, I'm adding detailed instructions on building it, with pics and a video.
